There are several really good .NET libraries that handle OAuth

I would give TweetSharp a look to see if it meets your needs. You
might also want to look at TwitterVB.

[twitter-dev] Loose ends for List and Retweet APIs
There are some loose ends that need to be tied up in both the List and Retweet APIs to round out the feature set and fix some bugs. I want to crank these all out. So here is a little list I've been building. Please add what I've left out and you think is missing. Retweet: * add retweet_count to every status representation * support paging through the resource that returns all retweets for a given tweet * don't require authentication for *most* read only resources List: * on a user representation, show list count, list memberships count and list subscriptions count * don't require authentication on read only resources * expose a list of ids for a list's members and subscribers (this change will go hand in hand with a new bulk user lookup resource where you provide a list of ids and get back a list of user representations) * count parameter for status timelines of a list appears to do nothing Many other things I'm sure... -- Marcel Molina Twitter Platform Team http://twitter.com/noradio
Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Getting retweets in user timelines
The backwards compatibility problem is SAX event based parsers that, without proper code in place to set the current context, will just blindly grab the screen_name and text attributes etc in potentially non-deterministic ways thus mixing up, potentially, the tweeter from the retweeter, and the tweet from the retweet.

[twitter-dev] Account Suspension, Retweet Limitations
Hey everyone, I've recently setup a new account and made it retweet some messages based on hashtags every few seconds. I'm using the new retweets API and I couldn't get passed ~ 35 tweets when Twitter has blocked my account. There was no spam, pornography or any other violation. Anybody know if there are any limits to this? I did this twice on two different accounts, both of them blocked. Filed an issue to Twitter Support, still waiting. I'm pretty sure I'm not hitting the API limits. Thank you, Konstantin
[twitter-dev] Re: Loose ends for List and Retweet APIs
It would be good to be able to get retweets in a user's timeline. If that is not possible for backwards compatibility reasons, is it possible to have a function such as retweets_by_user which has similar semantics to retweets_by_me, except we can specify the user whose retweets are being retrieved (requiring appropriate authentication for protected users, of course)? Thanks! On Dec 18, 2:09 pm, Marcel Molina mar...@twitter.com wrote: There are some loose ends that need to be tied up in both the List and Retweet APIs to round out the feature set and fix some bugs.

Or conceivably (though arguably janky) there could be an additional parameter you provide for the user timeline that opts you in to having retweets appear. e.g. ?include_retweets=true On Fri, Dec 18, 2009 at 3:08 PM, Cameron Kaiser spec...@floodgap.comwrote: It would be good to be able to get retweets in a user's timeline.

Retweets of Me (http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A- statuses-retweets_of_me) * add details about who retweeted your tweets, only needs to be first retweeter and a count of total number of times retweeted. Lists: * add list details node (eg. same as GET list_id method) to other lists methods such as 'GET list statuses', 'GET list members', 'GET list subscribers' - would allow me to replicate the individual 'list pages' like on twitter.com without the need to make additional api calls (not a huge issue with the forthcoming rate limit increase.)

[twitter-dev] The Twitter DNS fiasco
Am I the only one who thinks this is somewhat disingenous, or at least lacking in details? http://blog.twitter.com/2009/12/update-on-last-nights-dns-disruption.html I dontv even know what happened. I'm guessing, somehow, Twitter.com had their DNS records pointed to some arbitrary host. I believe bluehost, that's what dig told me at the time. How bluehost handled that traffic is a testament to the 6.00 account it must have been sitting on. Is that what happened? Why did bluehost not immediately close that ip? But the statement that no accounts are believed to be compromised... How many have remember me enabled? Doesn't this mean all those users had their login cookie sent along for capture? If the hackers were more nefarious, they could have easily cloned the login/pass box and captured the credentials and redirected to fail whale. Smarter still, round robin the ip's to only 1 being false, most would get in, but those who did not just gave up login and pass details. They will try again later and all would work fine. This would have taken much longer to rven discover. How did someone get control of DNS? With twitters size, could a call not been made to netsol, openDNS, 8.8.8.8, and the rest of the large 3rd party dns providers to shunt in records with the correct IP's for a shirt time, until the real TTL's refreshed? Netsol could have solved it in one swoop. I think a lot more detail about this need to be disclosed. This does not seem like a Twitter security issue, it seems like a DNS issue, largely outside of twitters control. Why not explain that? Right now it appears twitter got hacked, again, but I dont think that to be the case, though this blog posts lack of detail makes the public feel Twitter was hacked. Where did all the forgot password emails go, were MX records also put in place. Where did email in general go, can we see the hacked zone copy put in place? Twitter did little wrong here, the blog post is so vague, it makes the general public think It's twitters Machines, which if I understand this, it's not. Pretty sure I could self fix this with a few entries to /etc/hosts or in my case, I would have just added the zone to my RR, had i known what to add in.

If there is a standard regular expression that can be used for detecting a

[twitter-dev] Error using the search API

I do not think that I am reaching the 2 limit.
What should I do/check?
Thanks in advance.
[twitter-dev] Re: Doing a search with from:username_with_underscore doesnt seem to work
It's not the underscore. These queries work: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=from%3Ajamie_oliver http://search.twitter.com/search?q=from%3Adavid_henrie This particular one doesn't: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=from%3Athe_hindu to:the_hindu does work. Just speculating, but perhaps the_hindu's results were dropped from the index by a spam filter for some reason. Maybe it tweeted too many times in a very short period.
