[twitter-dev] Cursor Not Being Returned When It Should
Hey everyone, im trying to figure out why cursors are not being returned... I am making a call to http://twitter.com/statuses/friends.xml?cursor=-1 to get my first page of friends through OAuth and simpleXML in PHP5. Everything is fine and the next_cursor shows up in my browser, but when I try to extract it or even var dump the xml the tag does not even show up. Heres how im getting it: $users = $oauth-oAuthRequest( http://twitter.com/statuses/friends.xml?cursor=$page;, // Where $page is -1 in this case... array(), GET ); $xml = simplexml_load_string($users); print_r($xml); //$next_page = $xml-next_cursor; I get only data located under the users array, any ideas?

[twitter-dev] Re: Posting non-English Characters using OAuth
Hi Mageuzi, can you please shed more light what you exactly did? I am trying to post non-ascii status through api and it shows incorrect signature. ascii characters are posted successfully. On Sep 20, 1:55 am, Mageuzi mage...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks for the response, Brian :) After a bit more debugging and research, I found the problem. In hindsight it's obvious, but I was putting too much faith into how the characters were being encoded. That %65E5%672C%72AC was completely incorrect, and instead the individual bytes needed to be encoded and sent to twitter. Once I changed the oAuth code to do that, it's working flawlessly. Thanks again for your response!

It seems to be encoding the characters properly (%65E5%672C %72AC in this case), and so I assume it is generating the signature properly. After all, it works perfectly fine with English characters. So any guidance would be much appreciated, I'm running out of things to check. Thank you again in advance. It probably isn't generating the signature properly. Try using a different library to post the same message and likely you will find that they are calculating the signature differently. Calculating bad signatures for non-ASCII characters is probably the most common bug in OAuth libraries, because the authors often test with ASCII characters but not non-ASCII characters. If the library you are using has a mechanism for you to get the signature base string, use that mechanism to retrieve it and post it here. Also, try using a different OAuth library. がんばってください! - Brian

The Twitter Dev/API list is the one list that there is a very often posted thread of this nature. I call it the Twitter Think Tank BandWagon™ :) Twitter hits the news, the news reports that application x, y, and z are all getting millions of users, millions of users translates to some form of money, popularity, or general enticement. And off to the races we are. However, programming is no different than any other industry. And this reply goes out to North Carolina developer and well as any other Developer that makes his way here. Reporters work hard to become reporters, veterinarians work hard to become vets, and programmers work hard to become programmers. Starting your own business is the American Dream. They are all hard work. Sure there are some overnight success stories, but those people all had past experience in a development field. If you want to get in on any form of new development, you would do yourself good to think about it as any other idea you have ever had. If you were sitting at home, and decided you were going to start a new company, say, one that makes drills for the construction business. Most logical people would start looking at other drills, taking them apart, calling motor manufacturers, researching all aspect of drills and the parts that make them up. If after all that, you still think you have an edge, you may be able to move forward. Development, be it Twitter or any other computer programming related field, is no different. It very well may be harder. Quite frankly, the lack of respect some developers get compared to other fields is a little disconcerting. It takes many years to become proficient in any programming language. That does not include the ramp up time to learn the basics of what ssh, ftp, sftp, tcp/ip ack/ syn, post, get, json, rest, ajax, html, css, oop, precedural, I could go on. There is just so much to learn, and so many parts, I would say it is one of the harder things to embark on. Add into all this, as a startup, not only are you learning the technical sides of things, but you are also learning how to run a business, marketing, etc, and each of those sub aspects of your end goal, has just as large a laundry list of acronyms to define it as well.

