[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter Bulk User Lookup API returning information about unknown users while missing valid users!!
[SOLED] tks for noticing, but the problem has been solved. Twitter was just returning user information for screen_names with the corresponding screen_name changed to CORRECT Case if it' s wrong in the original request. So from the pastebin page - http://pastebin.com/VDT7xuCV print set([each.screen_name.lower() for each in ret]).issubset(set([each.lower() for each in screen_names])) True (Was False if I don't normalize screen_names to lowercase) On Oct 10, 10:51 pm, ashish_0x90 ashish.nopc...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, Twitter Bulk User Lookup API (http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST- API-Method:-users-lookup) seems to be have given two problems. 1) Random users which were not part of the screen_names parameter passed. 2) is missing valid existing users from the results.

[twitter-dev] Re: How is the newTwitter getting Replies to this Tweet?
Will there been anything in the tweet payload to let us know that it has replies, or will we need to make requests to the related_results just to find out? Sort of thing I was thinking was in the timeline you have a tweet along the lines of Dear lazy web, where's the best place to go for pizza in London?, and I was hoping to display 12 replies to this tweet or someone has replied to this tweet. Then when clicking on the tweet an extended page would show all the replies. Thanks Ryan On Sep 21, 12:05 am, Taylor Singletary taylorsinglet...@twitter.com wrote: Outstanding.

When a status contains an in_reply_to_status_id field, then it is considered a reply to a preceding status, which is then fetched by requesting the particular status referenced by in_reply_to_status_id. This is why you'll see that the implementation in #newtwitter doesn't list *replies to* the current status, but instead the original status that sparked the reply-to. These can be chained but in many cases can never show the whole picture easily. It would great if we had a statuses/:id/replies method to return all statuses that reference the original status -- would be very useful in this context.

Re: [twitter-dev] Response format details?
in_reply_to_status_id is populated when a tweet is a reply to another tweet. The status_id in this context refers to the tweet being replied to. For this field to be populated, the reply tweet also must begin with the @username of the user being replied to. A @reply in XML: http://gist.github.com/620548#file_reply.xml in_reply_to_user_id indicates the @user being mentioned by primary key id, which never changes for the member though the screen name might. in_reply_to_user_id may be populated on a @mention (which does not have a referenced tweet in in_reply_to_status_id). A @mention in XML: http://gist.github.com/620548#file_mention.xml And while Thomas is right that it's great to explore with an API console, I'd personally recommend that API console at http://app.apigee.com/console/twitter instead of the one we provide on dev.twitter.com.

OAuth 2.0 allows a scope parameter. Twitter has plans for OAuth 2.0, so I'd assume that they will include this parameter in their OAuth 2.0 update. Just don't count on it anytime soon.

[twitter-dev] No of statuses extracted by statuses/filter
Hi everybody!
I'm designing an app to do some mining over a corpus of tweets.
I think I'll use streaming api, statuses/filter filtering by keywords.
I'd like to know, before starting development, what is the percentage
of tweets delivered by this stream over the total tweets ('meaning
total tweets' the total of tweets that have the tracking keywords) .
This is information is crucial because of statistical confidence: a
very little sample may not be significant.
Addittionally, Ive been googling and reading a lot for 3 days and I
can't figure out how i can use different 'level accesses'.
I've read http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_methods#statuses-filter
but how can I use this different levels levels of access?
Thanks in advance!
Regards
Alejandro.

I actually think the answer to *yout* question is, If your filter
criteria are sufficiently narrow, you get *all* of the public tweets
with those keywords sent by users who aren't being blocked by
Twitter's quality filter. At least that's what the documentation has
said in the past.
But *my* question is, How does one determine the total number of
tweets, for some definition of total?
a. All tweets created, including those that aren't public?
b. All public tweets created, including those from low quality users
that don't get indexed by search or sent to the filter stream?
c. All tweets sent to the inlet of the filter stream and the various
elevated access level stream?
Remind me again - when does Snowflake go live? I haven't looked at
Streaming data for a couple months.

