[twitter-dev] API for marking tweets seen

2009-10-07 Thread Theyagarajan S
Hello, As someone who uses tweetdeck,web and my mobile client i would think if there was a way an app would know if the tweet was already seen by a user.One way i could think of is knowing/storing the least tweet (by timestamp) that was fetched by user with API/web, and any app that user will

That's simply for generating the signature base string. it does not matter when you're actually sending the parameters. On Wed, Oct 7, 2009 at 05:33, ryan alford ryanalford...@gmail.com wrote: Here is the documentation on ordering the parameters... http://oauth.net/core/1.0#anchor14 Section

No, that's for both the generation of the signature and the request. I just tested it. If the parameters are not in the correct order, the request will fail with a 401 Unauthorized error. In my test, I put the timestamp before the nonce. The request failed. If I put the parameters in order,

Sure, I'll justify this mroe... One of our apps receives updates via the Streaming API and the various REST api methods (mentions, user timelines, friends/home timelines). We collect data as JSON as it's to date been faster and mor compact than alternatives... we can also then go on to use this

Well, you're not making use of JSON as JSON, and instead use brute-force methods to extract parts of it... I think it's a bit unfair to request that change to be made, as it would complicate things for everyone doing real JSON-to-OO mapping. Just my 2c. And no, retweet_status is perfectly valid -

I agree. I use multiple clients throughout the day and the ability to know where I left off is a huge plus so that I don't have to memorize what the last tweet I read was (especially if its been a while). Although it would be a bit difficult and can turn into a nightmare for the website. For

Twitter should really in this case either white list all GAE IPs (I'm sure an email to Google could get all IPs they use) or allow charging API requests to an authenticated account rather than by IP (much like the REST API does). This way each GAE application would just set up a twitter account

Yes that would be a nice feature to have. A simple true/false value in the status payload marking it read/unread would do just fine. Also having an API endpoint to toggle this would also be nice for marking statuses as unread/read. Josh On Wed, Oct 7, 2009 at 6:32 AM, Theyagarajan S

Yes to two different accounts for sampling and filtering. You can filter by keyword (track) and userid (follow) on the same connection. Their limits don't interfere with each other. We encourage this behavior, as our cost is somewhat vaguely aligned with the number of connections and the rate of
