OAuth signature is a short hash created from the data you are sending to
Twitter. You generate it by generating the Base String, and taking the
HMAC-SHA1 of this, using both your consumer key and the user's key
(resource owner's key, as the RFC calls them).

I have no idea how to do this with Abraham's PHP library, but I'm sure
that it is a lot easier than the way I just described (which is already
easy).

Hi,

There can be numerous reasons for a simple PHP error, but this one means
that you don't feed an array into foreach.

Which can also have numerous reasons. I think that, in your case, it may
be because of a 500 Internal Server Error which Twitter gives every now
and then. You should do some checks on the information you get from
Twitter before using it. ;-) Not all API calls always work.

 Is there any reason why using my custom short links we aren't getting

I have one theory and that is that the Twitter button caches the

that this works.

You should also make sure that you don't generate a new shortlink for

Hi Dean,

Thank you for trying out our app. You should check out our how it
works link (http://www.honestfollowers.com/howitworks.php). I just
went though your account and I can see you follow more than 500
people. According to us it is hard to keep up with all the updates
when someone follows that much amount of followers. Also when we check
several 100s of people who are honest followers we got to know the
maximum number a user can follow is 170. And if he is a client user
that number can be extended to 500. In your case you are exceeding the
limit which can make hard to you to follow all the updates. We are
trying to show you how many exactly honest followers you have and
those who read each and every tweet of yours. Also we have been
constantly making changes to make it perfect. I would love to hear
from you more about your experience on our site.

Thank you.

 OAuth and applications as entities themselves have no relation to

 Short answer: Whitelisting doesn't change for you.

 But during the phase out of basic auth, your whitelisted requests while

Also, in order to have the extended rate limit I currently have

   Hi Matt,

   I would like to point out that I think that you should stop worrying

   Your extended limit is IP-based and does not care about the type you use

[twitter-dev] Can I use the Twitter API to get tweets for a specific user and timeframe?

2010-08-16 Thread Ben H

I've been doing some research into using the Twitter API, and I'm not
sure if I'm understanding it correctly. I want to get tweets from a
specific user for a specific time-frame. From what I can tell, using
the search function to specify a date range doesn't work because only
the last 7 days are kept. I could just get the tweets and work out the
date range with JavaScript, but the documentation states the the max
you can get is 200 tweets, so if the tweets from the date range I want
aren't in the last 200 I can't do it.

Is there anyway I can do this?

Hi,

You should send theoauth_callback  parameter, as specified by the

Hi Tom,

I have tired sending oauth_callback, made sure that my callback url
matches exactly the one specified in twitter app setting, something like
this:

redirect_to @request_token.authorize_url + oauth_callback= +
CGI.escape(http://myhome.dnydns.org/callback;)

I am testing the site from home using dynamic dns setup, would this be
causing the problem?
Also in the call to OAuth::Consumer.new, should the http_method be :get
or :post ?
I've also changed :site=https://twitter.com; to, :site =
https://api.twitter.com;
I'm still not sure what I am doing wrong and I feel like I am chasing my
tail!

 

Hi Rajinder,

Sorry if you misunderstood my last message. You are supposed to send the
callback in your oauth_callback parameter. If you get the PIN page, then
you send oob - out-of-bands, as your oauth_callback.

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5849#section-2.1
Section 2.1 of RFC 5849 (OAuth 1.0) specifies oauth_callback as REQUIRED
- so, you are probably already sending it (either that, or Twitter
doesn't follow the specifications).

Also, it is a part of Section 2.1 of the OAuth specification - the part
where the client talks to the server. The line you changed was Section
2.2 - the redirection part.

Tom
   

Hi Tom,

I finally figured it out, the examples for RoR using OAuth seem to be 
stale. I was peeved at what seems to be a 'simple' process has to get so 
complicated.

Re: [twitter-dev] Reading Tweets on Date

Hi Anil,

There's no way to fixate the search API on a specific date in exactitude.
Instead, you could perform a query similar to the one you have in your
example here to bound the results until a certain date, then use the rpp and
page paramaters to paginate through the set iteratively, stopping when the
range steps out of the day you're focusing on. Depending on your query and
the number of tweets returned (and within the index of around ~5 days
currently of tweets), you may even get all your results in a single page.

