[twitter-dev] API support for 'first tweet'
hey you lovely people I know we have the limits on search results but would it be possible to request and get back get the first tweet on for som specific searches. So things like profile and tag searches could support this. The historical data wouldn't change, you just need to capture tithe first time. If you searched a tag for example, you could get you limited results and can make a separate call to get just the first tweet - which would tell you lots... Like who, what and when. Might be a good compromise to some of the limitations of results and really help me out :) ! What do others think?

[twitter-dev] i am unable to get unique oauth_token
include 'lib/EpiCurl.php';
include 'lib/EpiOAuth.php';
include 'lib/EpiTwitter.php';
include 'lib/secret.php';
$twitterObj = new EpiTwitter($consumer_key, $consumer_secret);
$oauth_token = $_GET['oauth_token'];
if($oauth_token == '')
{
$url = $twitterObj-getAuthorizationUrl();
echo div style='width:200px;margin-top:200px;margin-
left:auto;margin-right:auto';
echo a href='$url'Sign In with Twitter/a;
echo /div;
}
else
{
$twitterObj-setToken($_GET['oauth_token']);
$token = $twitterObj-getAccessToken();
$twitterObj-setToken($token-oauth_token, $token-
oauth_token_secret);
$_SESSION['ot'] = $token-oauth_token;
$_SESSION['ots'] = $token-oauth_token_secret;
$twitterInfo= $twitterObj-get_accountVerify_credentials();
$twitterInfo-response;
$username = $twitterInfo-screen_name;
$profilepic = $twitterInfo-profile_image_url;
}
i am using this code, this line gets the oauth_token sent by twitter.
$twitterObj-setToken($_GET['oauth_token']);
$_GET[oauth_token] must be unique for each user, but evry times the
user logins it does change.
how can i get a unique oauth_token for each user?any solution will be
appreciated. thanx

[twitter-dev] iPhone - application or web? What URL if web?
Hi, When I registered my application with Twitter, I was asked whether it was an application, or website. The latter required a URL callback. I tried to select website with 'oob' as the callback URL (as seen in the documentation notes), but the registration form rejected oob as an invalid callback URL (seems fair enough - it's not a URL). I'm left wondering, are iPhones apps to be registered as application or web? If the latter, what URL should be used? Cheers, Rob. -- Please visit...

Re: [twitter-dev] Wrong id for retweets
Many JSON parsers/Javascript-like programming languages can no longer consume our Tweet ID integers -- if you view the raw response of this API request, you'll see the correct value for the ID integer -- but the act of consuming the JSON by most processors will munge the integer. It's recommended to use id_str instead. Taylor On Mon, Jan 24, 2011 at 6:01 AM, Edi edi@gmail.com wrote: It seems the API returns a wrong id value for the original tweet in a retweet.

Re: [twitter-dev] iPhone - application or web? What URL if web?
Great question. Our UI makes this choice very confusing, and we're actively thinking of ways to improve it. The answer depends on the type of authorization you're using on iOS. If you're doing a standard redirect-with-OAuth flow, where you're perhaps redirecting to a custom URI scheme like yourapp://, then you should choose the web type and enter a placeholder callback URL -- likely just a link to your site. This placeholder must be there, because the form itself won't accept a custom URI scheme. No matter what kind of OAuth you're doing, you should always provide an explicit oauth_callback on the request token step. If you're doing an out-of-band/PIN code flow, then you'll want to select the app mode. This allows you to send oauth_callback=oob on the request token step, and our system will reject any other oauth_callback value. This is a lock-down mode. If you're doing xAuth but using a key that may be also using standard OAuth, you'll want to select web and provide a placeholder callback URL. If you're doing xAuth and are sure there's no other way you'll be authenticating users, select app mode to lock down.

Re: [twitter-dev] Subscribing to the Site Streams API using OAuth
Hi Michael, You're very close to getting this right -- from here it looks like it's just a matter of ordering parameters in the signature base string correctly.

[twitter-dev] getting illegal/invalid characters back in json
I pull json results from a url like this: http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline/.json?count=9include_rts=truecallback=jsonp1295903703204_=12959037 Where X is the feed name. Normally, this works (I can't say what the feed name is, unfortunately). But I recently renamed the account, and now, intermittently, I get back jsonp that ends with something like this: o_screen_name:null,created_at:Mon ...45 + 2011}, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]); You can't see them, but there are two bizarre, unknown illegal characters in there before all the zeros. json parsers, of course, choke on them quite badly. If I look at them in a text editor, they are EOT and BS in black boxes instead of regular characters. Any idea why this would be happening?

