Sorry - I could have been clearer.

I wish to access say the last 100 Tweets by a given user via an app. Does my
app need to access this data via a Twitter account or can it do this without
one, like in search api.

Hope that helped,

Hi,

I am aware that the Search API does not demand sign-in/authentication.

However, am I correct that if I want to find out all posts by any given
user, I will have to Oauthenticate my app? Which means I can do it only
through an authorized Twitter user?

Thanks,

Hi Noah,

You could simply get all followers for the user via this API :
http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/followers/ids

Then you can check if the person follows you or not by matching the user
id to that list.

Hello all,

Is there an efficient method to determine if a bunch of users follow
the authenticating user?  I'm trying to show the authenticating user
which people returned by statuses/mentions (or the stream, or
whatever) can be direct messaged -- without calling friendships/exists
for each one.

In an earlier post from April ("Bulk User Relationship Lookup?"),
Raffi Krikorian mentioned development of friendships/lookup, which
seems just right.  Does anyone know the status of that method?

Re: [twitter-dev] search "randomly" limits result set

2010-08-10 Thread M. Edward (Ed) Borasky

I sometimes do a search back in time for all the tweets from Portland,  
Oregon. What I've found is that there seems to be a limit on the total  
number of tweets I can get that is independent of time. The last time  
I ran this, IIRC it returned about 3 tweets. So I suspect the  
answer is "3 tweets or as far back as the index exists, whichever  
is smaller."

I used this approach, it works well. The application authorizes itself
to load some information about other peoples' profiles via screen
names. The users then authorize themselves to post messages to their

No and yes.

No: if there's no specific API for it, then there's no easy way.
Yes: You can build a follower-tree (A follows B, B follows C, C follows
D, etc) from the original tweep, but that may take a lot of time
depending on the amount of retweets, and should probably only be used
for research purposes.

[twitter-dev] Retweet Chains, and retweets of retweets

2010-08-10 Thread manggit

Hello All,

I am currently developing an app for a open source project. I would
like to first obtain all direct child retweets of a given tweet, and
then I would like to find all retweets of each of the child retweets,
so on and so forth, until i reach the end of the retweet chain.
However given the new style retweets, the api function call returns
all retweets of a given tweet, including retweets of retweets, as
retweets of the original tweet. Therefore I am unable to follow the
progression of a tweet and gather information on whether a retweet is
a retweet of the original tweet, or if the retweet is of a retweet.

Is there anyway to obtain this information using the status_retweet
api function call, or any clever combination of any of the api
functions?


Any support will be greatly appreciated

[twitter-dev] HELP on the query rate limit and throttle control

2010-08-10 Thread Carrie

I am querying friends/ids following
https://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-friends%C2%A0ids
I am using @stcllama credentials.

http://api.twitter.com/1/account/rate_limit_status.json returns that,
for this account:
{"remaining_hits":1,"hourly_limit":2,"reset_time_in_seconds":
1281468090,"reset_time":"Tue Aug 10 19:21:30 + 2010"}

I was trying to monitor the HTTP response header for thottle control,
X-FeatureRateLimit-Limit
X-FeatureRateLimit-Remaining
X-FeatureRateLimit-Reset

HOWEVER, I noticed that, after successful API calls, the http response
header shows my query rate limit is 150 per hour.  here's an example:

Proxy-Connection : Keep-Alive
Connection : Keep-Alive
Status : 200 OK
X-Transaction : 1281429482-1586-27456
X-RateLimit-Limit : 150

X-Runtime : 0.01589
Pragma : no-cache
X-RateLimit-Class : api
X-Revision : DEV
X-RateLimit-Reset : 1281430902

Is it that I shouldn't have looked at the http response for throttle
control for this friends/ids API?
If so,  can you suggest how I shall control my crawl rate?

Thank you ~~~

[twitter-dev] Re: 101 HELP: How to update status using Javascript/jSON?

2010-08-10 Thread Brian Medendorp

Without any further information, I am going to guess that it's
probably an OAuth issue. Unfortunately, I don't think that you will be
able to use jQuery to do this. I'm betting that the API methods you
are calling with jQuery don't require any OAuth authentication. I
suppose it's possible that you could do all of the OAuth negotiation
and signing with straight javascript (because you'll have to build the
HTTP request yourself, instead of the very handy jQuery AJAX
functions), but it's not going to be easy. You'll probably have much
better luck using a server side scripting language (such as PHP, Perl,
Phython, Ruby, etc)

There is a list of OAuth libraries available here:
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/oauth_libraries

Apparently there is actually a Javascript OAuth library, but as they
mention on that page you probably shouldn't use it (because among
other things you'll likely end up exposing your Consumer token and
secret to anyone looking at your source code).

Thanks, Taylor.

And to clarify my understanding:

The Search API is the only entry point for "compound" searches, yes? I.e., if I 
want to get Tweets from multiple users in a single call?

Also, the REST API does not support searching for hash tags in any form, yes? 
So the Search API is the only means for that?

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter oAuth for PHP, some advice needed

2010-08-10 Thread Skygazer

Hi everyone,

I'm in the same boat as Paul G. My company publishes updates to
Twitter whenever we post a new story. To date our code using basic
authentication was working great. Now we're switching over to OAUTH
using Abraham Williams library. I setup an app on Twitter's
development site, got my keys and tokens and tried using the PHP
twitteroauth library, but on my test server I can't even get the
example to work. I get the "Could not connect to Twitter. Refresh the
page or try again later" message. I've got the library running on my
Mac Pro with Apache running on a port-forward.

I'll note that when I created the app I used application type: browser
and callback url: blank

Any help would be appreciated. Code always welcome :-)

Re: [twitter-dev] Wrong GEOCODE results

2010-08-10 Thread Jonathan Reichhold

Daniel,

The search index only cover <7 days worth of content, and a tweet from July
17th is older than 7 days.  This has nothing to do with your geocode and is
an issue with the depth of the index.

Geo is not the only signal used for location and you may also have place ids
other sources.

Re: [twitter-dev] search "randomly" limits result set

The search API's available corpus of tweets for search varies -- it's not
always exactly a week, as tweet velocity has an effect on how many tweets
can be made readily available for searching. Search also contains only a
portion of the total amount of tweets in the system at any one time:

Re: [twitter-dev] The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.

Can you share how you're making the request? With what language and library?
When we return an error we usually include more information than just the
status code. Was there any structured data in the response indicating the
reason it may be forbidden?

What's the exact URL and POST body you are executing? What HTTP headers are
you setting?

Re: [twitter-dev] Sign in automatically

Hi Diogo,

If you're intent is to provide access to multiple users for the same Twitter
account, at this time it'd be best for you to obtain an access token for the
Twitter account and your application (we offer a feature on
dev.twitter.comthat makes this very easy, you can find it in the
sidebar while viewing one
of your applications: "My Access Token") and hard code that into the
application. That way, all API actions taken in your application will be on
behalf of the single user.

Tom: Contributors as an API hasn't been fully baked yet and is still in very
limited rollout.

No. With oAuth, you get a pair of keys. You can change these keys at any
time (assuming that you only use your own keys, and don't provide the
login system which OAuth allows) and they can only be used in
combination with your own application.

All the information I've read re: rate limits should put 15 tweets
well below that. Further, although the API docs suggest the data for
the Search API is indexed only for the last seven days, I would still
expect to see tweets for all of the last seven days, rather than only
five (e.g., the first search should have returned more Tweets dating
back to Aug 3.

All in all the API does not appear to be working as advertised,
however, I may be missing the fine print.

Is there a limit on the # of days back which the search parameters
will reach? And what is it?
Is there a limit on the # of tweets that will be returned? And what is
it?

Thank you in advance!

[twitter-dev] Sign in automatically

2010-08-10 Thread Diogo

Hello, I'm developing a system for a company where the employees can
read and answer tweets from a single account. It is working, but not
using oAuth. I read that Twitter will no longer support the basic
authentication.
The question is, if I change the authentication to oAuth, everybody
will have to know the username and password of Twitter account and
sign in manually to begin work?

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: OAuth and a readonly app

The other kind of OAuth is called "two-legged OAuth," where the only
identifying party is the application itself. There may be a future where
some resources are available via two-legged OAuth but we haven't decided
anything for sure yet.

My opinion:

It depends. If you want to track a lot of keywords, you should use
streaming. If you track only one keyword, then both are an option,
depending on the amount of tweets for the hashtag. If you have a lot of
keywords but they vary (for example, when users can add/remove hashtags)
then you should consider a combination of both, where you reset the
stream every hour and update it with new hashtags, and use the REST API
for the hashtags that get added in the hour. After all, you don't want
to reconnect too often.

Every Tweet you send via the Twitter API via OAuth will have it. I'm not
sure about @Anywhere, although I imagine that it's the same. If you send
via the web-interface, then it will have Web. If you send via Basic Auth
and don't include an application name, it will say "via API".

[twitter-dev] Re: OAuth and a readonly app

2010-08-10 Thread Brian Medendorp

I had to do the same thing for something I am working on, it's not
very ideal, but it seems to be the only way to get the job done.

There is supposed to be a second type of OAuth that allows that sort
of one-way communication (basically the same thing but without the
user's tokens), but it seems that no one has implemented that (and I
can't remember the name they gave it).

[twitter-dev] Wrong GEOCODE results

2010-08-10 Thread Daniel

Hi!

This is the thirth time I post this problem and no body may help me.
This is a very important problem than only occurs in some countries of
South America as Chile, Argentina, Peru.

This is a clear problem related to the geocode query...

I'm trying to make a search query with GEOCODE params but this is not
working propperly.

I created this geolocalizated tweet with echofon:

http://twitter.com/DanielAtik/status/18794641441

As you may see here is the lat, lon of this tweet:

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=-33.437790,-70.635895

But if I make a search with search API this tweet does not appears as
you can see:

http://search.twitter.com/search.json?geocode=-33.437790,-70.635895,2km

or for delimeted more:

http://search.twitter.com/search.json?geocode=-33.437790,-70.635895,2...

As you may see at returned JSON, the tweets has not GEO values. Is
there anything wrong?? Any help may be appreciated ;)

[twitter-dev] search for hashtags

2010-08-10 Thread bitstream

Hi all,
I've been reading api docs lately but still can't figure it out what
will be the best approach when searching for hashtags.
streaming
I know that streaming api support statuses/filter where I can declare
'track'. It's possible to use statuses/filter and add a track on
'%23hashtag' ?

search
Or use a simple approach by calling search api and parse response from
something like this: http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=%23hashtag

I call that Twitter's AI. Twitter knows that you are a developer and
instead of putting 2, it put it in binary - 10!

Although it's most likely a bug.

Thanks Taylor! Maybe this could be moved to the API documentation.

I can report that once, after creating (for the first time) a list
called 'Awesome', a second 'Awesome' list got the slug, 'awesome-10'.
So I just considered the slug to be unpredictable.

Also, I wouldn't mind knowing the rationale behind allowing same-named
lists. We won't be allowing that through our app.

[twitter-dev] Re: OAuth and a readonly app

2010-08-10 Thread Karthik

Yes. But, you don't need a separate Twitter account. Just create an
OAuth app in one of your existing twitter accounts, note down the
OAuth tokens, get your own account's access tokens from "My Access
Token" link. You can use these tokens to enjoy the 350 per hour limit.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized

The error 401 is at initail stage now as I said below is the error I think
it is not resolving the ports properly.Because it is running on port 
but not working on any other port.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized

Ah, okay, you mean the .NET error page.

Well, to be honest, I don't know a bit about .NET. Luckily, I do know
how Twitter works :-) Can you show a dump of the request to Twitter?
(Could it be that the error you get is because Twitter generates a 401
error? In that case, your signature generation may be wrong.)

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Can we automate the user login process on twitter...

It is not. You should simply store the keys in a cookie (which is safe,
as long as you don't leak the consumer keys).

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized

Sorry for the double post, but I just realized: is your public IP
firewalled? That could possibly be the issue.

Also, is the error you are getting a Firefox (or any browser) error, or
an OAuth/Twitter error?

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized

Oh, it's the same computer? In that case, my timestamp issue doesn't apply.

You should check that all localhost URLs have been removed and changed
to the public addresses. That's all I can think of - like I already
said, OAuth (and Twitter) doesn't really care about IP addresses.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized

Hi,

Thanks, for the  reply,

But then why site working from the localhost on the same Computer.But If I
accessed it from Public IP it returns error.

Thanks,

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized

Twitter doesn't really care about IPs - unless you are doing things
really, really, really wrong.

Assuming that the signature generation stays the same (some platforms
have little-endian BO, big-endian BO, etc, and that may change the
algorithm a bit, but when windows->windows that doesn't really apply),
the most likely cause of this error is the timestamp of the computer
running the application.
