[twitter-dev] Posting to Twitter using oAuth
Can anyone provide a example of connecting to twitter via oAuth and publishing a tweet. I have created a twitter ap. I have spent hours searching on the internet but i can only find PHP examples. My website is built using JSP and Javascript. Can anyone help? Thanks Chris
[twitter-dev] Re: 401 Unauthorized
Does anyone has any ideas? Any help is really appreciated, because I can't understand this kind of the API's behavior.

I am using basic auth. When I run my application locally, it works just fine and I never get any 401 errors. However, when I run my application on another environment, I get 401 error in approximately 80% cases. I am completely sure that the credentials are correct. What makes this situation even more weird is that I am working with several accounts, and most of them work fine in both environments. I am experiencing problems only with one account. All accounts I work with are whitelisted, so rate limit should not be an issue here. I have no idea what may cause this behavior. Could you please explain me the possible reasons I am getting 401?

[twitter-dev] Problem - Two user with the same screen_name, Example below
Hi I was under the impression that screen_names are unique but I came across two different users having the same screen_name: http://api.twitter.com/1/users/show.xml?user_id=110332760 http://api.twitter.com/1/users/show.xml?user_id=122406923 The screen_name is Y_H_B and when we access the User Show method by screen name (http://api.twitter.com/1/users/show.xml? screen_name=Y_H_B) or go to their twitter page (http://twitter.com/ Y_H_B) then we are looking at the user with id = 110332760 Does anyone know if this is a bug or a known issue? What happens with the ghost user 122406923? Is it a valid user? They don't seem to have a twitter page since the Y_H_B screen_name is used by someone else. Thanks Georgios
[twitter-dev] PROBLEM WITH STATUSES ID RETURNED FROM SEARCH
I found this problem while i was trying to add and delete some
favorites to my acocunt and the response was always NOT FOUND
Below is a var dump of the result when searching google
If you have a look you will see on each status the propery [id]=
int(2147483647)
It's really strange because it's the only value that is repeat in all
the results
Anyone experienced the same problem?
Thanks in advance...

[twitter-dev] What are reasonably focused track predicates?
From the streaming API documentation: Reasonably focused track predicates will return all occurrences in the full Firehose stream of public statuses. Overly broad track predicates will cause the output to be periodically limited. After the limitation period expires, all matching statuses will once again be delivered, along with a limit message that enumerates the total number of statuses that have been eliminated from the stream. Limit messages are described in Parsing Responses. My use case is tracking a set of users (follow), and in addition monitoring a list of hashtags (filter). Several questions: a) Does this qualify? b) How many hashtags and/or followers would I have to track to unqualify and start getting rate limited? c) Do follow predicates get a higher priority? If I get rate limited temporarily, what will be limited - the hashtags, the followers, or a random combination of both? d) If one of my hashtags becomes a trending topic, how does that affect the streaming api limit?

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Historical user information
The short answer is convenience for developers. In most cases showing information about a tweet isn't enough -- it needs to be augmented with user data. Rather than require a separate call to retrieve that user data (or building a cache of user object data on the client side) we provide that data inline for all statuses. In places like home_timeline and friends_timeline this inclusion of full user objects is extremely useful, and from an efficiency standpoint probably not too bad in the common case. In the case of something like user_timeline it is inefficient. There are three solutions here 1) Never populate user objects 2) Sometimes populate user objects 3) Always populate user objects We've decided on 3 as the best blend of usefulness and efficiency for now. In the future we may revisit providing more compact forms of this data. ---Mark http://twitter.com/mccv On Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 5:32 PM, MaDeuce kheaus...@gmail.com wrote: Twitter newb question: Mark, I want to be clear that I'm not questioning the accuracy of your answer at all; I'm sure you're correct. However, I can't fathom why there would be this much redundancy in the data returned by the Twitter API. If I understand correctly, if I get the 20 most recent status posted by a user, then that user's data will be returned 20 times - one with each returned status. Ed's original reply sounded plausible (and interesting), as it at least provided a reason for the repeated inclusion of user objects, inefficient though it might have been. Even a basic normalization would include just the id in the status as opposed to the entire user object. I have to assume that the user is there for a reason, however it's one that I can't figure out. Can you or someone else educate me about why this data is present?

