[twitter-dev] Reminder: Status IDs are changing at 10am PDT/5pm UTC Tuesday 12th October 2010
Hey everyone, Just a quick reminder that Snowflake (the new way we will generate Status IDs) is scheduled to go live at 10am PDT/5pm UTC Tuesday 12th October 2010 - today for many of you and tomorrow for those of you who are on PDT. We'll send a Tweet on @twitterapi as a reminder just before we do this, and another after Snowflake is enabled.

[twitter-dev] Re: Reminder: Status IDs are changing at 10am PDT/5pm UTC Tuesday 12th October 2010
Quick question, for the timeline I've been using max_id=123456789 as a method of paging backwards instead of page=2. This stops the last few tweets from the previous page appearing at the top as more people tweet. So if the last tweet on the current page has an ID of 123456790, I make a request for max_id=123456789 (minus one to stop the same tweet appearing). However if the tweets will no longer be directly incremental, will this method still work or could the odd tweet disappear (I assume they would need to be posted at the same millisecond, but it could be possible)?

Hiyah, this page:

[twitter-dev] Streaming API sampling and filter limiting algorithms switched to new status id
The new status id format, previewed as new_id, requires slightly different algorithms for sampling and imposing filter limits on the Streaming API. In preparation for the big switch later today, we've cut over to using the new_id for these cases at about 6:30am PDT, 13:30 UTC. Only the most careful observer of the sampled streams should notice a difference. Consumers of the Streaming filter endpoint (track, loc, etc.) that aggressively push the rate limits may notice some minor differences in when the limits are imposed. We may tweak this algorithm and the associated Filter limits in the future. Overall, the results for Sample and Filter should be very similar to the previous sequentially generated status id system. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Twitter, Inc. -- 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

In the example you are showing here, you're using a tweet id that is way outside of range (if we're just talking about digits, you're missing one..) If you look at the JSON results at: http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=nibuzzsince_id=2707390922 (with the since_id you're presenting here), you'll see that the tweets being returned are a bit larger than your query: 27100248453 27073909221 27073903828 Yours: 2707390922 Was there a copy paste error?

Re: [twitter-dev] Skip the authentication
Hi Andrew, You should store the oauth_token and oauth_token_secret (securely) you received alongside any kind of identifying data you have for your user. Then, when making subsequent API calls, you use the access token to represent the user's permission and identity. You don't need to re-authenticate the user against Twitter every time (unless you want to). Taylor On Tue, Oct 12, 2010 at 4:08 AM, Andrew Cross.

[twitter-dev] HornetQ JMS Integration with twitter versus new authentication
We have a bridge to support HornetQ (JBoss' newest Messaging Server) and twitter. The idea was to provide applications the possibility of tweet right from an enterprise BUS, like being a bot. On this case we don't have a client or user doing the authentication.. it's just a robot twitting. Is there a way we could have the robot to authenticate himself without human interaction? We could configure the user/password before on the robot but it seems this is not supported any longer.

[twitter-dev] API responds to JSON requests with XHTML
When the Twitter API responds with an HTTP 500 error, as was occurring
for a brief period yesterday, the response body is an XHTML document
(http://twitter.com/500) as opposed to JSON, as I requested. This is
not the case for HTTP 4xx errors, which respond in the requested
format, for example:
{error:Not Found,request:/1/statuses/show/1.json}
I would ask that 5xx responses be made conditional on the requested
format, so that I can parse Twitter API responses consistently.
Note: in addition to affecting the API, this problem could be seen on
the new twitter.com.

Can someone explain to me what usually will be the the place when it's not null? -- 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
[twitter-dev] setting up the api and OAuth for multiple sites
Hi There, im new to the whole twitter scene bu tim making a component that i can install on several client sites that will allow them to update thier twitter accounts. for now i have set up my own account and created an app and im successfully pulling my tweets into my php component and im also posting new tweets from the application. my question is how can i make it easy for clients to configure the component. do they have to input thier own CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, OAUTH_TOKEN, OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET or do they just input thier CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, do they have to go through the whole process of registering an app on http://dev.twitter.com ? or is there any easier process (as alot of them would be lost!)

[twitter-dev] Site Streams: Work Locally / 401 Unauthorized From EC2 (/cc @jkalucki)
I've been working on a site stream implementation for the past week or so from my local environment without any issues. However, I just setup a new EC2 instance this morning and I'm unable to connect from it (I receive 401 Unauthorized). I've tried a few attempts over the course of several hours. I'm using @frflyapp and I've tried both my development oauth app and my production oauth app (both of which work locally) with the same result. My last failed attempt was at: Tue Oct 12 20:08:17 + 2010 I received the following response: HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=Firehose Cache-Control: must-revalidate,no-cache,no-store Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Length: 1286 Server: Jetty(6.1.25) My EC2 instance is at: stream1.frf.ly 174.129.10.194 With the default security group on EC2, I don't think it's possible to ping the instance and I'm not sure if that's related or not.

Re: [twitter-dev] Site Streams: Work Locally / 401 Unauthorized From EC2 (/cc @jkalucki)
I can see what you describe in the logs. The most likely problem is that the EC2-based client isn't signing the OAuth correctly somehow. There should be nothing on our end that allows you in on one IP, but 401s you on another. -John On Tue, Oct 12, 2010 at 1:28 PM, tsmango tsma...@gmail.com wrote: I've been working on a site stream implementation for the past week or so from my local environment without any issues.

