[twitter-dev] Overall flow in writing an app with a Tweet this capability
Hi all I'm writing an app that will give the user a way to tweet results via OAuth. I think I understand the steps involved but I'd like to be sure. Here's a summary of what I plan to do. A first thing to know is that I plan to use a cookie to know whether a user has previously used our app. - If a user's browser send our cookie, we'll use it to look up the user's Access Token and screename, we display their screenname and we know how to tweet on their behalf. It seems that long-term storage of Access Tokens is encouraged, although they're obviously something to be careful with. Using a cookie to indicate that you've used our site before leaves open the possibility for mischief if a user's cookies are compromised in some way. Are there better ways to do this? - If the browser doesn't send a cookie, we display a sign in with Twitter icon http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Sign-in-with-Twitter which when clicked initiates the OAuth dance, resulting in us having an Access Token. We use that (and our Consumer info) to call account/verify_credentials and from the result of that we can extract the user's screenname. We push a cookie back to the browser for use next time. As I read it, using OAuth does *not* in general result in the Consumer getting to know the user's name on the Service Provider. Is that correct? Some apps may not need to know it (e.g., you can let the user try to navigate to a protected resource and you just send the right headers and you're in), but in this case we'd like to know it - perhaps just to display the user's screenname, or to pass a screenname or id to a method that doesn't require auth but which does require a user name. Can someone confirm that the above sequence of events is sensible? BTW, I'm not looking for explanation of OAuth itself, I'm pretty sure I understand what's required there, and there are plenty of code samples around. Terry

[twitter-dev] Question about licensing
Hi all, I recently received a request to implement the retweet api calls in the python-twitter and java-twitter libraries, but before I proceed I was hoping for a bit of clarification around the licensing terms for the Twitter API. My layman's understanding is that without explicit terms there are relatively few rights offered by default regarding a specification. In particular, I have a few questions about copyright, trademark, and patents rights being offered to implementors of the Twitter API. My longstanding sense is that Twitter has indicated the spirit of offering the API under generally permissive usage rights, so hopefully this thread can move the discussion forward a bit and perhaps turn that spirit into something more formal. *Copyright* **Question: Under what terms may third-party library and application developers use the text and images associated with the Twitter API specification? Example use case: Third-party library developers would like to copy and/or modify the text of the Twitter API specification in the library's documentation. This is preferred over inventing new text for the documentation, the meaning of which could deviate from the canonical version in the Twitter API specification. Potential concern: Without a copyright license, implementors may not be permitted to use or reuse the Twitter API specification text in third-party library documentation. Current state: While the Twitter API specification itself doesn't mention copyright, the Twitter Terms of Service (http://twitter.com/tos) state: The Services are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws of both the United States and foreign countries, which could reasonably be interpreted to apply to the Twitter API service as well. Possible desired outcome: The Twitter API specification is made available under a permissive and derivative works-friendly copyright license, such as the Creative Commons BY or BY-SA license. *Trademark* Question: Under what terms may third-party library and application developers use the various registered service marks of Twitter, Inc? Example use case: Third-party library authors would like to use the words twitter, tweet, retweet (all live service marks of Twitter, Inc) in their libraries. This is preferred over third-party library authors inventing new terms for API methods such as retweet. Potential concern: Without terms that specify where and how the various registered marks can be used, third-party library implementors may or may not be permitted to use terms such as twitter, tweet, retweet, etc., in their libraries. Current state: The Twitter Terms of Service (http://twitter.com/tos) appear to prohibit such use: Nothing in the Terms gives you a right to use the Twitter name or any of the Twitter trademarks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand features. Possible desired outcome: Twitter publishes acceptable-use guidelines for registered marks in third-party libraries and third-party applications. *Patent* Question: Under what terms may third-party library and application developers make use of current or future patent claims made by Twitter, Inc? Example use cases: A third-party developer may wish to implement an independent service that conforms to the Twitter API method signatures, or a third-party developer may wish to implement a library that implements portions of the Twitter API on the client. Potential concern: Without terms that specify how third-party developers may use patent claims (if any) made by Twitter, Inc, implementors assume the risk of potentially infringing on current or future claims made by Twitter. Current state: Twitter (to my knowledge) has made no statement regarding patent claims with respect to implementations of the Twitter API. Possible desired outcome: The Twitter API specification is made available under a patent agreement, such as the Open Web Foundation Agreement ( http://openwebfoundation.org/legal/), or a similarly permissive agreement, such as the Microsoft Open Specification Promise ( http://www.microsoft.com/Interop/osp/) or a Google-style patent license ( http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/patent-license.html). ... I realize that these are meaty (and potentially legally sensitive) questions of course, and likely ones that are not easily answered in a public forum. However, any feedback from the team would certainly be appreciated. The fact that people are even thinking about these types of questions is a good thing, both for open specification development in general, but also because it shows how successful and important the Twitter API is today. So again, continued success with the API, and I look forward to hearing more from the team. -DeWitt

