 The only list you appear to have is my-uber-peeps with id 2074438.

 So, try using a valid user id number and correct the list id to 2074438 and
 see if that works.

Hi everyone,

I looked for a few minutes without finding a ping bot account on twitter.

So here it goes http://twitter.com/pingpongbot using the streaming

[twitter-dev] Rate Limit New API Features

2009-12-08 Thread Nik Fletcher
Hi Twitter API folks,

Over the last few months, there's been some big new features to the
API to match the Twitter.com feature set. Whilst that's awesome for
third-party developers and users alike, the rate limit has remained
the same. Looking back over the documentation, the last increase was
in June of this year, from 100 requests per 60 minute window to 150
requests - long before the lists or retweet features became available.

Whilst I'm *fully* aware that we (as a developer community) can
minimise the number of calls to the API, with new features being added
- and the related query-chaining that may be needed to provide folks
with an experience such as they're used to on the Twitter Web site
with the bells and whistles - are there any plans to increase the rate
limit for applications?

I should just add: this is in no way a whiny post at the rate limiting
that's currently in effect. We're not hearing of Socialite hitting the
rate limit a great deal (as we're deliberately refreshing Lists every
third refresh to preserve API calls) - I'm just posting to see what
the Twitter API team's thoughts are :)

Cheers,

Nik

[twitter-dev] Re: After a re-retweet, I don't get an error, I successfully retweeted some random Turkish guy instead.

2009-12-08 Thread Kevin
Hi,

It's great the problem has been identified and fixed.

However, the API response shows errors instead of the regular
error, and the sentence Share sharing is not permissable for this
status should be permissIble.

Not urgent, but I hope it will be fixed one day :-)

Hi Raffi, thanks for the reply but I'm still unsure of the process.

If I send a tweet with the same text more than once via twitter.com I
get a pop-upm saying to try some other text as I've sent that text
before and the tweet is not created so there is no id.

If I use Tweet# and do the same I get a 200 OK response which suggests
that the tweet was created but it never gets sent to the recipient and
again I have no id.

Can you explain a bit more.

2009-12-08 Thread Stuart Smith
Hi Abraham, so I should keep a list of all of the tweets I send and
check the id of each and every status I send to see if it matches a
previously sent id? That's quite a lot of additional processing.

Does this 'duplicate text' have a time period for which it is invalid?
i.e. how long do I have to wait before sending the same text?

Is this what I have heard called 'recurring tweets'? If so, I read
somewhere that they are going to be allowed to re-occur at some point
soon - is this correct?

Cheers,

2009-12-08 Thread Raffi Krikorian
oh - i apologise, i think i misunderstood your question.

yes - if you send a duplicate tweet while using the twitter.com
website, we put up an error on the web page.  however, if you send a
duplicate tweet through our API, we will silently fail and return a
200 response.

i'm not positive what you are saying when you say If I use Tweet# and
do the same..., but i suspect it falls into the latter of what i
said.

People have made their own suggestions, so I'm not going to mirror 
them.  I would suggest, however, that customer to business communication 
probably would be better conducted on a forum other than twitter (people 
who are trying to describe problems they are having aren't at their most 
succinct and you usually need more information than 140 characters 
provides).  Now business-to-customer maybe, but it would probably be 
better in the form of tweeting the customer a shortlink.

Hi,

I am on a shared web hosting space, but my domain has a dedicated IP

dedicated IP address instead of the shared IP address that the server
has? I have been trying very hard to get a twitter API script running
but I get nothing but blank responses from twitter. This makes me
think that my IP has been blacklisted which makes sense if its seeing
the shared IP address that some spammer used to screw things up for
me. I have submitted my dedicated IP to twitter for whitelisting and
they did approve my request, but nothing has changed. Still a blank
response via cURL in PHP. This is a bit frustrating so any advice you

From what you say this is unlikely to happen.

The reason I am so interested in this particular test is that I had
been working on a twitter bot that allows you to play the orginal
Colossal Cave text adventure and the user would use a lot of tweets
with text like N, S, E, W etc to indicate a direction to move in (I
was unaware of the duplicate text rejection). This would appear to be

 The APIWiki still says:http://twitter.com/favorites/create/id.format,

 Which is it???

[twitter-dev] Re: Track streaming : how to match tweets?

2009-12-08 Thread Julien
Thanks Mark, but as I said, we need to fetch more complex feeds to. So
we'll use the OR with the simple query, and then query the search API
with the complex query to see if a given tweet matches what we need!

