[twitter-dev] Search API: searching for Don and finding don't instead
We have a user that is causing us to create a search of the form: Don SomeLastName which is returning tweets containing don't and SomeLastName. Thats a no good! Is there a decent workaround for this by modifying the search? e.g. Don SomeLastName -don't but how do you escape the single quote? Like this? Don SomeLastName -don't

Actually, as I understand it, authentication for that purpose would be
necessary only if the user was keeping their account private or
something.
I'm very mindful of this because this is something I've been obsessed
with over the past two days and nights. I've been saving my followers
into a database and remotely saving their avatars for the purpose of
not hitting rate limits.
I've tried lots of stuff and had previously used simplexml heavily,

Here is an example (use with PHP):

same with user name instead

[twitter-dev] Re: Redirect to user's profile page via API
Sorry , perhaps I have not explained well my problem.
I have done OAuth authentication, I can use Twitter API.
But now I must add a link to my page that if the user click on this
link I redirect to twitter's user profile.
My problem is that if the user is not logged in twitter he has to do
every time the login.
I would ask if there is a way using the Twitter OAuth API to do a
automatic login to Twitter so when user click on the link on my page
he is automatically redirect on his twitter user's profile.

[twitter-dev] basic auth deprecation and GFW
Hi, I'm writing to express a little concern about the upcoming deprecation of basic authentication. I have developed several twitter api apps and I understand the great advantages of using oauth for authentication, but it has one major downfall that makes things complicated here in china. That downfall is that you need to actually go to twitter.com in order to authenticate with the app. Since twitter is blocked in china, that is difficult. Most twitter users in china likely use an api proxy or some third party software and being able to use basic auth makes it possible without a vpn to access the twitter api. In the same breath, I applaud the recent purchase of tweetie. It is the app of choice for people scaling the great firewall on the iphone. It has easy options to add an api proxy and it is widely used. I hope that with the deprecation of oauth, this app that I once paid for will not suddenly become unuseable. I appreciate all of your efforts. thanks, scott

[twitter-dev] Re: Yet another Failed to validate oauth signature and token while requesting a token
Thanks for the reply Taylor.
So to get a request token, should I send a POST request with no body?
I'm basing my code around the documentation at http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth
which says:
Go for the gold. Go for header-based OAuth.
Fair enough. Under Acquiring a request token it also says:
Twitter's end point for the request token step is
http://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token. You should use the POST HTTP
method when using this end point.
Given this, I've changed my request to the following:
POST http://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token HTTP/1.1
Host: api.twitter.com
Pragma: no-cache
Accept: */*
Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive
Authorization: OAuth oauth_nonce=0628cff78ee32e99ab45c614057c67c4,

oauth_consumer_key=tm5...DOg, oauth_signature=LrteVeKYd%2F6QYnKM8kl
%2BswW8GcA%3D, oauth_version=1.0
Still, I'm getting the Failed to validate oauth signature and token.
I've also tried this as a GET request (changing the signature to
reflect the change in method); still no luck.
What am I doing wrong? Am I URL encoding something where I shouldn't
be? Am I not URL encoding something I should be? I'm running ntpdate
to keep the system clock in sync with pool.ntp.org and I've verified
that my nonce is amongst the requests I'm sending.
Any further help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Craig

Hi Craig,
It looks like you are passing oauth_* parameters in your POST body in
addition to the OAuth HTTP headers. It's really a choice between one or the
other -- either you send the oauth_* parameters in a HTTP header or you send
them in either a POST body or querystring.
When using HTTP header based auth (which I always recommend) the only query
parameters in a query string or POST body are ones that are directly related
to the resource your are requesting or posting data to.