[twitter-dev] gzip Accept-Encoding header alternative
In Silverlight (and thus Windows Phone development) a developer is not allowed, for reasons unknown to me, to edit or alter the Accept- Encoding HTTP header. More info here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.webheadercollection%28v=VS.95%29.aspx As such it's not possible to add gzip to the Accept-Encoding header and get a compressed response. I've seen other server-side implementations provide a work around to this by also checking a custom HTTP header for Accept-Encoding values, such as X-Accept-Encoding. Is this something that Twitter does, I'm guessing the answer is no, but thought I'd ask otherwise Silverlight and Windows Phone dev's won't be able to request gzip'd requests.

Hi Toddy,
The users/lookup method, which lookupUsers calls, will only return that
error if none of the user_ids/screen_names you provide are recognised. The
behavior of the API method is such that only the recognised
user_ids/screen_names are returned and any which are not found are left out
of the response.
As this method is a lookup by user_id or screen_name you can compare the
returned user_ids/screen_names with the ones you queried for. Those that are
missing from the response were not found in our user database.
You can find more information on the method in our developer documentation:

The two questions I have are:
1.) Does this mean that the whole batch failed?
2.) How can I get information which user actually fails the call?
Thank you very much for the help.

[twitter-dev] Minor glitch in Twitter's emails
I'm now getting multiple emails from Twitter sometimes when someone follows me or sends me a direct message. This is only a minor annoyance - I'm sure you have more urgent issues to worry about. But I did want you to know it's happening. ;-) -- http://twitter.com/znmeb http://borasky-research.net A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems. -- Paul Erdős -- 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] Is there any timestamp for when a user starts following someone?
I am interested in finding out when a user started following another user. Is the time even recorded when that happens? And if so how do I make that query? I have scoured through the documentation and don't believe that it is possible. I just thought I would ask to make sure there wasn't something that I had missed. Thanks in advance.

[twitter-dev] Using skandinavian characters
Hi, I have a working api integration with the following setup: --- var strText = Inputs.GetProperty(DMTxt); var strUser = Inputs.GetProperty(DMUser); var strTextEnc = encodeString(strText); var sBaseTargetString = http://twitter.com/direct_messages/new.xml;; var sEncodedTargetString = encodeString(sBaseTargetString); var sSignatureKey = sConsumerSecret++oauth_token_secret; // Build Parameter String var sBaseParamString = oauth_consumer_key=+sConsumerKey +oauth_nonce=+sNonce; sBaseParamString = sBaseParamString + oauth_signature_method= + sSignMethod; sBaseParamString = sBaseParamString + oauth_timestamp=+sTimestamp; sBaseParamString = sBaseParamString + oauth_token= + oauth_token; sBaseParamString = sBaseParamString +oauth_version=+sAuthVersion; sBaseParamString = sBaseParamString +screen_name=+strUser; sBaseParamString = sBaseParamString +text=+strTextEnc; var sEncodedParamString = encodeString(sBaseParamString); // Get signature var sBaseString = POST+sEncodedTargetString ++sEncodedParamString; var sSignature = b64_hmac_sha1(sSignatureKey, sBaseString)+=; var sEncSignature = encodeString(sSignature); --- And this works great for all but Æ Ø Å and æ ø å... I have tried simply adding them to the encodeString() function as such: sEncString = sEncString.replace(/\æ/g, %E6); sEncString = sEncString.replace(/\Æ/g, %C6); sEncString = sEncString.replace(/\ø/g, %F8); sEncString = sEncString.replace(/\Ø/g, %D8); sEncString = sEncString.replace(/\å/g, %E5); sEncString = sEncString.replace(/\Å/g, %C5); But this returns a Status: 400 Bad Request with the target url: http://twitter.com/direct_messages/new.xml?screen_name=thusvtext=%E6%20%F8%20%E5 Any tips? -- 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] Low Volume App Search API Rate Limitations and Alternative Options
Hi guys, It is a bit over an year since I've been running a small volume Twitter based app deployed on Google App Engine. Basically this app is using the search API to poll some results. According to the app stats it is making less than 100 request/hour. But since last weekend, it seems it is continuously getting a rate limitation error and even if I backdown this doesn't change. Unfortunately, switching to the streamapi is not possible as Google App Engine does not allow long lived responses. So, my questions is: 1. how should I proceed? 2. is there any way I could whitelist this little app so it doesn't get rate limited? (nb: I am aware that the search API doesn't have an official whitelisting process) 3. considering I'm running on Google App Engine, I cannot provide an IP, but I could definitely make sure to submit some whitelisted headers (or something in this area). While little, this app is quite essential for me. Please advise how should I proceed.
