[twitter-dev] Using oauth-python-twitter
Hi!
I'm using oauth-python-twitter to develop a browser/server application
and everything (including auth) works fine, including the
GetUserInfo(), but none of the other API functions work.
This is the error I'm getting:
File /home/xxx/www/web/Register.py, line 61, in activate
twitter.CreateFriendship(elver)
File /home/xxx/www/lib/twitter.py, line 1971, in CreateFriendship
json = self._FetchUrl(url, post_data={})
File /home/xxx/www/lib/oauthtwitter.py, line 104, in _FetchUrl
url_data = opener.open(url).read()
File /usr/lib64/python2.6/urllib2.py, line 389, in open
response = meth(req, response)
File /usr/lib64/python2.6/urllib2.py, line 502, in http_response

http_error_default
raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp)
HTTPError: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request
Pretty much the same thing happens with every other Twitter API
function I try to use through oauth-python-twitter.
User danjacob.beaulieu described a very similar issue in the oauth-
python-twitter project page comments on October 15, 2009 here:
http://code.google.com/p/oauth-python-twitter/wiki/HowToUseOAuthApi
He has not gotten a reply yet.
Does anyone know what's going on? Anyone seen the same error?
Best,

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter backup script
I've tried your script on Mac, it only works for first 3 pages that's weird (i'm running darwin ports for xml functions)... Anyway, tried manually do it through firefox, latest page is 16. That's the limit. But if you have the ID of the previous tweets you could use statuses/SHOW for that ID... the problem is: IF you are backing up your account because you have all your tweet IDs, you will need 1 request per tweet, and maximum is 350 (with HUGE luck) per hour In my case, I got 10k, 3k via REST and 7k left to do... 7 THOUSAND REQUEST??? Come on twitter, help us, developers, start thingking on backups, we know you are gonna explode!.

[twitter-dev] Re: Incorrect signature with oAuth
Hi Carlos: It works!!! Thanks for the tips. I set the header to the one one the GoogleCode page. I also removed the spaces in the header. I was getting the same signature as the GoogleGode page (Im using pure C++ here so I have a set of libs for SHA/Base64) so there was some concern. While C++ shotguning I tried to update status with the footer line: status=woowow AND IT WORKS! NOTE: As you can see the footer is NOT url encoded. I think what Twitter wants is all of the characters AFTER the 'status=' to be url encoded. NOT the 'status=' Time for the C++ dance, Thanks Carlos!

Also check your signature generation method using the following:http://oauth.googlecode.com/svn/code/javascript/example/signature.html and see if you are getting the same signature values.

[twitter-dev] OAuth Echo difference between TwitPic and MobyPicture
I'm trying OAuth Echo upload in various OAuth Echo enabled providers. I was successful on TwitPic but not on MobyPicture. Difference between two services seems to be the endpoint url and api key. But MobyPicture causes connection reset by peer. Is there anything else I need? Andy Matsubara

[twitter-dev] Get just the IDs for a lists members
I'm looking to do do some analysis on twitter lists. I'd like to be able to retrieve the list of all users that are members of a list -- but all I need are the User IDs. Is there a way to get a list of members (up to 5,000) like we can with the call followers/ids and friends/ids? Right now, we can only retrieve 20 members at a time -- which requires many API calls for large lists and wastes bandwidth as I don't need all the user data. Thanks.
