It would be awesome to have a status API – isolated from the actual API –
that applications can ping and use to display helpful information to users.

Hi I would like to create a twitter application which retrieves

Hi,
What is the expected wait time after submitting a request for xAuth
access?
I'm trying to let a client know how long the development cycle will
take, but a lot depends on this approval. My request is currently
pending from Thursday or Friday of last week.
Thank you.
When sending a status update through the API how should quotes be
formatted?
I am using $status = htmlspecialchars($status, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
in php with no luck, single and double quotes show up on twitter
escaped with a backslash.
Thanks.
we're in the process of putting the last pieces of infrastructure in place

fairly quick. right now, all requests are being logged, and will be
responded to.

this feature has definitely been in our head - the obvious problem, of
course, is if the API is having issues, and you host a status API in the

In this case, we don't have the original status text to match, so we can't

Your querystring parameters are in the wrong order. You have the

Hi -
I'm trying to figure out how much history search.twitter.com gives
access to. For instance, this search query:

Which bounds election day 2008, returns no results. . Other variants
on the query, such as
Account/verify_credentials does not actually count against your rate limit
so you can call that each time a user signs in.
In general you should cache any data that takes a long time to poll from the

Abraham, thanks for the pointer.
From the wiki, it appears that the search should return up to 1500
results; if you don't restrict the limit by specifying rpp and page,
then it might error out.
Thus this should yield good results:
50 matches
