[twitter-dev] reducing traffic back from twitter
I'm posting to twitter using a battery powered GSM device over GPRS. The thing is, I'm trying to minimise the traffic being sent over the connection to use as little energy as possible. When posting a status update, I get a reasonable amount of data returned - 1-2K (although insignificant in modern terms) which I would like to reduce if possible. Is there any way without cutting off the connection as soon as the data is sent to reduce this (ideally to just a message meaning 'OK' or 'NOT OK'). Perhaps there are some parameters that I can specify on the request to do this?

Re: [twitter-dev] getting authenticated user's rate-limit-using rest API.
Hi there,
Yes I got your point Sir and that's the problem automatic switching of
user does not take place. Yes authentication is essential, but can I do that
using rate_limit_status method(passing user name and password to method) for
these two users or OAuth is the option, but it's not possible in this
case(have already implemented OAuth in app), because this is going to be
automatically. Above two user names will be white listed A/C's(that I am
going to do as this problem will get solved on current requests). I read
Twitter api documentation, in that I got clue to pass unm and pwd using
cURL ( have used it) like this-
curl -u user:password
http://api.twitter.com/1/account/rate_limit_status.xmlhttp://twitter.com/account/rate_limit_status.xml
is this possible?

Re: [twitter-dev] can we authenticate user without redirecting to the twitter in rails app.
If you're building a web application, the OAuth flow involving the redirect to Twitter for user authentication is really you're only viable option at this time.

[twitter-dev] Re: getting authenticated user's rate-limit-using rest API.
There is no way that Twitter's api is going to let you swap between
two users (ie: here are two usernames that can auth, swap to the other
when one runs out of hits)
You will have to check the authenticating user's rate limit before
each request. When that account hits 0, authenticate with the second
user, check it's rate limit, if it's greater than 0 continue with the
request.
If you code your app this way your request won't be interrupted. But
instead of going through hoops like this could you explain what you're
doing that requires over 20,000 requests per hour? I can't speak for
Twitter but I would guess that using multiple accounts to get around
rate limits is frowned upon. There may be an easier way to achieve
what you're doing (streaming/higher access levels/etc)

[twitter-dev] Re: Bulk User Relationship Lookup?
Thanks Abraham, don't worry I'm watching Intersect closely ;) Unfortunately, this doesn't currently address what I'm getting at, namely, if I use the bulk user lookup, I'd like to similarly get accurate friend / follower info for each of those users (relative to the user making the bulk lookup) in one call.

[twitter-dev] Re: Best Practice - Parsing the Location Field
Hi. Did you manage to solve your issue? I'm faced with the same thing. I need to find a reliable way to retrieve location information from a tweet (i.e. given that the vast majority of tweets do not include lon and lat values). What did you do in the end? Are you willing to share code? On Feb 18, 7:49 pm, GeorgeMedia georgeme...@gmail.com wrote: My primary reason for consuming the gardenhose is so I can gather tweets and sort them by location on demand when I need them. I have the tweets stored in local hourly files and I'm ready to insert them into the MySQL DB. But first... I need to do some scrubbing. I'm primarily interested in tweets that already have the lon/lat in the location field because then I can just calculate radius locally and grab all the tweets from a given radius. But I don't want to leave out the people who actually took a second and put their real location in the Location field. I already have lon/ lat locations for US cities in my DB and just need to grab usable CITY, STATE combos to search on/match with what I have. So my questions 1) Should I just ignore/dump any tweets that have an empty LOCATION field? Because no matter what, if the tweet is geotagged the lon/lat will be in that field correct? And if it's not geotagged the profile location info will be there. And if that's not available it will be empty -- right? 2) What do you think would be the best regex (I'm writing in PHP) to determine whether the field had any real location data in it? From what I've seen the most accurate location fields always have CITY, STATE so I'm assuming checking for a comma is a good idea. But what else? How is twitter handling this?