[twitter-dev] OAuth Echo problem in python
Hello,
I am in the process of writing a python web app that should enable the
user to post picture to twitpic using the Oauth Echo authorization
mechanism.
The application is already able to post tweet using the Oauth
authentication so the access_token is available to us in the session.
So my question to you guys is that it would be great if someone could
point what is the issue in the code below or paste some sample code
that upload a picture in python to twitpic.
# OauthRequest is from the python-oauth lib
# I overide the to_header method to return a dict with the right key.
class TwitpicOAuthRequest(OAuthRequest):
def to_header(self, realm='http://api.twitter.com/'):
headers = super(TwitpicOAuthRequest,
self).to_header(realm=realm)
return {'X-Verify-Credentials-Authorization':

def post_photo(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = PhotoForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if not request.session.get('twitter_access_token'):
return HttpResponse(Not authenticated)
if form.is_valid():
access_token = request.session['twitter_access_token']
params = {
'oauth_consumer_key': settings.TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY,
'oauth_signature_method':HMAC-SHA1,
'oauth_token':access_token.key,
'oauth_timestamp':oauth.generate_timestamp(),

}
consumer =
oauth.OAuthConsumer(key=settings.TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY,

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Redirect to user's profile page via API
As far as an application is concerned, the logged in/logged out state of the Twitter user is immaterial. The REST API is stateless and does not pertain to a session state. Your application should have no concern about the logged in status of a user. Landing on a Twitter profile URL does not require a login, regardless of the protected attribute of the Twitter user. If the user is logged out and lands on a protected user's page, they will still see an abbreviated version of the page, noting that the user has protected their tweets. If the user is unprotected, they get a standard logged-out version of the profile page.

Re: [twitter-dev] What is the condition of status is duplicated?
We tune the duplicate tweet detection algorithm regularly, so it's difficult to say with any hard rules at what point a tweet will be considered a duplicate -- it's not necessarily time-based and more tuned toward the contents of the last few tweets issued by the user account. If you're use case is such that you'd be issuing the same tweet multiple times, you might want to provide some kind of unique string to each tweet, or otherwise insure that the tweet is not a duplicate.

[twitter-dev] Re: What is the condition of status is duplicated?
Taylor, I don't understand. Why would Twitter on the one hand do duplicate checking and on the other hand advise people to add some kind of unique string to the tweet to circumvent the duplicate checking? You're basically saying it's okay for an application to automatically add a randomly generated string of nonsense to each tweet, to ensure it is unique and will thwart Twitter's duplication content prevention measures. Isn't that a perfect exercise in self-defeat, or what the military folks call chickenshit?

Re: [twitter-dev] What is the condition of status is duplicated?
People use Twitter differently. Duplicate prevention is mainly a protection for standard user use cases and spam protection. There is value in programmatic use of Twitter that is outside of typical user experiences, and there are corner cases where duplicate tweets can be useful. I'm not here to tell you how to use Twitter. On Thursday, June 3, 2010, Dewald Pretorius dpr...@gmail.com wrote: Taylor, I don't understand.

Taylor, It's about creating confusion and uncertainty. Is Twitter not going to suspend a user or an application that generates duplicate content, and appends a randomly generated string of nonsense to each tweet to thwart your duplicate prevention measures? I see this notion of we don't want to tell you how to use Twitter more and more. It also came to out of the advertisement banning thing the other day. In principle it is good. But, to what extent is Twitter really serious about that? Every one of the Twitter rules tells me and everyone else how we must and mustn't use Twitter.

[twitter-dev] Tweetbox with default text
hi- when I make a tweetbox with default text, the Tweet button is grayed out. Only when I click inside the text area of the tweetbox does the Tweet button become clickable. Is there anyway to make it clickable without someone having to click inside the box? The default text doesn't usually need to modified so I found myself clicking the grayed out button over and over thinking it was not working rather than inactive.
[twitter-dev] Twitter API blocks/exists does not work
Hello All,
When accessing the blocks/exists api, I do not get valid reponses:
In the console:
{
request: /1/blocks/exists.json,
error: Not found
}
(example:
http://dev.twitter.com/console/recall?client_application_id=144824content_type=jsonmethod=GETparam-keys[]=idparam-vals[]=twitterapipath=blocks%2Fexistsversion=1)
When using xAuth:
{request:/1/blocks/exists.json?
screen_name=twitterapi,error:Incorrect signature}
All my other requests (including authentication and posting) work just
fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jim