Re: [twitter-dev] Tracking Twitter Client Statistics

Hi Victor,

Currently the best means to track these kind of statistics is likely by
maintaining them yourself. With an application on the iPhone platform, you
could utilize a local cache on the device, counting API actions and
interesting statistics, then batch push them to your own server for bulk
collection and analytics. Alternatively, you could also employ an analytics
service that supported ad-hoc data collection.

  Hi Developers,
 
  Basic authentication is being deprecated beginning on August 16th. After

 using
  only a login and password when accessing the Twitter REST API.
 
  For those that just like to skim, here are the basics:
 
- Basic Auth will be completely shut off on August 30th.
- Beginning Aug 17, basic auth rate limiting will decrease by 15
 requests
  on each week day (10% drop per weekday)
- Aug 16, 8am Pacific - we'll shut basic auth temporarily off for 10

- Aug 31, 5pm Pacific - we'll shut basic auth temporarily for 10
 minutes
- On August 30th, all basic auth requests will be served with a 401
 HTTP
  status code.
 
  We've discussed at length in the past why this transition is important.
 We
  recognize that it significantly increases the difficulty of working with
 the
  Twitter API. OAuth is not a silver bullet for security, but protects our
  users and the platform ecosystem notably better than basic
 authentication.
 
  Today, non-whitelisted basic authentication GET requests are limited to
 150
  calls per hour. POST operations, such as tweeting, are not effected by
 this
  limit. Basic auth apps can continue tweeting with impunity until the full
  turn off occurs on August 31st.
 
  Beginning August 17th, non-whitelisted basic authentication GET requests
  will be limited to 135 calls per hour. We will reduce the number of calls
  per hour by 15 each week day until August 31st. This means on August 18th
  Basic Authentication will be allowed 120 GET requests per hour, August
 19th
  105 GET requests per hour and so on. The decrement will happen on each
  Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday until August 31st.
 
  For whitelisted basic auth requests, the decrement will be comparative to
  the general ramp down levels -- about 10% of your total rate limit will
  decrement every day starting on August 16th. On August 31st, whitelisted
  basic auth requests will cease functioning as well.
 
  On August 31st, all basic auth requests will be serviced a 401 HTTP
 status
  code.
 
  You may have noticed that we temporarily shut basic authentication off
 today
  for 10 minutes. We gave minimal notice today, and recognize that more
 notice
  would have been optimal. We will be doing these integration tests a few
 more
  times before the total deprecation date.
 
  The next basic auth switch-off will occur on Monday, August 16th at 8am
  Pacific for 10 minutes. After that, we'll do another of these tests on
  Thursday, August 19th at 5pm Pacific for another 10 minutes. We'll do
 more
  of these after that, and we'll announce them closer to that time. As

Also in Facebook UI you can have a simple one line of JS to test if

   I am sure Twitter dev team can implement this easily. The benefit to a
   site owner is that if I know that a user has just Tweeted about my
   page, I therefore know that a user has a Twitter account, then I can
   show some prompt to ask a user to join my site with their Twitter
   account, I can also show a custom message like Thank you for sharing
   this page on Twtitter as well as can do many other things, even
   recording some data to my database to keep track which of my
   registered users has shared pages.

   All I need is some sort of a callback function to be fired on closing
   of that window.
   This could be some sort of custom event that I can subscribe to or
   some sort of callback function.

   Does this make sense?

[twitter-dev] Access Token updating on App page

2010-08-16 Thread Evan Anderson

I've seen that read, read + write access is based on access tokens,
and you can request new access tokens if you update your settings.

However, It seems that the access tokens Twitter gives you explicitly
on an app's settings page don't update to reflect this when you update
your app's access settings. I was just curious if the twitter dev team
was aware of this and any indication if they will update the access
tokens in the future to reflect an app's access setting.

[twitter-dev] Re: Introducing the Tweet Button

I just posted a WP plugin that uses the dataurl attribute to make the
tweet button work with awe.sm, bit.ly, su.pr, and tinyurl:

It also allows multi-author blogs to automatically add the post author
to the recommended users screen after the tweet.