More information on that method is here: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_methods#statuses-filter Yes, I really need to switch to streaming for that... I just haven't had he bandwidth as of yet... we are using a Search (nee Summize) based infrastructure from a long while back and me being the one guy in the room, I've not had a chance to really skim through and update our stuff for streaming. Out of curiosity what is the third column of your figures represent? It may be possible to track that one using the Streaming API as well. We do about 68 searches (mostly hashtags, a couple keyword or user searches--for legacy/coverage guarantees) and 64 timeline follows (mostly lists, one hometimel). Each of these sources applies a label based on the source of incoming data (which search/timeline) for our various categories (see http://stltweets.com and click the category menus e.g. Blues). For ALL of these searches, we also apply a top-level category (e.g. Sports) and finally ALL of the tweets get a label of Everything for ease of seperating various sub-sites. Thus, the Everything column in my numbers is the overall volume of tweets from all sources. SO, am I to assume that the geocode search bug, once fixed, will go back to returning the tweets from people whose _profile location_ reads something near St. Louis like before?

[twitter-dev] Re: Getting a Twitter User's Profile Image
So what's the right way to get user profile image?
One option is to throw yourself at the mercy of someone tracking and
caching those images. We've used Shannon Whitley
(@swhitley) SPIURL as a backup source on other projects like http://tweet08.com
http://www.voiceoftech.com/swhitley/?p=652
You basically code http://purl.org/net/spiurl/{screen_name} and it
just redirects. They're running on free-level service for Google
AppEngine, so it might not always be up, but hey, it's free.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Getting a Twitter User's Profile Image
Hi Gabrielu,
I was going to add, you can always do something on the client for *one
off *images.
For example, here is a javascript function using jQuery to fetch user
object. Keep in mind, rate limits are 150, so if you expect your visitors to
go way over that, then this is a bad way to go, but if you happen to have
something where they are going to look at a handful of image, this can be
useful.
function fetchUserProfile(userName) {
$.ajax({
url: http://api.twitter.com/1/users/show/
+profileName+.json?cursor=-1callback=?,
cache: false,
success: function(data) {
// this variable below will container the URL to the twitter avatar
var profile_image_url = data.profile_image_url;
}
});

Every image you load using this method counts as 1 API request. So, yes,
that's bad.

Hi all,
I have a page in which there is a listing of past tweets. In this
page, I want to display the author's profile image next to the tweet.
I've come across the following:
http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/users/profile_image/:screen_name
My question is, is it wrong to use this as the src within an img tag?
I raise the above question because of the following mentioned on that
page:
This method should only be used by application developers to lookup
or check the profile image URL for a user. This method must not be
used as the image source URL presented to users of your application.
Thank you for your help.
Cheers,
Jayawi~

[twitter-dev] Re: Getting a Twitter User's Profile Image
Wow! Thank you all for the responses. That was fast. @Peter Denton I really appreciate your reply. It was very informative. I'm going to use that but with PHP to store the user's profile image URL.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Getting a Twitter User's Profile Image
You should consider using JavaScript to detect load errors on images and dynamically updating the src. If the image fails to load (which this one will because the filetype is pngx) the src is replaced with the redirect API URL. img src='http://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/1117369624/new-border.pngx' width='48' height='48' data-screen-name='abraham' class='twitter-profile-image' onerror='this.src= http://api.twitter.com/1/users/profile_image/; + this.getAttribute(data-screen-name)' Caveats: Tested only in Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Safari. You should move the JS to a function attached to the twitter-profile-image class so it works on all profile images. Optionally you can also send a ping to your server so it knows to update the cached URL.

[twitter-dev] problem with since_id in search
hi everyone, since_id is not filtering correctly with search... below there is an example that explains better what I mean: the id in this query is related to the second newer tweet from nibuzz search without since_id: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=nibuzzsince_id=2707390922 http://search.twitter.com/search?q=nibuzzsince_id=2707390922So the above query should return only one ocurrence, cause there is only one tweet with nibuzz and id bigger than 2707390922http://search.twitter.com/search?q=nibuzzsince_id=2707390922 . Although it is returning all ocurrences of nibuzz in twitter is there any other thing to do ? thanks -- João Paulo S. de Moraes +55 81 3432 3804 +55 81 9189 3814 (mobile) -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk
