Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Can new twitter account be created from API?
Strictly speaking, there is an API of sorts to create accounts, but limited to certain partners. Citysearch is using it IIRC. Although it would be great for mobile clients because there isn't a nice mobile web page to create an account so it takes a PC to get started for new users. Seen a note on it on those leaked twitter docs on techcrunch a while back, so the twitter guys have been thinking about it.

[twitter-dev] DMs are automatically tweeted (not what I want!) :)
I can't find an answer to how or why this is happening nor can I figure out how to stop the madness :) Since testing a tweet this on a client's site (or so I can narrow down) my DM's are automatically becoming tweets. This is happening for auto-dms and personal dms. So if I receive a dm such as: abcuser: hi there thanks for the follow then the tweet that gets posted within 8 hours is: [abcuser] hi there thanks for the follow via api I cannot delete it via tweetdeck but I can from ubertwitter on my blackberry. How can I stop it from auto-tweeting my dms? Is there something in the API that I triggered somehow? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

[twitter-dev] Re: Can new twitter account be created from API?
If they allow create accounts from API then this is what's going to happend: All leading online forum software will implement an option to create new twitter account for a new forum. So if you run an online forum like vbulletin, you can have 100 forums, thus 100 accounts on twitter. This means that every post make to just about every forum on the Internet will end up on twitter. This will add thousands, tens on thousands of updates per second to twitter. I don't know if they really want it. For the forum owner this may be great - more traffic to their forums, for end user also an extra way to follow his favorite forums. I am sure if Twitter allows account creation from API, all major forum and blog/CMS makers will jump right it.

Local news is considered spam if it is annoying.

Re: [twitter-dev] Advanced search capability in API?
I believe all of the params from advanced search can be used with the search api as well...as an example, using the search.twitter.com advanced search form produces a url like: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=ands=friendstatusphrase=ors=nots=tag=lang=enfrom=to=ref=near=within=15units=misince=until=rpp=15 Add the same parameters to your search api call and I believe you'll get the same results.

Re: [twitter-dev] Advanced search capability in API?
For the Search *API*, the geocode (lat,long,radius) is a separate parameter on the call, *not* part of the q= string. If you go to Advanced Search and type near:97201 within:25mi, it will work, but if you supply that as a query to the API it won't. You have to look up the latitude and longitude of the 97201 zip code and create a geocode parameter. Just on the off chance someone else cares about happenings within a 25 mile radius of Portland, Oregon, here's the string I use: my $pdx_geocode = 45.511795,-122.675629,25mi; # PDX geocode On Tue, Jan 26, 2010 at 1:48 PM, Abraham Williams 4bra...@gmail.com wrote: For the Search REST API any of these operators should work.

[twitter-dev] Re: Streaming API in PHP - Any examples or advice?
I too am using Phirehose for a similar small no. of tweets. The general idea with streaming is not to process stuff live on the wire but to parse it into files or a DB and then further process this data from some additional code. As an example: I am looking to get geocoded tweets for specific areas in New Zealand which I can do with Phirehose. The idea with libs like Phirehose and others is to use it as a base for your own further work. So what I will do (as soon as I figure out why I'm getting blank lines out of curl) is perhaps to modify the enqueueStatus() function in filter-track-geo.php and instead o f using print_r() and printing everything to the screen, I will create my own routing to instert the tweet-data into a DB. I will then likely create a new Phirehose method (or procedural code first!) to query the DB and post-process the tweets for specific keywords. I do it in this 2-stage process 1). because inserting into a DB first gives you some 'buffer' from issues that the API states can arise in a stream and 2). AFAIK you can't concatenate parameters together like 'location' and 'track' as they are logically Or'd together (probably due to the potential for the API to easily overload twitter's servers. Does any of that make sense? I haven't written any code as yet so can't give any concrete example, but I'm assuming you are at least familiar with PHP?

This example writes all the tweets to a flat file which I guess can then be parsed and stored in a db. Is this a necessary step? Could one go straight to the db? Can anyone help me out?