[twitter-dev] Is there support for the OAuth 2-legged model?
Hi, I am building an app that will programmatically update my twitter status every hour or so. It will update my status from a server running without any interaction from me. From what I have learned, I should use OAuth rather than basic authentication. It seems that basic authentication is to shut down June 2010 (which seems rather soon). I have spent a day and a restless night reading OAuth specs and then dreaming about them all night long :( I am guessig that I need the 2- legged model rather than the 3-legged model as there is to be no user interaction and my consumer application wants access to a single user resource only - a resource it is directly tied to. Hence my application is both the consumer and the user. I have read the 2007 spec that was put out on the 2-legged model. I have also read the most recent OAuth 1.0a spec which seems to ignore the 2-legged model. Doing a search for 2-legged or two-legged on this website yields nothing which make me think that what I am trying to do - programmatically update a user status - isn't something anyone would want to do. As that seems totally unlikely, I am wondering if I am totally barking up the wrong tree. Can something help point me in the right direction?

Re: [twitter-dev] Is there support for the OAuth 2-legged model?
Hi all, We don't yet support two-legged OAuth but see value in its use for actions requiring client application authorization but not necessarily user-based authentication. As Raffi notes, we're implementing it now. However, two-legged OAuth does not necessarily solve the issue you're looking to solve, actions requiring an actor like tweeting, favoriting, etc. would still require an OAuth access token. In the case of a single purpose application with a single user, you would leverage OAuth to exchange your own credentials for an access token which you could then re-use indefinitely for the single-user use case of your application.

You will have to check the authenticating user's rate limit before

If you code your app this way your request won't be interrupted. But
instead of going through hoops like this could you explain what you're
doing that requires over 20,000 requests per hour? I can't speak for

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Is there support for the OAuth 2-legged model?
I have some really stupid questions, regarding xauth. (Sorry.) Looking at this article: http://www.reynoldsftw.com/2010/03/using-xauth-an-alternate-oauth-from-twitter/ Can xauth be used as the 2 legged model? The article says First off though, you need to send an email to a...@twitter.com and ask them to register your OAuth application to use xAuth. Once approved (you’ll get an email at time of writing) you make a call to the API method “https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token” After one has gotten that token, can one use it for all of one's web based apps regardless of URL of the app?

[twitter-dev] Missing replies to followed user (streaming api)
We seem to consistently miss replies to users using the streaming api. Our methodology: If one of our users specifies a twitter user name we both follow the user (using the folllow= predicate) and track on the user's username (using the track= predicate). Our assumption was that this would get structured replies and retweets (via the follow) and unstructured (via the track). This appears to not be the case. We never get some replies. For example: Tweet ID: 10942140971 was never received (in reply to me). Most of these appear to come from 3rd party clients - but this example came from the web. We can confirm (via our logs) that the tweet never comes in on the stream. Anyone else seeing anything like this or have a proven methodology for getting all mentions?

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Is there support for the OAuth 2-legged model?
You would use two-legged OAuth in conjunction with xAuth. For the requests your app makes that don't require a user, you'd use two-legged OAuth. The process for acquiring an accessToken in xAuth is itself almost a two-legged OAuth operation (just like the request token step). The way you formulate a two-legged request is essentially identical. The point of xAuth is to give you a path to exchange login and password for an access token. The intent is that you'll dispose of the logins and passwords and store only the access token to make requests on the users behalf. If the access token is manually expired by the user, you would ask them for their login information again and exchange for an access token again. The ultimate goal here is for there to be no justifiable reason for developers to retain logins and passwords. The URL of an application is not related to your use of an access token. However, if you have two websites, one about dogs and the other about cats for example, and I grant access to my twitter account for the dog website -- it would not be acceptable that the cat website also had access to my twitter account. Being above the board at all times about how far granted access goes is a best practice all should keep in mind. In this (admittedly silly) example, it would be the best practice to have two client applications/API keys registered with Twitter: one for the dogs site and one for the cats site.