[twitter-dev] Track Limiting
We currently track about 300 keywords using the track streaming API. We have been granted 1st level elevated access but was wondering if there is a total limit to the results we get. I'll try to explain this: We are tracking words like, Twitter, Twilight,Coke etc. We also recently added the word Friday so that we can track Black Friday results and noticed that we should be getting a lot more results. Is there a maximum limit that is returned for all keywords or are specific keywords limited? I hope that makes sense. Thanks. Andres

Gardenhose is a access level for the /1/statuses/sample resource. If you are sampling, you are rather unlikely to ever see a given user's status, even one as prolific as @guykawasaki. [Snark redacted -- Ed.] Please detail how you are connecting to the Streaming API and what you expect in return. Perhaps we can clear up a misunderstanding. Also, if you are looking for statuses from specific users, you may be better off with /1/statuses/filter and the follow parameter or also the track parameter to gather mentions. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Services, Twitter Inc.

Thanks, I'll look into that but I doubt that's the issue, this started happening when they started storing the images in a different location, and it hasn't worked since.

[twitter-dev] Re: Track Limiting
Andres, All track results are currently rate limited in the Streaming API. Each level of access gives more keywords and also a larger proportion of the total stream. To help you manage this, we sent a limit notice after each limited period expires. If you count the statuses received and also examine the limit notice, you can determine the amount that you are over-requesting. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Services, Twitter Inc.

We have been granted 1st level elevated access but was wondering if there is a total limit to the results we get. I'll try to explain this: We are tracking words like, Twitter, Twilight,Coke etc. We also recently added the word Friday so that we can track Black Friday results and noticed that we should be getting a lot more results. Is there a maximum limit that is returned for all keywords or are specific keywords limited? I hope that makes sense. Thanks. Andres

DeWitt, Thanks for the email. These are all great questions and I want to make sure I get all the appropriate answers for you and other people on the thread so it's clear and transparent.

In particular, I have a few questions about copyright, trademark, and patents rights being offered to implementors of the Twitter API. My longstanding sense is that Twitter has indicated the spirit of offering the API under generally permissive usage rights, so hopefully this thread can move the discussion forward a bit and perhaps turn that spirit into something more formal.

Example use case: Third-party library developers would like to copy and/or modify the text of the Twitter API specification in the library's documentation.

Current state: The Twitter Terms of Service (http://twitter.com/tos) appear to prohibit such use: Nothing in the Terms gives you a right to use the Twitter name or any of the Twitter trademarks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand features. Possible desired outcome: Twitter publishes acceptable-use guidelines for registered marks in third-party libraries and third-party applications. Patent Question: Under what terms may third-party library and application developers make use of current or future patent claims made by Twitter, Inc?

Re: [twitter-dev] oauth Process flow and status Part 1
The signature has to go last. That's one mistake that most people make. You are suppose to put the parameters in order EXCEPT the signature parameter. The signature parameter is created by using the other parameters, then it's appended to the end of the query string. The OAuth signature is generated. I made a blog post where I tried to explain it a little better than the documentation does. It's for .Net for the desktop, but the process is the same for any language, and only slightly different for web applications. http://eclipsed4utoo.com/blog/net-twitter-desktop-oauth-authentication/ On Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 3:12 PM, abruton andrebru...@gmail.com wrote: Hi All I am trying to get my head around the Twitter oauth flow.

[twitter-dev] 401 Unauthorized
I having this error for a while and is happening only on my machine, I deploy the same project in another similar VM and it worked, so I am starting to think that there might be something related to my environment that is causing the 401 Unauthorized issue. I have a Mac with OS 10.5.6 and a VM running on Paralles, the VM is Fedora Core running ruby 1.8.6 (2007-06-07 patchlevel 36) [i386-linux], i am using twitter (0.7.5) and oauth (0.3.6) and when I run this code: oauth = Twitter::OAuth.new('consumer_key', 'consumer_secret') atokens = oauth.request_token(:oauth_callback = callback) I always get a 401 Unauthorized, apparently a couples of weeks ago there was a general issue with twitter API and was getting the same error from a completely different environment (PC) but now the general issue seems to be solved my PC is able to run the code but my VM still giving me the 401, any clue on how could I do further tests? BTW: I have already ask on the Twitter gem Google Group, waiting for answer. Just wanted to see if you could give me a clue Thanks,

