[twitter-dev] API speed is kicking ass lately...
Woo hoo... something must have changed... for at least the past 24 hours, I am noticing incredible performance from API calls. Seems to be at least 40% faster than earlier in the week.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: issues with retweets and API
Okay forget about ETA. Does twitter have any plans to introduce new method for undoing retweet? or will they just update(provide additional flag retweeted_by_me) that status or will they just remove that original status(once it is retweeted) in timelines and other methods? Please let us know if you are not going to provide retweet/undo method. This will be helpful .

[twitter-dev] Re: Rate limits for Searching APIs (revamped)
On Jan 14, 3:49 pm, Abraham Williams 4bra...@gmail.com wrote: The Search API limit is not publicly available but is more then 150 calls per hour per IP. Once you hit the rate limit there will be a header in the response that specifies when you start making calls again. You can read more about the Search API rate limit here: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Rate-limiting I guess I need to run this by the author of the Perl API library then. I'm seeing x-ratelimit headers come back on search API calls, and it does say 150 per hour. Could that be because I'm using oAuth?
[twitter-dev] Re: Retrieving tweets of an employee
Indeed. I tried several other employees. Not all of them exhibited this behavior, but all of the users that did, were Twitter employees. If this is some magic, it would be better for it to throw a 404 or 401. I think most developers disregard 404s, but retry on 500. In my application, retrying on 500 led to an infinite loop. R.

We'll get on it or something like that) instead of a JSON error return. I can email privately which user I am talking about because I don't want to post it here unless it is ok. Is this is a random problem, or is there extra security on employee profiles? I also experience this problem when trying to list their tweets in Tweetie. TIA, Ryan

[twitter-dev] Registering Apps
Is anyone else having difficulties registering applications for use with the Twitter API? I couldn't even modify any of my settings and the only notifications i ever received was Check your registration settings. I thought it may have been corrupted or something therefore i deleted my application in hopes of creating a new one that would allow me to update my apps information. Unfortunately, I am still getting the same dreaded error with no avail. I've contacted Twitter Support but the only response i have received from them was that i do not have an application registered. I'm not sure if it is a bot or something but it's quite frustrating. I would appreciate any feedback or resolutions if anyone else is experiencing this issue. I hope it isn't isolated to my user account. Thanks again, Danielle
[twitter-dev] AS3 library comparison
For a personal project I am building an AS3 only web based Twitter search and client application. According to Twitter's FAQ, they recommend using Oauth moving forward as a means of authentication. But from what I've seen (and please correct me if I'm wrong), 3rd party libraries (Tweetr, twitterscript, SWX) don't yet implement OAuth. Is anyone aware of any objective comparison between the various Actionscript Twitter libraries available? And can anyone point me to any live as3 web applications currently using Oauth?
[twitter-dev] After changing the callback URL, it is still going to the old one
Hi, I changed my application's callback URL but twitter is still calling the old callback URL. It was changed 8 hours ago. What gives ? What should I do ? Regards, Gavin
[twitter-dev] Saved Searches API questions
Three questions: 1) Is there (/should there be) an update method for existing saved search in order to modify the query? I'm guess right now the only way to do this is to create a new query and delete the old one. 2) Is there a way to modify the name field? Right now it seems to just be a duplicate of query. 3) How is the position field supposed to be used?
[twitter-dev] Re: AS3 library comparison
I have been building a Flash app that uses OAuth authentication with Twitter. But before you even worry about that, you need to know that thanks to Twitters bizzare crossdomain.xml policy, you're going to need a PHP proxy or something similar in order to send your requests to Twitter. Flash in the browser cannot authenticate directly to Twitter thanks to their policies. Take a look: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_frm/thread/e35a708400b529b3/a523a3f5e6c3d6a5?lnk=gstq=crossdomain#a523a3f5e6c3d6a5 That said, here are some resources that may be useful: http://soenkerohde.com/2009/07/high-level-as3flex-library-for-oauth-with-twitter-from-air/ http://www.iotashan.com/index.php/2008/04/28/oauth-actionscript-library/ On Jan 14, 5:02 pm, eco_bach bac...@gmail.com wrote: For a personal project I am building an AS3 only web based Twitter search and client application.

[twitter-dev] Re: API speed is kicking ass lately...
Yeah, in talking w/ @raffi on the API team, I learned that simply by using the api.twitter.com URL when calling REST methods instead of the legacy format of using just twitter.com, you're using a separate and better hardware base. Hence, the chance for faster speeds. The twitter.com REST methods share the same hardware as the twitter.com website.

[twitter-dev] Is this API limit work around ok?
Hello all, I am developing a Twitter web app currently on shared hosting. The only Twitter API call that I make is an unauthenticated call to users/ show which is counted against my IP address API rate limit. I do not have a static IP address so I can't whitelist my IP until I get my own server. I can only whitelist my username. Can I add my accont authentication to the following call: http://twitter.com/users/show/username.xml in order to count the rate limit against my username instead of my IP for every user that visits my site? I am still a novice at PHP, especially security. Would it be ok for me to make this call with basic authentication inside a PHP script, only returning the bits of info that I need to the user? Note that this feature of my site will not be behind a login for Twitter users, so I can not have users login and then have the API rate limit applied to their username. Thanks for the help, Robb
[twitter-dev] Re: AS3 library comparison
Thanks Yes, I've seen Sönke's post on a Flex4 AIR based twitter app. Also came across a tutorial using OAuth with the Tweetr library, but confused about the extra handshaking apparently needed to enter the PIN for a web application. I thought this was only necessary for a desktop-AIR application...will need to investigate more...
Re: [twitter-dev] Is this API limit work around ok?
Yes you can make the calls using basic authentication to target the rate hit to the account.