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: OAuth Echo problem in python
Hi Yann,
I don't see anything obvious that stands out as wrong to me in your
implementation from just looking at it, but I'm not sure. I do have OAuth Echo
code working for Twitpic but using the OAuth2 library. If you don't figure out
an answer, you can hit me up off the list and I'll see if I separate our
version so it works independently and I'll post it on gist for you.
If you want to upgrade though to python-oauth2, the biggest change is swapping
out your imports to use oauth2 instead of oauth and removing the OAuth prefix
on all the class names.
For example:
import oauth
oauth.OAuthRequest(...)
oauth.OAuthToken(...)
becomes:
import oauth2
oauth2.Request(...)
oauth2.Token(...)
etc...
Most of the API that you care about is identical from there. The library has
evolved a bit but it should be obvious and most of the public methods remained
the same. In my fork, I've fixed a few issues and added some changes to support
XAuth and a few other minor issues (like forcing Authentication headers on
POSTs for Twitter).

Zac,
I would love to do this but I can't find any documentation on how to do Oauth

It may not help fix your problem but I would recommend upgrading to the
python-oauth2 library. (Don't be confused by the name; it's not an oauth 2.0
library, but just the next generation of the original oauth 1.0a library that
Leah Culver wrote). There are bunch of little issues with the original one
that don't follow the spec exactly that are fixed and it's not a difficult
upgrade (as long as your are not hosting an OAuth server of your own because
those interfaces changed considerably).

The OAuth Request needs to be signed using the Twitter Endpoint
(https://api.twitter.com/1/account/verify_credentials.json), not the
Twitpic API URL.
Try something like this:
oauth_request = TwitpicOAuthRequest(http_method=GET,

[twitter-dev] users/lookup not working for JSON
I might be overlooking something, but it seems like users/lookup isn't
working. I tried it using my app credentials and got the following
message:
{
errors: [
{
code: 17,
message: No user matches for specified terms
}
]
}
Just to be sure, I went to http://dev.twitter.com/console and entered
the parameters from the documentation
http://api.twitter.com/1/users/lookup.xml?user_id=1401881,1401882
http://api.twitter.com/1/users/lookup.xml?screen_name=dougw,raffi
I tried
1. user_id in the left field and 1401881,1401882 then followed
that unsuccessful attempt with
2. screen_name and dougw,raffi in the right field
The second setting was attempted using both GET and POST with
JSON selected as output, and I got the same message.
After trying a bunch of combinations, using XML seemed to still work,
but no more JSON.

[twitter-dev] Annotations with data types
This is the feedback I gave to Twitter as part of the hackfest. Sharing it
here, hoping that we could discuss the idea further.
Lack of strictly defined data-types is going to be like a dynamic
programming language. Every client will have to do it's own type checking.
For example, an annotation currently specifies the location using latitude
longitude as :
location : {
latitude : 45.4,
longitude : 15.2
}
Now each client would have to check if the numbers are valid floating point
numbers.
What if you suggest a data-type to be appended after the attribute name? for
example:
location : {
latitude_float : 45,
longitude_float : 15
}
Then, when the annotated tweet is being created, Twitter itself can check if
the value conforms to the data type. So all clients can reliably use these
types.
Suggestions for data-types:
int : Integer
float : Floating point number
url : A well formed URL

[twitter-dev] Annotations in Twitter.com HTML
Hi, I was just thinking regarding the newly proposed annotations, would it be possible to embed the annotations into the HTML of Twitter.com? Currently, information such as status id, creation date etc are included in the HTML tags, which allow some interesting Chrome/Firefox plugins to be developed. If annotations are included as well, you can develop some very interesting and useful browser plugins I believe. What does anyone think about this? Adam