Re: [twitter-dev] What are reasonably focused track predicates?
To clarify the taxonomy: The filter method supports three predicate types, represented by the parameters track (keywords), follow (users), and locations (geo). Track and locations are rate limited, but follow is not rate-limited. Follow is never rate limited. If either location or track goes over the threshold, the both turn off. I updated the wiki to be a little clearer. Most trending topics should be fine on the default access rate. But, if you want to ensure that you get all of them, you'll should contact a...@twitter.com for a higher access level. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Infrastructure, Twitter Inc.

Re: [twitter-dev] What are reasonably focused track predicates?
You will get all tweets up to a certain percentage of total tweet volume. To answer your questions in order a) In the general sense, yes b) It really depends on the specific hashtags and followers. If you have a bunch of trending hashtags followed you may run into limiting c) both. It's based on tweet volume d) It doesn't except that you will likely see increased tweet volume from that hashtag, and therefore a greater likelihood of being limited. My suggestion is to try your full set of predicates. If you see limit messages, remove predicates until you reach a sustainable tweet volume. ---Mark http://twitter.com/mccv On Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 7:09 AM, Jonathon Hill jhill9...@gmail.com wrote: From the streaming API documentation: Reasonably focused track predicates will return all occurrences in the full Firehose stream of public statuses.

[twitter-dev] Re: Historical user information
Mark, thanks for the reply. I understand it from the aspect of convenience, however, I still don't understand it in terms of actual behavior. I performed an experiment with with a fairly active timeline. I grabbed 20 recent (less than one week old) status entries and 20 older (about 11 months old) status entries from the timeline. A python/ tweepy code snippet and the resulting output is at the bottom of this post. In the recent status entries, the user data is invariant, as I would expect from your original response in this thread. However, the user data is different in almost all of the older status entries. In the latter case, for example, the statuses_count, followers_count, and friends_count all increase monotonically. This leads me to conclude that, at one time, the user information associated with a status entry was the user information which was current at the time of the creation of that entry. I assume that, at some point, the implementation changed to the behavior you describe, namely that the current user information is always returned for statuses created after the change in the implementation.

[twitter-dev] how do we get unBlacklisted???
We have developed an app which captures tweets containing specific keywords. Then we use a moderation dashboard to select tweets to be displayed on live Tv broadcast. Similar to what Current TV did during the presidential debate. The problem is, we apparently just got banned/block apparently because we are calling on the Streaming API too frequently. What our app does is collect tweets, and at the time of being blocked, we had 5 different searches on the Streaming API at the same time which had been running for the past 3 weeks. Also, we were using our personal accounts through the same IP. So We have fixed our code, and stopped all running processes. We have also moved our personal accounts to non-whitelisted IP address, and plan on using the Whitelisted IP address only for our app.. Our code uses the phirehose PHP interface to Twitter Streaming API as source for our app, How do we get Whitelisted again? Now what we are planning on doing is running different searches on different IPs if necessary. thanks!
Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Historical user information
This is a rare case. Without going in to gory details of caching and the horrors that lie within, suffice to say that looking at a very very heavily trafficked timeline will show different behavior than less heavily trafficked ones. ---Mark http://twitter.com/mccv On Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 12:31 PM, MaDeuce k...@east.fm wrote: Mark, thanks for the reply. I understand it from the aspect of convenience, however, I still don't understand it in terms of actual behavior. I performed an experiment with with a fairly active timeline. I grabbed 20 recent (less than one week old) status entries and 20 older (about 11 months old) status entries from the timeline. A python/ tweepy code snippet and the resulting output is at the bottom of this post. In the recent status entries, the user data is invariant, as I would expect from your original response in this thread. However, the user data is different in almost all of the older status entries. In the latter case, for example, the statuses_count, followers_count, and friends_count all increase monotonically. This leads me to conclude that, at one time, the user information associated with a status entry was the user information which was current at the time of the creation of that entry. I assume that, at some point, the implementation changed to the behavior you describe, namely that the current user information is always returned for statuses created after the change in the implementation. I also conclude that the behavior I see w.r.t. the older statuses is actually a bug. Is that correct?

I searched online for an answer, some mentioned to just hide the
notice, but that doesn't really fix it...anybody have an idea to
resolve this?
Thanks,
Cassidy
Here is my code snippet:
?php
require_once('twitlib/twitter.lib.php');
$username = 'theusername';
$password = 'thepassword';
$twitter = new Twitter($username, $password);
$mentions = $twitter-getMentions(array('page'=1), 'json');
$mentions_decode = json_decode($mentions);
echo @ . $mentions_decode['screen_name'] . just mentioned me; \
\The line giving me the notice
?