[twitter-dev] Re: No of statuses extracted by statuses/filter
Hi everybody!
Thank you Edward.
I copy paste part of your answer:
[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.]
-Can anyone confirm this?
-I think, taking Edward's approach, I've still the same problem : even
taking a very narrow criteria I can never know what's the total, so
I can'´t know if all the tweets got by streaming are useful or not.
I think I have to remark that I don't need to know an exact total of
tweets in a given moment. What I'd like to know is an approximate
percentage over some approximate total of tweets estimation. I dare to
think it's part of the service providing specification.
I do understand that it can be difficult to exactly define total of
tweets when streaming and having tweets going into Twitter
permanently but not constantly, but some estimated info would be
great.
Thank you all in advance.
Alejandro.

I actually think the answer to *yout* question is, If your filter

with those keywords sent by users who aren't being blocked by

But *my* question is, How does one determine the total number of

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

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: No of statuses extracted by statuses/filter
Hey Alejandro,
When you receive Tweets through the Streaming API filter method we
will deliver all the Tweets that match the keywords/user_ids you ask
for. If there are more Tweets than your Sample is allowed we will send
a 'rate limited' message indicating how many you missed. This means,
if you don't get a rate limited message, that you got all the Tweets
for that moment in time.
Hope that helps,

Re: [twitter-dev] What data is usually contained in the place field?
Hi,
For countries where Geo is supported twitter.com allows you to set the
location you are tweeting from. The place chosen on this screen is the
one entered as the place information in a Tweet. For other
applications this information is set by passing the place_id parameter
when Tweeting. (More info:
http://dev.twitter.com/doc/post/statuses/update )
A quick request for the status from @twitterapi includes an example of
the place attribute:
twurl
/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=twitterapitrim_user=1count=1
[
{
coordinates: null,
favorited: false,

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: What data is usually contained in the place field?
Great question.
Geo means the latitude and longitude of the user as reported by the
device they are using, was sent to us. A user can say they are at a
place, e.g. Twitter HQ, or San Francisco, without revealing their
exact latitude and longitude. Place support is relatively new and many
applications have not added it yet, so instead they pass the latitude
and longitude of the device location when Tweeting. If the latitude
and longitude is sent we will try and derive the neighborhood (place)
where that latitude and longitude is.
What this means is:
Just Geo: The Tweet was created with a latitude and longitude being
passed to it. The lat/long is for a place not yet know to our database
Geo and Place: The Tweet was created with a latitude and longitude
being passed to it. The lat/long is known to our database and the
neighborhood it corresponds to was set as the place.
Just Place: The Tweet was created with a place_id being passed to it,
but no lat/long.
Hope that explains the difference,

Geo means the latitude and longitude of the user as reported by the

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: What data is usually contained in the place field?
We only return enough to display the basic information about a place.
This is because some places have a lot of information in their place
object, for example some cities and areas have a polygon with over 600
points. For more detailed information make a request to the URL given
in the place object:
http://api.twitter.com/1/geo/id/247f43d441defc03.json
Things like city and state come from the Geo hierarchy indicated by
the contained_within data returned from the place URL.

[twitter-dev] Re: What data is usually contained in the place field?
I understand, but without City and State it's really not very useful.
Sure I can lookup more using your place id, but with streaming api,
things are downloaded blindingly fast, really don't want to make a new
call for every status that has place ID.
I in interested in using streaming api to do stats on number of
mentions of certain words/people per city/state/day
Right not I can only record place id, then once a day download city/
state data per each place id, so it would not really be real time

[twitter-dev] Question about source field
I noticed that the value of source field looks somewhat strange:
source:a href=\http://www.echofon.com/\; rel=\nofollow\Echofon
\/a,
Why in the world would you have an html string as a value and on top
of than why do you include the rel=nofollow tag?
This just looks wrong, not structured.
The right way whould have been to represent the source as an object
with fileds: name, url, like this:
source:{name : Echofon, url:http://www.echofon.com},
Usually you try to pre-parse everying for us, but in the case or
source, we have to do extra parsing to extract values of title and url
Will you fix this soon?

[twitter-dev] Re: Woe is me, I can't seek what I find (or Search is failing me)
Hi, I too have looked at the streaming API for our use but the restrictions of single keywords has stopped us from implementing it. We are also having issues in the other thread related to this issue and almost 0 data for some of our geolocated search terms. Nick On Oct 12, 8:04 am, @IDisposable idisposa...@gmail.com wrote: From that thread ticket 1930 was filed on our issue tracker which we will update when a fix is deployed: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=1930 Excellent, I hope it gets fixed while there is still time to back-fill some of this data,,,otherwise we're going to have a silly-looking hole in the next State of Twitter in St. Louis report :) I understand your reasons for the location tracking using the Search API but wondered if you knew that the mentions search you are doing can be carried out on using the Streaming API filter method. That should cut down on the number or REST queries you need to make. 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 (seehttp://stltweets.comand 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?

Re: [twitter-dev] Question about TT's
Hello there. Obviously this is not the proper place, but since it's being a
lot of talking in Brazil, have you heard anything about Twitter monitoring
the TT's for political reasons?
In Brazil some are saying the Hashtag #dilma13 was somehow pulled off the
TT's (it's a brazilian Candidate to Presidential Pools).
Also as a Journalist I wonder if that is somehow possible (since Twitter is
able to accept a promoted TT) but as far as I know, not Stop a Trending (if
really trending).
Anyway, thank you all again

This just looks wrong, not structured.
The right way whould have been to represent the source as an object
with fileds: name, url, like this:
source:{name : Echofon, url:http://www.echofon.com},
Usually you try to pre-parse everying for us, but in the case or
source, we have to do extra parsing to extract values of title and url
Will you fix this soon?