I am seeing the issue with awe.sm links. It seems unlikely, but my

I have one theory and that is that the Twitter button caches the

You should also make sure that you don't generate a new shortlink for

Good point, Evan.

In the mean time -- if you go and explicitly reject your access token on

 Is there any official, white-hat way to accomplish this? It is a

You mean *from* your company's account? With OAuth, you don't need
username/password, because these are replaced by credentials. It's still
very much possible.

If you mean *to* your account, then you will need the credentials of the
users, like you normally would. This would be done via OAuth, or the
easy way which is called @Anywhere - simple javascript which you can put
on your website, allowing your users to Tweet from your website without
a lot of implementation work.

Just 2 options - a lot more is possible ;-)

Hi,

The error you get is the error people get when not sending the oauth

Also, you should pass the timestamp in seconds since the unix epoch, not
in milliseconds.

If this does not solve it, please show me one of your Base Strings.

Re: [twitter-dev] Streaming API limits

2010-08-16 Thread Matt Harris

Hi Thiago,

We allow each account to have one standing connection to the streaming API.
Multiple connections receive the same stream of Tweets so connecting
multiple times would not give access to any more Tweets. If you need more to
have more track keywords you can contact us explaining your use case so the
team can make a decision and if necessary grant you higher access.

You can read more about access and rate limiting on the streaming API in our
developer documentation:
  http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_concepts#access-rate-limiting

Hope that helps,

Re: [twitter-dev] What's the status of OAuth2 API?

Hi there,

@Anywhere does use some elements of OAuth2 for its authentication process

OAuth2 is a gaggle of authentication methods rolled into one, and we've yet
to decide which profiles we'll support.

[twitter-dev] oauth friends_timeline request

httpClient.open('GET','http://twitterName:twitterp...@api.twitter.com/
1/statuses/friends_timeline/username.json?count=3');

Given the above, where do the oauth_token and oauth_token_secret
values figure? I realize this question is a bit vague in terms of
concrete code but I'm pretty good at interpretation, if someone has a
verbose example of what I'm trying to do in php or vbscript or
something I can probably translate to what appcelerator/twitter
requires.

With the above, you would make a Base String, in your case :
baseString = method + '' + urlencode(url) + '' + urlencode(body)
method = GET
url = http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/friends_timeline/username.json
body = oauth_* and count=3, sorted in alphabetical order

You would then take the HMAC-SHA1 hash of this base string (using your
oauth secret and that of the user) which is your signature.

When you have the signature, you put all the values in the
Authorization: header and do the actual request.

Sounds simple. It is, but it may take some coding :-)

[twitter-dev] Is something broken in signon?

I'm getting some strange messages - Twitter thinks I'm trying to sign  
in too often and is shutting me out. Is that on Twitter's end, or do I  
have some rogue process on my workstation?


I think I killed everything - I was testing some open source clients  
but they're supposedly all shut down.

[twitter-dev] 404 and statuses/friends_timeline.xml

2010-08-16 Thread nyj2005

Hi all,

I started receiving a 404 error when calling
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/friends_timeline.xml from my
website. I have a php cron script that runs every 5 minutes and it had
worked fine for months until just a few days ago when I noticed that
the twitter feed stopped being updated. I tried running the script
manually and saw the 404 response. The same script runs just fine from
my local machine.

Here's the response I get on my website:

Array
(
[url] = http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/friends_timeline.xml?count=100
[content_type] = text/html; charset=UTF-8
[http_code] = 404
[header_size] = 200
[request_size] = 150
[filetime] = -1
[ssl_verify_result] = 0
[redirect_count] = 0
[total_time] = 0.065588
[namelookup_time] = 0.002289
[connect_time] = 0.032684
[pretransfer_time] = 0.032689
[size_upload] = 0
[size_download] = 498
[speed_download] = 7592
[speed_upload] = 0
[download_content_length] = 498
[upload_content_length] = -1
[starttransfer_time] = 0.065525
[redirect_time] = 0
)

Thanks

 Looks great!! It doesn't seem to be putting the button on pages,  
 though - just posts. I check the box, hit the Save button, and it  
 comes back unchecked.