In all honestly, every passionate developer is a rocket scientist in their own special way. At the very least, they are a scientist. To specifically answer the original posters questions: 1) If you are looking at a free host, you need to start your research learning and understanding about hardware and software in general. You need to learn that the backbone of your entire business is going to sit on a server, or servers somewhere. Do not run your business on free, it is not possible. Learn why this is not possible. 2) How do you display feeds? Start learning about RSS and any push/ pull driven protocol. In the end, it is all just a stream of data, you read it in, and parse it, and display it how you want. It will be up to you to determine the logic of how you do that. There are at least 20 variables I could ask, such as, how many feeds, when do you want them to expire, what if they contain profanity, do you want links on the feeds, etc, the list goes on. These are decisions you need to make, and then learn how to programatically implement them. 3) If you have been through 20+ tutorials, and still are not getting it, then you are looking at twitter tutorials, and you should be looking at ftp, php, perl, apache, server, and other more general tutorials. Can you build a rock, paper scissors game in php that runs in a web browser? Until you can take any idea you have and write pseudo code as to how you would deploy it, asking on the Twitter list for specifics is too far outside the scope of what you currently understand. 4) Curl I would lump into #3, it is just a tool, that can be used within any language, to do some work, what you do with the data it returns, comes back to general programming logic and understanding. 5) In regards to how to interact with the API.

(http://help.twitter.com/forums/10713/entries/42646) From looking at several people I follow, about 50% of people are not being indexed at all. Actually, tweets were never indexed at all. Many of the other Japanese developers have also noticed these issues. I have tried using the locale option for the search API, but it didn't help much. Secondly, the operator to execute an exact phrase search (documented athttp://search.twitter.com/operators) does not work for Japanese query. I'm not sure if it's supposed to work with the API though. This issue is annoying, because search results returned from a query containing Japanese characters seems to return very fuzzy results. I get very irrelevant results, and even find it difficult to figure out why it even matched at all.

[twitter-dev] Re: lang parameter in the search api
There are ways to figure out language with very short text. In fact, one can identify language changes in documents that contain text in multiple languages. http://www.stanford.edu/class/ee380/Abstracts/090114.html That's not to say that Twitter uses such methods, just that it's possible to identify languages in tweet-size documents. On Oct 26, 6:19 am, Nicole Simon nee...@gmail.com wrote: The language selection is useless, even with a limitation to English. The problem is probably that normal methods of attributing language are more or less based on longer text - and not text stripped down to 140 chars or less. If you want to make detection f.e. in search, rather get all results and apply common sense methods, like grep special words which most likely are only used in your language of choice. For real 'select your choice here' it is not going to work. At the current rate, this is rather hurting than helping. I instruct users in my book to rather use search which will limit itself, i.e. use German words if possible in search.

So you're using Sign In With Twitter. Are you sure you're going to the right URL? That is, are you going to /oauth/authorize or /oauth/authenticate? IIRC, if you use the latter, they should only be prompted once. If you use the former, they'll be prompted every time.

The cursor stuff is still somewhat new. Just because it's on the wiki doesn't mean it was provided by Twitter (it's not). It may not have been updated to handle cursors.

[twitter-dev] Re: No Cursor Data Returned
Are you sure that's where the cursor=-1 is supposed to go? Isn't the array meant to contain all the options you want to pass? Perhaps your library is cleaning up your URL to make sure it has no request parameters and only passing the parameters in the array that you're passing as a 2nd parameter to your oAuthRequest function.

[twitter-dev] Suggestion: Ability to just search amongst a user's friends
I have a project in which it would be tremendously easier if I could just specify a search to take place amongst a particular user's Twitter friends, instead of across the entire site.

These trouble me because when I get a 200 after the 403 sometimes I get everything back to my since_id, sometimes I don't. I appears some indexes have gaps until they catch up. QUESTION: Are there any ongoing search indexing issues that you are aware of? 2) Since late last week I've noticed that some search API requests appear to get stuck returning an empty json result (no new tweets). This can go on for HOURS (today one got stuck like this for 12 hours). When I restart my process sometimes this clears up (I get the backlog) - other times it does not (I continue to get 0 tweets in the json). All of the requests return HTTP 200 and valid json. QUESTION: Are they any ongoing caching issues with the search API? These issues are new in the last 7 days (since about last Thursday). My IP is whitelisted. I'm sending both a valid user agent and referrer header. My processes are throttled by the volume of tweets the receive. I've made no changes to my processing since late

This is something that we're considering internally.

