Can I ask why is the status and @twitterapi not updated informing us
rather than waiting for us to get a stream of complaints?

Hi Raffi,

I am not seeing the geo data for this query:

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter API call to statuses/followers.json / xml - protected users out of sync.

2009-12-03 Thread Frank Mertz
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

2009-12-03 Thread Rich
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!

 You're imagining that this is being handled in a more complex (more

 complete words only, with no special-case handling for @usernames.
 w...@yegle doesn't match @yegle for the same reason it doesn't match

2009-12-03 Thread Kevin
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

2009-12-03 Thread John Kalucki
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.

[twitter-dev] Re: statuses/followers incorrectly ordered

2009-12-03 Thread Naveen
This unorderedness is confusing to users.. They see their number of
followers increase, then when they open their list of followers, the
same set of people are always shown.. They are expecting to see their
newest followers at the top of the list like they do on the twitter
website.

Its not even possible to to order this list ourselves, as the
followed date is not available in the response. Though that would be
a very expensive operation to do on a mobile device for people with
thousands of followers.

[twitter-dev] Re: want to get a frequency count of all words on twitter, 1 time/day

2009-12-03 Thread hydrodog
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.

 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

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

[twitter-dev] Getting retweets in user timelines

2009-12-03 Thread Brendan
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,

 You are mistaken.  Provided you have appropriate support from your
 language or its libraries, accomplishing this is trivial.  Using Perl
 and Regexp::Assemble, FishTwits is currently tracking 1,358 words/
 phrases and, for each tweet, building a list of which words/phrases
 appear in that tweet.  It's very doable (quick, even), despite having
 far more than 10 keywords involved.

[twitter-dev] oneforty e-commerce pilot

2009-12-03 Thread Mike Champion
The oneforty team has been hard at work to build a simple way for
Twitter developers
to sell versions of their apps, and a smooth process for customers to
purchase them. We're interested to talk to any developers who would be
curious to learn more our pilot program.

Developers in the pilot group will have the opportunity to be the
first to kick the tires on our new e-commerce engine and will have
significant input into the initial phase of our e-commerce product
launch. We're looking for partners who have the ability to be actively
involved in the pilot from now until the end of the year and have a
product at or near completion that they wish to sell on a one-time
license key or one-time download basis.

If you’re interested in working with us to sell your Twitter app, just
drop me a note at m...@oneforty.com

Thanks,

-mike

Re: [twitter-dev] Getting retweets in user timelines

2009-12-03 Thread Michael Steuer
 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.

Is the statuses/retweet API broken???

[twitter-dev] Re: Basic Auth : Could not authenticate you strange issue

2009-12-03 Thread jaybenoit
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.. Also when you log into our
app it shows you your home_timeline and has the ability to for your
mentions. It takes the stored username and password and sends the
information via CURL to the twitter API. So times they are
authenticated and some times they are not.

Everything was working perfectly fine until a few weeks ago.

[twitter-dev] Streaming API : Shadow white listing

2009-12-03 Thread Darren Bounds (Cliqset)
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

2009-12-03 Thread mat
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-

[twitter-dev] Re: Rate Limit Whitelisting Change

2009-12-03 Thread Stas
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.
Thank you,
-Stas
