[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter API call to statuses/followers.json / xml - protected users out of sync.
Hi, I am experiencing exactly the same behavior and described the problem for the statuses/friends call at http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/c63e3288e76ed581 and in issue http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issu/detail?id=1121. Other calls to retrieve a status like statuses/friends_timeline or users/show do not have this problem and include new tweets of protected friends right away in the response. Unfortunately they are not useful for the use case of my application. Therefore, I am also very interested in a fix of this problem. Thanks and best regards, Frank
[twitter-dev] Re: Quick question re ReTweets
From the way I've seen it work, if the orginal tweet is already in your home_timeline you will not see any retweets of it, including yours. However if you retweet a message not in your home_timeline then it will appear. I'm not sure if that IS how it works, just what I've observed. On Dec 2, 11:30 pm, Michael Steuer mste...@gmail.com wrote: So when a user is looking at his own home_timeline, and decides to retweet a status from someone else the next time that home_timeline is loaded, will it show both statuses (the original tweet and the retweet by the user), or one or the other? My understanding is that the new retweet functionality is supposed to ensure that a status only shows up once, I¹m just not sure how this is reflected in what the home_timeline API returns... Thanks for letting me know! Michael.

[twitter-dev] After a re-retweet, I don't get an error, I successfully retweeted some random Turkish guy instead.
Hi, In my Twitter client, I successfully retweeted a few tweets from various people using various accounts, but when I try to retweet a tweet I already retweeted before, I get an OK response telling me I retweeted this tweet: https://twitter.com/BelkideGeymovir/status/4986322791 The response says my user screen_name is erdemyildirimer (which is wrong). (always this one, with several essays) I should get either an error message or a response telling me I did retweet the actual status… Did anybody here received a more useful response from retweet API?

Re: [twitter-dev] Hashtag widget
Ben, You should use the filter resource on the streaming api to receive this information. Either use the follow parameter to select a list of users or use the track parameter to select the hashtag, and then perform the secondary processing on your end. The upside of follow is there is no rate limiting, but you have to manage your list of users. So, your trade is between user cardinality and hashtag proportionality. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Services, Twitter Inc.

[twitter-dev] Re: want to get a frequency count of all words on twitter, 1 time/day
John, The reason for viewing an aggregate count rather than individual methods is to have a much more sensitive way of detecting a new topic. Sampling will only give us a good representative sample above the threshhold, once it's already quite popular. We'd like to be able to follow a topic from the start, even if it never makes it big, based on other criteria. Rather than a trends feed, I suggest a statistics feed would be more general. Consider something like: http://search.twitter.com/stats/daily.json?target=foo bar xj17 which would give back the daily statistics on the frequency of each token. Then, we could follow up on individual ones of interest with a bigram request. With an api based on post, we could possibly send a large number of such requests in one batch. http://search.twitter.com/stats/bigram.json?target=foo bar xj17 (search for all messages containing any two of the listed targets) I don't know how you organize your data, but obviously, since you allow search by token, you have the infrastructure to make this easy to do.

Thanks, Ryan On Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 9:12 AM, DeWitt Clinton dclin...@gmail.com wrote: 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

[twitter-dev] Hash parser extension for #microsyntax
Am interested in seeing the HashTag parser extend it's rules. Right now, a #wt=150 breaks at the =, where it would be ideal to be able to see the whole thing as a hash. This could be used numerous ways to group locations, topics, and microsyntax that has variables. Any thoughts on if this is a good/bad extension, or why it parses like this today?
[twitter-dev] Basic Auth : Could not authenticate you strange issue
I am experiencing an issue with our app, that uses Basic Auth, where periodically it can not authenticate the user when trying to perform any API calls for fucntions that require authentication. My code has been working for several months and now this seemed to start happening mid to late November. It is really weird because it works half the time and the then can not authenticate the other half. It is not a rate limitation as I have already checked that to make sure. Has anybody else had this issue occur? Is there some other type of limitation that I am not possibly aware of that would send back the Could Not Authenticate you error even when we are sending the correct login and password? Any help would be appreciated.

At Flaptor we use a CharField(max_length=20) which is big enough and seems reasonable since it is usually obtained from and used in urls.

[twitter-dev] Getting retweets in user timelines
According to the API documentation retweets do not appear in a user's timeline when requested via the statuses/user_timeline method. It seems as though through the API it's not possible to see what a particular individual is retweeting. Is this assertion correct, and if so, is there a plan to make such functionality available? Also, it would be awesome if we could get through the API that a status has been retweeted when making requests to a user's timeline. This would avoid the overhead of going through each tweet and making a statuses/retweets call. Thank you, Brendan

[twitter-dev] Re: Max tweet ID? Planning which datatype to use
Thanks guys, I think I will go for the Big Integer .. 2^64 (unsigned) should be plenty - unless tweet ID's can suddenly be negative (which 2^63 is still a lot). http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/numeric-type-overview.html Main reason that it's nice to be able to say give me the largest tweet ID for this person, which would be cumbersome if it was stored as a string.

You are mistaken. Provided you have appropriate support from your language or its libraries, accomplishing this is trivial.

Our app stores the twitter username and password in a database (switching to OAUTH soon) so it can then do specific scheduled task, such as taking an RSS feed and making them into Tweets, do specific searches, check for new followers, etc..

[twitter-dev] Streaming API : Shadow white listing
Hello, Several weeks ago (approximately 5) we (Cliqset) submitted a request to increase our 'shadow' user limit to 10,000 from the default of 400. We haven't heard back. In our desperation to migrate to streaming without violating Twitter ToS or trigger rate limiting, we recently attempted to shard across multiple Twitter user accounts and subsequently streaming connections. This resulted in TCP level resets to the streaming API. Not fun. That said; we currently have several thousand users which we'd like to transition to streaming from polling but feel like we've run out of options. Can anyone assist us or provide any sort of guidance in getting things moving? Thank you. Darren Cliqset, Inc.
[twitter-dev] Re: Search API: new HTTP response codes for rate limiting starting 12/16
Given that 400 is bad request, and the client SHOULD NOT repeat the request without modifications (w3.org's emphasis), and 503 means service unavailable, try again later, and can include a retry-after header, would it not have made more sense to change the response code of the REST API to the more correct one? On Dec 3, 10:41 pm, Wilhelm Bierbaum wilh...@twitter.com wrote: In an effort to simplify our APIs, we are standardizing the response codes returned by our various systems. Historically, the Search API has returned 503 for rate limiting whereas the REST API has returned 400. So, we are changing the response codes sent back from the Search API. Starting Wednesday, December 16th, 2009 the search API will respond with error code 400 in the event that the number of requests you have made exceeds the quota afforded by your rate limit. Please update your response handler accordingly. If you have any questions, please feel free to post them on twitter- development-talk.

[twitter-dev] Re: Rate Limit Whitelisting Change
Hi Michael, Thanks you for your response. The error does not specify the reason (see below), but it does show when 'get status' method is being executed for an user ID that is has not been whitelisted; we cannot possibly whitelist all application users. ERROR: Rate limit exceeded. Clients may not make more than 150 requests per hour. We whitelisted our IP address; the response from Twitter stated that our IP address and twitter @user_id (that we used to submit the form) has been whitelisted (we did not ask for @user_id to be whitelisted, but Twitter whitelisted it anyway). The application is using user standard methods (get a status, update a status, get user screen name, etc.) for various users who use the application, but the initial login within the application code is done with the whitelisted user id. What's the common way of doing this task? In other words, how would somebody like HootSuite would approach this? They are getting thousands of status, screen name, etc. per minute it seems. I think we are missing something obvious.