Re: [twitter-dev] Advanced search capability in API?
The location filtering does not look at the location information provided in user profiles. It only looks at tweets that have been geotagged. So If you have location filtering enabled, you won't get any non-geotagged tweets. Location specification is by latitude-longitude boxes in Streaming rather than by circles as it is in Search. here are the differences between search and streaming APIs: - for the search API, the location filtering -does- look in the user profiles. in the streaming API, if you are using the geohose, that does -not- look in the user profiles; - in the search API, location filtering is a radius. in the streaming API, location filtering is a bounding box. -- Raffi Krikorian Twitter Platform Team http://twitter.com/raffi
[twitter-dev] Re: Can new twitter account be created from API?
Are you saying the last thing twitter wants is for everybody creating valuable web content to tell/link twitter? If so, I have a company, and I'm looking for investors. On Jan 26, 10:05 am, Dmitri Snytkine d.snytk...@gmail.com wrote: If they allow create accounts from API then this is what's going to happend: All leading online forum software will implement an option to create new twitter account for a new forum. So if you run an online forum like vbulletin, you can have 100 forums, thus 100 accounts on twitter. This means that every post make to just about every forum on the Internet will end up on twitter. This will add thousands, tens on thousands of updates per second to twitter. I don't know if they really want it. For the forum owner this may be great - more traffic to their forums, for end user also an extra way to follow his favorite forums. I am sure if Twitter allows account creation from API, all major forum and blog/CMS makers will jump right it.

Although it would be great for mobile clients because there isn't a nice mobile web page to create an account so it takes a PC to get started for new users. Seen a note on it on those leaked twitter docs on techcrunch a while back, so the twitter guys have been thinking about it.

[twitter-dev] Couple Local Trends geo API questions
The web ui for “local trends near you” asks users to select a geographic area. Is this solely a web UI thing or will this location be available in a user’s profile? If it’s in a user’s profile, would it be a WOEID, something under the existing location element or something else entirely? Ever consider allowing woeids to be used anywhere where a latitude/ longitude pair could be used? From the draft documentation it appears that WOEIDs are solely used in trends, and only as a parameter for trends/location, but not trends/available for example, nor in geocoded searches. Local Trends appear to be rolling out through the web UI, any sense on when the API end points will open up? -- -ed costello

If it’s in a user’s profile, would it be a WOEID, something under the existing location element or something else entirely? soon we will be presenting, through the API, on the user object, what location the user has selected as his or her local trend place. it will probably be presented both as a WOEID, and a link to the trends API call you can make to get that user's selected trends. Ever consider allowing woeids to be used anywhere where a latitude/ longitude pair could be used? From the draft documentation it appears that WOEIDs are solely used in trends, and only as a parameter for trends/location, but not trends/available for example, nor in geocoded searches. trends/available ( http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method:-trends-available) returns WOEIDs as the list of places that twitter has trends for. you are correct, however, in that you cannot issue a search using a WOEID on the search API. to make your life a bit easier, trends/available can optionally take a latitude and a longitude, and then it will sort all the available trends locations by distance from the given point. Local Trends appear to be rolling out through the web UI, any sense on when the API end points will open up? as users get access to them through the web UI, the user also gets access to the API. we're racing towards getting all users access to the local trends. -- Raffi Krikorian Twitter Platform Team http://twitter.com/raffi

Nice!!

Thanks!! I'll be watching my browser! ;-) One other geo question - is there a list somewhere of which clients / desktop tools send tweets that are geotagged? I can infer some of that by collecting geotagged tweets from the streaming API and looking at the source field, but I was looking for something like If you want your tweets to be geotagged, do this and it will work. Right now, the context is the Haiti relief effort, but I'm sure there are other places in the crisis management / mapping universe where a guide like that would be useful. A small datapoint - I did a Search last night for a 200 km radius around the epicenter and pulled in 7500 tweets total, of which 93 were geotagged. -- M.