 Note that search API whitelisting is different from regular API
 whitelisting, and getting a 20k hour limit there is much more
 restrictive.

 I still haven't seen a case where you couldn't do the matching on your
 side.  As John says, with the streaming API right now you can only
 match simple terms, so the complex terms aren't a factor.  In fact the
 track you posted won't actually function as you intend with the
 streaming API.  You could track for tweets containing starbucks or
 free.  But currently that's it.  starbucks AND free is something
 you'd have to implement on your side.  Same with near.

  Hum... ok... sad, but I have an idea. Please tell me if this is
  stupid.

  So, for each tweet I receive, I know what searches it _may_ match.
  Right?
  So, with all these candidates query, what I can do is perform them
  against the regular search API (as long as they're complex). If the
  result from the polling includes them, then, I know that the searches
  matches and I don't have to build anything on top of what you built.

  Let's take an example :
  -  If I have a search for starbuck AND free near:94123
  - I track starbuck with the streaming API
  - Whenever you guys send me a tweet for this track
  -  I check internally all the queries that may match Starbucks
  - I perform them on your API
  - if the tweet you sent me is in the results, then I know this tweet
  is valid,
  - if not, I discard it.

  My only concern here is the 20k/hour limit. I think this is still
  doable, because
  1) we will only make queries to the search API when we receive
  notifications
  2) we will only make queries to the search API for complex queries
  (IE : AND, +,  or near:

  The pros :
  - whener you guys change/add stuff to your search DSL, I don't have to
  change anything on my side.

  How does that sound?

  Thanks John anyway for your great help!

  This could only make sense if the Streaming API supported search engine
  logic. Currently Streaming only supports keyword matching -- you have to
  post-process to add additional predicate operators beyond OR. You can
  reproduce the keyword match in a few lines of code, and the rest is
  (currently) all up to you anyway. Just remember that a given tweet could
  have triggered multiple predicates.

  Beyond being a low priority feature, rendering and delivering custom
  responses per user would be a performance risk. We currently can support a
  very large number of filter clients per server, and we want to preserve 
  this
  performance.

   Thanks Dave,

   I think I get it from your example... yet, in our case, we have
   several thousands of keywords, and many many complex searches (with
   filter:, and, or, :near ... an so on).

   I keep thinking that instead of re-implementing on my side the search
   engine logic that Twitter has, it would be simpler for them to also
   send the macthing keywords. And even more elegant solution (yet
   slightly more complex) would be to be able to parse parameters along
   with the search I give, such as a unique search_id (that I can store
   on my side) and then, instead of giving me the matched keywords/search
   terms, they could just give me back that search_id. That would be
   something like this :

   Right now it is :
   POST  http://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json
   track=paris,twitter+superfeedr,http://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json%0Atrack=paris,twitte...,julien
   near:france

   It would be awesome if I could do :
   POST  http://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json
   track={paris:my_search_1,twitter
   +superfeedr:my_search_2,juliennear:france:my_search_3}

   And then, upon notifications, they would just pass me this search key
   my_search_xx

   I know and understand and implies a little bit of work for Twitter,
   but it also removes the pain from each susbcriber to this streaming
   API who has to re-implement again and again the search engine from
   Twitter.

 Again, it's easy with single search keywords, but I haven't found a

 because I would have to compare each combination of tokens in the
 tweet...

 Can someone give more details.

 Hi,

 I am on a shared web hosting space, but my domain has a dedicated IP
 on the server. Am I correct in saying that the twitter API sees the
 dedicated IP address instead of the shared IP address that the server
 has?


It sees whatever IP address the server is making the outgoing http request
with.  You should be able to test this from the command line, on the server,
if you have access:

Thanx, I think the issue exists because I am using the page parameter
(via twitter4j).

@twitter does deprecating also mean it stops working? :-)

 Are you using page parameter? If so, it was recently deprecated, so
 that would explain what you are seeing... the first page over and over

  my code is calling api method statuses/friends with an increasing

  seems it never reaches a page with no friends or less than n friends

  Anyone similar problems?

[twitter-dev] Seeking some assistance with my twitter account

2009-12-08 Thread steve8004
Hello:

I use to third party twitter apps

1. Seemic for Windows
2. Tweetdeck

Both are running throughout the day while I work on other
applications. However, when trying to follow someone new and add them
to my follower list, it tells me I have hit my limit.

Is there an automated way to send a message to folks not following you
and give them a chance to do so prior to un-following them?

Many thanks,
