Uploading the same file to Twitter twice in a row results in 2 unique URLs. For example: http://a3.twimg.com/profile_background_images/63273103/avatar-200.png http://a3.twimg.com/profile_background_images/63273237/avatar-200.png So after you upload the background image save the URL and either do

It seems like twitter.com handles favoriting and retweeting well so there seems to be some discrepancy between what twitter.com uses and the API. +1 Retweets_by_others (statuses/retweeted_to_me) includes the retweets by you and your friends. If you retweet a original status from

Hi, I am using statuses/friends call to get the list of user's friend's screen names. These screen names are stored by the system. I am maintaining the last stored screen name, so that it can be used as offset from which new screen names can be listed.For ex: today I stored 250 screen names,

I'm just starting out on writing a simple C++ library that integrates with the Twitter API. As this is in the early stages I don't really want to be integrating with the live twitter environment - 1) I may be sending over a load of broken requests while I work out that I'm doing 2) The status

Hey everyone, I just released a tool for Mac OS X called OAuthery. It allows you to manually obtain an access token using the PIN-based workflow. This is especially useful if you're using OAuth in a script or a bot. You enter your consumer key and consumer secret, and the system will obtain a

No test version of twitter. The best way is to create a test account and protect it's updates to keep it off search. Request account/ip white-listing where necessary. You may get rate limited but it's good to understand your limits you can work inside during testing (rate limits reset every hour).

2010-01-01 Thread Kyle Mulka
My experience with rate limiting shows that each authenticated request is counted against that user's limit on your IP. So, you get 20,000 requests per IP, per user, per hour assuming all your requests are authenticated. Any unauthenticated requests go towards the 20,000 request limit per IP, per
