BY ME: http://twitter.com/statuses/retweeted_by_me.xml?count=200 works
just fine.

TO ME: /statuses/retweeted_to_me.xml?count=10 works fine.

i didn't get this. When you set browser auth, there is no pin to retrieve
(if i am not wrong) and i am assuming you are retrieving access
tokens/secrets directly.So after redirecting to your own server how exactly
are you going to retrieve the values for that Particular client? Can you
elaborate?

 You can do exactly that already.  Set it to browser auth, redirect it
 to your own webserver and get your webserver to redirect to your own
 url scheme, forwarding on the callback token.

 Trust me, it will work just fine!

[twitter-dev] Re: Question about versioning

2009-11-06 Thread Marcel Molina

We do not have plans to support minor versions initially. We're going
to start with the simplest versioning scheme possible and then expand
it to include minor versions when the need arises.

So as of right now version 1 already exists, at
http://api.twitter.com/1. As for whether it should be considered
stable, I'd say it's very close to being so. I've been using it
exclusively on my Twitter clients for several months. Since announcing
it publicly a couple weeks ago the only reports of irregularities have
been around server configuration (e.g. some requests over ssl getting
an untrusted cert error and requests for gzipped responses not being
configured correctly). As for the behavior of the API it should be
100% compatible with the non versioned twitter.com API.

 Hi all,
 I'd like to sync the version numbers and release cycles of a few twitter
 libraries (python-twitter and java-twitter) up with the version of the
 Twitter API itself.  I'll admit that I've fallen way behind on
 the maintenance of each, partly because the Twitter API itself is a moving
 target (not a bad thing, just hard to keep in sync with).
 What's the expected timing of when we can rely on a stable versioned
 endpoint for v1, v2, etc, and bleeding-edge API versions?  In theory we'd do
 parallel releases on major/minor releases, and keep a dev branch open for
 the latest-and-greatest-and-beta-est version of the Twitter API.

[twitter-dev] Re: PHP Libraries for OAuth

2009-11-06 Thread jmathai

I pushed the 2.0 version of the library to Github and it includes
quite a few changes.

Docs:
http://wiki.github.com/jmathai/twitter-async

Release Notes:
http://wiki.github.com/jmathai/twitter-async/twitter-async-20-release-notes
# Added a new (preferred) API
You can now use get, post, delete, get_basic, post_basic and
delete_basic. Details here
# No longer asynchronous by default
Most people were using it synchronously and didn’t understand why you
had to access a response parameter to ensure the call completed.
useAsynchronous(true) should be used if you want to use it that way or
hard code the default value in _EpiTwitter.php)
# Revamped the exceptions
Details on the new exception hierarchy
# Added support for versioned URLs
# Fixed lots and lots of bugs
# Exposed response headers

 I think it will benefit all users of the library to document the
 method names for every call.  While it's somewhat trivial to determine
 the method names it still required just an ounce of brain power.  That
 ounce should be save for other tasks :).

 It's been on my todo list to document them all, but I've been lazy :)

The new 2.0 version provides an alternative API to the __call
method :).

When you use browser oAuth it redirects to your browser with the
parameter oauth_token.  Simply redirect that back to your own app
including that parameter and get your app to read it.
