until_id rather than max_id, it appears to be searching and
returning tweets. If you want, I've got HTTP request / response dumps

I'm wondering if the geocode search API is completely dead? It started

It's throwing a 404 {error:Couldn't find Status withID=7406995447}.
We've tried this from various IP addresses and it
doesn't matter. I'll include the request and exact error dump below.

returned in the error also doesn't match the ID that I passed in. I
can reproduce it everytime.
To reproduce: Do a search for #tests then take the ID of the last

Also search and favorites API methods does not list max_id as a

I believe that this is some kind of routing problem because when I log onto a server in US and do the same it works (I do my queries normally from Canada). To test, it is quite easy, just do any query on search.twitter.com directly such as:http://search.twitter.com/search?q=twitter from an IP that is in Canada. I think it happens elsewhere in the world based on some tweets that I have seen while searching for search.twitter.com. The search on main twitter site is unaffected (i.e.http://twitter.com/#search?q=twitter works) as it uses some different mechanism (what is that mechanism, that would be nice to know, because I certainly would like to have the same level of reliability as the main site at least, I don't think that streaming api is the solution as it requires authentication).
[twitter-dev] Twitter Profile Widget RateLimit
Hi, I am investigating options for showing a twitter widget on a website. I am considering using the Twitter provided Profile Widget (http:// twitter.com/goodies/widget_profile). I wanted to clarify what rate limiting policy (if any) applies to this widget? From reading the documentation, the widget does not make authenticated calls, and therefore a client IP limit would be applied. As the call to twitter is made via javascript from the client browser, the limit would then be placed on the client IP (150 calls per hour). The widget will show for various twitter users who register with my site (i.e. they say what their twitter name is and on their public page, the twitter widget will show their last couple of tweets). The render rate will be much higher than 150 per hour in total, but for an individual browser should be much less. Finally, what happens when a large number of clients (browsers) are behind a proxy such as at a university or large company? Thank you Jason

If that is the reason for disallowing the source param, why is this policy not being applied uniformly? How would users of Tweetie, Twitterrific, etc. feel if all their updates now said 'from web'? How would the developers of those apps feel? those applications have been grandfathered in -- requiring oauth to set the source parameter applies to newer applications. -- Raffi Krikorian Twitter Platform Teamhttp://twitter.com/raffi Obviously they've been grandfathered in, but you haven't addressed the fact that the policy makes no sense and simply hurts developers and users who are using the *only system that currently fully works*. It's clearly a policy intended to coerce devs into Twitter's incomplete OAuth implementation for the sole benefit of Twitter, Inc. I can see this is going no where and says a lot about how Twitter operates now.

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter Profile Widget RateLimit
Hi Josh, Thank you for getting back to me. If I was to provide a widget myself and make API calls, I would certainly be above the 2 calls per hour (5.5tps). I would therefore have to implement a caching layer. Added complexity comes from the fact that there are several instances of the web site, for example in North America and Europe. This makes it dificult to determine the number of API calls made during any given hour. The twitter widget looks like it provides a nice solution as no authenticated api calls are introduced, and requests come from the end user's browser. I want to be a good citizen, so it would be good to be able to eliminate the widget from my investigation or use it with confidence.

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter Profile Widget RateLimit
Hi Josh, Thank you for getting back to me. I am currently at the stage of evaluating the best approach to use. My level of transactions per second (tps) and data staleness requirements may well push me over the whitelisted call rate at times (2 per hour / 5.5tps ) even with caching. Some pages are much more popular than others, so caching will help me to some extent. I could build a server side service / caching layer and limit the number of calls to 2 per hour. I have seperate instances of my website in Europe and North America also - so single connection limit per account limitation rules out the streaming API and it also makes it hard to know the global number of API calls my website is making at a given time. I like the attraction of deploying the twitter widget, as the calls then come from the users browsers and no limit appears to apply. But, with this solution there would be 0 caching. I want to be a good citizen, and am happy to eliminate the twitter widget if I have to, but it is quite an attractive approach for me.

You must distribute your consumer credentials with the app. A hacker can strip these and use them for forging. So OAuth provides no protection there. Only safety to be had with oauth is with server based apps that can keep their credentials safe. Josh

To me it sounds like a setup that you could do with a centralised data source. I would be tempted to build some sort of Twitter proxy service which all your requests go through. You could mimic the Twitter API however yours could including a caching mechanism which would support all of your other sites. If you mimic the API correctly you wont have to change any of your existing codebase except the hostname that you are making the call to. However if you think the widget might work then maybe run a few tests that way, it is by far the simplest option and i have found it to work great for smaller client projects. Twitter support are always good to iron out any vagueness to the API restrictions in place, you might be best filing a support ticket.