Does anyone know what is the problem?? and this is my request: *Request URL: http://api.twitter.com/1/wilfred_yau/yedsrc/members.xml *Request header: Host: api.twitter.com User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv: 1.9.2b3) Gecko/20091115 Firefox/3.6b3 GTB6 Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/ *;q=0.8 Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive: 115 Connection: keep-alive Cookie: __utma=43838368.448377351.1258538849.1259115844.1259117264.22; __utmz=43838368.1258703218.9.4.utmcsr=google|utmccn=(organic)| utmcmd=organic|utmctr=gmasbaby; __utmv=43838368.lang%3A%20en; __qca=P0-1731751766-1258598366235; __utmb=43838368.8.10.1259117264; _twitter_sess=BAh7DDoTcGFzc3dvcmRfdG9rZW4iLWYxZDlkMzA5OWExZTMxMDIzZTlmMGJj %250AOWM1YzllYzAyYTVjOWU2NGM6DGNzcmZfaWQiJTU4MTVlMjgzNWUyNGNhYThh %250ANjE1YzdjOWU4MTE5MGJjOhF0cmFuc19wcm9tcHQwOgl1c2VyaQQ5oOgDOg5y %250AZXR1cm5fdG8iJGh0dHA6Ly90d2l0dGVyLmNvbS9zb2Z0cGVkaWFtYWM6B2lk %250AIiU0Y2JmMWJmNjc0YzJmOTlhZGZjMTA1MzE3NzI3ZGUwNiIKZmxhc2hJQzon %250AQWN0aW9uQ29udHJvbGxlcjo6Rmxhc2g6OkZsYXNoSGFzaHsABjoKQHVzZWR7%250AAA %253D%253D--3573176707558a7f9cd9653e6a60c073c94e91f5; __utmc=43838368 *Post Data: Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-length: 300 oauth%5Fconsumer%5Fkey=WiW3RrjmAhPvWvTn6oPLAid=66626470oauth %5Ftoken=65577017%2DK65DjHAcUbYOEJW5XMVnVuAkRy8fDnNnVGRZDOSAQoauth %5Ftimestamp=1259118273oauth%5Fsignature=zaA0CbWpls3lowiWG0yHCZig%2B2M %3Doauth%5Fversion=1%2E0oauth%5Fsignature%5Fmethod=HMAC%2DSHA1 %5Fmethod=DELETEoauth%5Fnonce=2875 Also, I got same problem in set status using OAuth : *Request URL: http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml *Request header: Host: twitter.com User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv: 1.9.2b3) Gecko/20091115 Firefox/3.6b3 GTB6 Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/ *;q=0.8 Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive: 115 Connection: keep-alive Cookie: __utma=43838368.448377351.1258538849.1259115844.1259117264.22; __utmz=43838368.1258703218.9.4.utmcsr=google|utmccn=(organic)| utmcmd=organic|utmctr=gmasbaby; __utmv=43838368.lang%3A%20en; __qca=P0-1731751766-1258598366235; __utmb=43838368.8.10.1259117264; _twitter_sess=BAh7DDoTcGFzc3dvcmRfdG9rZW4iLWYxZDlkMzA5OWExZTMxMDIzZTlmMGJj %250AOWM1YzllYzAyYTVjOWU2NGM6DGNzcmZfaWQiJTU4MTVlMjgzNWUyNGNhYThh %250ANjE1YzdjOWU4MTE5MGJjOgl1c2VyaQQ5oOgDOhF0cmFuc19wcm9tcHQwIgpm %250AbGFzaElDOidBY3Rpb25Db250cm9sbGVyOjpGbGFzaDo6Rmxhc2hIYXNoewAG %250AOgpAdXNlZHsAOgdpZCIlNGNiZjFiZjY3NGMyZjk5YWRmYzEwNTMxNzcyN2Rl %250AMDY6DnJldHVybl90byIkaHR0cDovL3R3aXR0ZXIuY29tL3NvZnRwZWRpYW1h %250AYw%253D%253D--dfa30d93e80be97e1404abbb466f2c6191816d69; __utmc=43838368 Authorization: Basic Z21hc2JhYnk6eW95b2JhYnk= *Post Data: Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-length: 303 oauth%5Fnonce=4280oauth%5Fsignature%5Fmethod=HMAC%2DSHA1oauth %5Ftimestamp=1259117789status=%40vincenthpchan%20%28O%3Aoauth %5Fversion=1%2E0oauth%5Fconsumer%5Fkey=WiW3RrjmAhPvWvTn6oPLAoauth %5Fsignature=dZ0OBySJzAZsdhwUKvK9zaIamE4%3Doauth %5Ftoken=65577017%2DK65DjHAcUbYOEJW5XMVnVuAkRy8fDnNnVGRZDOSAQ I wonder it is the problem about oauth_signature, but I don't what wrong with it.