[twitter-dev] Re: Suggestion: Ability to just search amongst a user's friends
On a related point as a Twitter user with far more than 3200 tweets any chance that the following two features might also be considered: 1. Search your OWN tweets? (ideally all not just the most recent 3200 - both DM's tweets - possibly including DM's recieved as well as sent) 2. Retrieve, perhaps download, all of your own tweets in a standard, structured format ideally including the URL's for each tweet. And a third thought any possibility of adding an info feature to show backlinks? (akin to how bit.ly does this) both for a Twitter profile and for individual tweets? Perhaps also for search urls?

[twitter-dev] To find out ids directly that both in (follower/ids) and ( friends/ids ) ?
Hi all. I had a question, take a example for show what i want: if someone's Followers/ids = A,B,C,D,E,G Friends/ids = D,F,G are there a API that can get result Xxxx/ids= D,G directly? Its easy to call two apis and calculate by myself when two list are small. but it become inconvenient when one list is huge,(such as 7000 ids + 10 ids ) thanks. Andrew
[twitter-dev] Twitter app that redirects to a download after tweeting
I'm trying to put together a Twitter app for a band that will have you sign in, add a tweet (a preset tweet about getting a band's free EP), and then take you to a page where you can download a free EP. I've never worked with creating a Twitter app before. Can anyone help or give advice?

[twitter-dev] Invalid Signature when manipulating URL directly
Hello all. I just recently started using the twitter API and oAuth for a site I am working on. After wrapping my head around oAuth things seemed to be going well. Out of the 12 components of the library i am using, 8 worked right off the bat. Unfortunately, methods where I change the URL, then post to it seem to be breaking, resulting an invalid signature response. I am able to successfully post a new status, get timelines and grab direct messages, so I am fairly confident that my oAuth lib is working my URL is constructed as follows (replaced the '' with new lines for readiblity): [POST-ing] http://www.twitter.com/statuses/destroy/5206890175.xml? oauth_consumer_key=Y6AmNZPU23AOQLwCSmevQ oauth_nonce=ret3uSMFONY oauth_signature=QBzS8c51wJE6KuHG8XjlmrzL2Ko%3D oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1 oauth_timestamp=1256668802 oauth_token=83934696-9mlDot0sC1YbL2907BopkexMJwAFR8WdZojMJCmC1 oauth_version=1.0 This results in the aforementioned error. Am I suppose to use a different URL when I encode it? I appreciate the assistance, this is my first time working with oAuth, and I am a still a bit fuzy.
[twitter-dev] Basic Authentication
I'm trying to make a blackberry app that gets your friends timeline.
However I keep getting the 401 unauthorized error on any attempt I
make. I am using the same code as the open source BBTweet so I don't
understand why this doesn't work for me. The username and password are
correct. If I copy and paste them into the twitter login page it works
fine. Do I need to sign up somewhere to get this to work?
AuhenticationHash is not null either I tried printing it out.
ENCODING:
byte[] toEncode = (username:password).getBytes();
ByteArrayOutputStream newHash = new ByteArrayOutputStream
(toEncode.length);
Base64OutputStream base64OutputStream = new Base64OutputStream
(newHash);
try {
base64OutputStream.write(toEncode, 0, toEncode.length);
base64OutputStream.flush();
base64OutputStream.close();
}
catch (Exception ioe) {
}
authenticationHash = newHash.toString();
GET:
StreamConnection s = (StreamConnection)Connector.open(http://
twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.xml, Connector.READ_WRITE,
true);
sendConn = (HttpConnection)s;
sendConn.setRequestProperty
(HttpProtocolConstants.HEADER_AUTHORIZATION,Basic +
authenticationHash);
sendConn.setRequestMethod(GET);

[twitter-dev] Any update on the List API?
Hi I was wondering what the status of the List API was? Is the API going to publicized any time soon, as I'm looking forward to implementing it into @tweetarium. Cheers, Matthew Ford @matthewcford