My level of transactions per second (tps) and data staleness requirements may well push me over the whitelisted call rate at times (2 per hour / 5.5tps ) even with caching. Some pages are much more popular than others, so caching will help me to some extent. I could build a server side service / caching layer and limit the number of calls to 2 per hour. I have seperate instances of my website in Europe and North America also - so single connection limit per account limitation rules out the streaming API and it also makes it hard to know the global number of API calls my website is making at a given time. I like the attraction of deploying the twitter widget, as the calls then come from the users browsers and no limit appears to apply. But, with this solution there would be 0 caching. I want to be a good citizen, and am happy to eliminate the twitter widget if I have to, but it is quite an attractive approach for me.

The best way is to use an effecting caching technique. If you cache the content every x minutes you should be covered if a certain page was to get hammered. What is the context of your application and have you considered white listing if you really need to be using the API for every request?

I am considering using the Twitter provided Profile Widget (http:// twitter.com/goodies/widget_profile). I wanted to clarify what rate limiting policy (if any) applies to this widget? From reading the documentation, the widget does not make authenticated calls, and therefore a client IP limit would be applied. As the call to twitter is made via javascript from the client browser, the limit would then be placed on the client IP (150 calls per hour). The widget will show for various twitter users who register with my site (i.e. they say what their twitter name is and on their public page, the twitter widget will show their last couple of tweets). The render rate will be much higher than 150 per hour in total, but for an individual browser should be much less. Finally, what happens when a large number of clients (browsers) are behind a proxy such as at a university or large company? Thank you Jason
[twitter-dev] Relationship between Gardenhose and Track vs Search API
I'm reading the streaming API documentation and have a question about track keywords. A set of keywords can be used to filter the gardenhose but it doesn't actually increase your chance of getting tweets that would not have been included in the unfiltered stream. The gardenhose is a sample of the firehose and returns the same results to all clients - correct? If this is the case then for applications that need all data for specific keywords I would think the search API remains the better option? For example, if I needed all tweets that contained the words foo OR bar the gardenhose can't guarantee I will get 100%. What's confusing me is the email which went out the other day about the streaming API. First the statement about polling for keywords: If your application polls for keywords, mentions, is whitelisted on the Search API, or makes more than perhaps 10 queries per minute, you should begin your migration to Streaming. Desktop clients should postpone a migration to Streaming. Then later in the email: Complete corpus search: Search is focused on result set quality and there are no guarantees to return all matching tweets. Complete results are only available on the Streaming API. Search results are increasingly filtered and reordered for relevance. This second statement differs from the streaming API documentation which says that the streaming API is sampled. Does the rollout of the streaming API to the general public mean that results are no longer sampled? -Ross
[twitter-dev] Twitter Oauth Issues
Hello folks, I'm developing a twitter desktop client for windows using the Oauth method, but for some reason I'm getting this error while requesting an Access token The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.. This issue is only happening in my development PC, I've tried the app in other computers and Internet Connections and it works great, I'm guessing this is happening because I make too much requests to twitter from the same computer. Could anyone help me on this issue ? Thanks.

Re: [twitter-dev] Relationship between Gardenhose and Track vs Search API
Check out the filter URL on the streaming API. It will return up to N tweets a minute, where N is the amount you'd get from a sampled stream. However it only returns tweets that match track keywords. Provided the number of filtered tweets is never above the sampled amount, you won't get limited. Let's take a hypothetical example. Using gardenhose you're throttled at 100 tweets a minute (not the real number). You track the keyword twitter. During the first minute there are 50 matches. You get all 50. During the second minute there are 150 tweets about twitter. You'll get 100 tweets, and a limit message saying there were 50 more you missed due to throttling. Does this make sense? ---Mark http://twitter.com/mccv On Wed, Jan 13, 2010 at 10:55 AM, Ross Bates rba...@gmail.com wrote: I'm reading the streaming API documentation and have a question about track keywords.

Its pretty easy to build a widget, from fetching the results, parsing them, and presenting them, twitter makes it easy to do.

[twitter-dev] Streaming API tweets delayed by ~20 minutes
I'm using the streaming API /track function. The tweets coming in right now are delayed about 20 minutes (i.e. if I go to the tweet permalink the moment I get a tweet, it says 22 minutes ago, etc).

Re: [twitter-dev] Streaming API tweets delayed by ~20 minutes
We have extensive monitoring on all streams and graph the worst case latency for every server in several ways, from several locations. If latency increases just slightly, alarms go off. I think you must be looking at something else. Try this: In one window: curl -s stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.xml\?track=g8buzz,bears,tourism,sandro,jetsday,haiti,vinb,victorytulsa,lakers,mavericks,pens,mavs,relativesinhaiti,flames,penguins -uUSER:PASS | egrep '^ created_at' In another window: echo while 1;date;sleep 1;end | tcsh You'll see the tweet created_at time match your system clock, assuming you are running ntp, sufficient bandwidth, and there isn't some momentary operational hiccup. I think you are looking at retweets or something similar. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Services, Twitter Inc.