Grantcv1 grant.vergott...@gmail.com Mar 23 08:50AM -0700 ^ Hi, I am building an app that will programmatically update my twitter status every hour or so. It will update my status from a server running without any interaction from me. From what I have learned, I should use OAuth rather than basic authentication. It seems that basic authentication is to shut down June 2010 (which seems rather soon). I have spent a day and a restless night reading OAuth specs and then dreaming about them all night long :( I am guessig that I need the 2- legged model rather than the 3-legged model as there is to be no user interaction and my consumer application wants access to a single user resource only - a resource it is directly tied to. Hence my application is both the consumer and the user. I have read the 2007 spec that was put out on the 2-legged model. I have also read the most recent OAuth 1.0a spec which seems to ignore the 2-legged model. Doing a search for 2-legged or two-legged on this website yields nothing which make me think that what I am trying to do - programmatically update a user status - isn't something anyone would want to do. As that seems totally unlikely, I am wondering if I am totally barking up the wrong tree. Can something help point me in the right direction?

[twitter-dev] Twitter on Mobile Phone
Hello all, I am currently working on a mobile website that will post updates to Twitter, using their API. I'm hoping to program this in Java code; PHP if it seems easier. I am having a bit of trouble trying to figure out the best way to do this, but I have a few basic questions that seemed to look like greek to me when I researched the wiki: 1. Can I mobilize an existing twitter web API? 2. What coding language are pages sending data to the API usually coded in? Java? PHP? XML? etc. 3. Is there a way for the twitter API to redirect the user back to the originating mobile site? I think if I can figure out these main questions, I might be on the right track.

[twitter-dev] Re: Missing replies to followed user (streaming api)
John - Here is a good example: These two tweets came in 2 minutes apart from 2 different 3rd party clients. We got one and not the other: http://bit.ly/cG9emM (Got this one) http://bit.ly/aFvimS (Not this one) No limit messages, re-connects or anything at all unusual about the stream activity during this period. Brian On Mar 23, 4:05 pm, briantroy brian.cosin...@gmail.com wrote: John - We rarely get limit messages - and no, none have coincided with missing replies. Our last limit message was yesterday at: NOTICE: TRACK - NOTICE: Mon, 22 Mar 2010 22:52:28 -0400 Stream is limited The track user is justsignal - the follow user is justsignalshad I'll have to dig through the logs to find the last re-connect time. Just as a note, I didn't get any of your test tweets (as a matter of fact the last I've gotten was at 2:24 pacific.

Brian On Mar 23, 3:31 pm, John Kalucki j...@twitter.com wrote: I couldn't trivially reproduce this. But, I'll say that I suspect that there may indeed be some sort of bug around tracking on screen names and not always getting all tweets. There might be some combination of text reply vs. explicit reply vs. protected vs. private vs. something that causes problems. I've just retested a few combinations, and they seem to work. Did you receive any limit messages on the stream? Could you have been track rate limited at the moment when this message was sent? If send your account and the time, in UTC, that you logged in the stream, I can look to see how many limit messages we've sent to you. -John Kaluckihttp://twitter.com/jkalucki Infrastructure, Twitter Inc.

Our methodology: If one of our users specifies a twitter user name we both follow the user (using the folllow= predicate) and track on the user's username (using the track= predicate). Our assumption was that this would get structured replies and retweets (via the follow) and unstructured (via the track). This appears to not be the case. We never get some replies. For example: Tweet ID: 10942140971 was never received (in reply to me). Most of these appear to come from 3rd party clients - but this example came from the web. We can confirm (via our logs) that the tweet never comes in on the stream. Anyone else seeing anything like this or have a proven methodology for getting all mentions?

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: 403 on duplicate post - when?
Several tweets back, with a several hour cool down. So you could tweet A, B, A, providing they're several hours a part. ---Mark http://twitter.com/mccv On Tue, Mar 23, 2010 at 6:41 PM, Tim Haines tmhai...@gmail.com wrote: Learnt something here. I knew you couldn't post the same tweet twice in a row. But Twitter is also blocking you from repeating a tweet you posted earlier in the day? So you can't Tweet: A B AThis one won't go through?
