[twitter-dev] Re: Connection Reset by Peer
What's the benefit of using oAuth for whitelisted accounts? If no other user is going to use it but me for the purposes of my app, I'm not sure oAuth gives me any benefits (or Twitter for that matter). That's besides the point though - oAuth or not shouldn't be affecting this. This is something that has worked for over a year and just stopped working. I'm trying to figure out what happened, or if Twitter turned something off.

+1 too. I want to test a new concept using lists as opposite to multiple accounts.

If you're a perl developer and you're on the Lists beta, please test it and give me some feedback. Download it here:http://search.cpan.org/~mmims/Net-Twitter-3.07999_01/ For documentation see: perldoc Net::Twitter::Role::API::Lists You'll need to include the API::Lists trait: my $nt = Net::Twitter-new(traits = ['API::Lists', ...], ...); You can always use the user parameter as the first placeholder argument to any of the API calls. Any or all of the parameters included in the API URL can be passed as placeholder arguments. Additional arguments are passed by name in a HASH ref as the final argument. Any or all parameters can be passed in the HASH ref. For example, these calls are equivalent: my $list = $nt-create_list(perl_api = { name = 'test', mode = private } ); my $list = $nt-create_list({ user = 'perl_api', name = 'test', mode = 'private', }); In my own testing, I've noticed that the update_list call always returns a 500 status, even though it succeeds. That's probably a Twitter bug that will be worked out. The Lists API support is experimental. It will very likely change before a final release. Feedback welcome. -Marc

[twitter-dev] Re: XML parsing error when using JSON search.twitter.com/search.json?
You're getting 403 errors from Twitter. You're being rate limited because you're not passing a user agent. From the search API wiki: Applications must have a meaningful and unique User Agent when using this method. A HTTP Referrer is expected but not required. Search traffic that does not include a User Agent will be rate limited to fewer API calls per hour than applications including a User Agent string. Try using curl instead of file_get_contents to set a meaningful user agent On Oct 25, 2009, at 10:20 AM, TrixJo tri...@gmail.com wrote: I have used the ampersand which is displayed in my code here: http://pastebin.com/m51f7a9dd are there any other takers who can give me advice on why I get the errors: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!

[twitter-dev] OAuth in popup, does not work when auto close
Hi, I authenticate with twitter oauth using a popup from my site. When the authentication is done, twitter redirects the user to my site again. The user then has my site both in the original browser window, and in the popup. I want to close the popup automatically, so the user don't have to. I do this with the following: ?php if (strlen($_GET['oauth_token']) 0) { echo scriptself.close ()/script; } ? The problem is that when using the above code, the authentication don't seem to work. When trying to tweet I get this: /statuses/update.xml Could not authenticate you. When I don't use the above code, and thereby force the user to close the popup manually if he don't want it open, everything works fine. Can someone explain this to me, and help with how I can auto close the popup without messing with the authentication? Thanks

[twitter-dev] Re: Check when a friendship was created
And I thank that is a reasonable expectation. Just make sure you're not unfollowing hundreds of people per day or something so it doesn't raise Twitter red flag. Instead maintain a list of inactive followers and slowing remove them and/or temporarily block them. Even looking at my personal Twitter account, only connected with a few hundred, I too want to stop following folks that are active OR at least have them NOT count against my following limit. Makes no sense to do so. And it would be great to detect these folks.
