[twitter-dev] question about verify_credentials and rate limits

2011-01-25 Thread Stephen Rife
Hi

Through testing a call to verify_credentials when it returns true
seems to count against the oAuthed user's rate limit.

However if verify_credentials returns false it does not seem to count
against the IP's rate limit.

I just want to make sure this is correct and the verify_credentials
returning FALSE condition doesn't count against some other rate limit
in that case what it would be.

Thanks,
Steve

[twitter-dev] Does whitelisting still exist?

2011-01-25 Thread Adam Green
I'm beginning to get suspicious about the whitelisting program. We've
gone from it being relatively easy to get whitelisted, to it being
harder but at least Brian Sutorius or someone else apologized, to it
being much harder and Taylor saying they can't even reply with a
denial, to no response at all to whitelisting questions.

There is no excuse about being too busy that justifies this total lack
of response. It would be great if Brian Sutorius or Ryan Sarver made a
clear statement about whether there is still a whitelisting program at
all. I understand everyone can't be whitelisted, but can anyone be
whitelisted?

I earn my living from the Twitter API. I want it to succeed. This is
not meant as an attack. It is a warning that hiding from this issue is
hurting the Twitter ecosystem. If there is no whitelisting, let us
know so we can construct apps that will always live within the default
limits. That is possible, but we must be able to warn clients about
this, otherwise we are lying to them. I don't know about Twitter HQ,
but I am old enough to know that lying doesn't work. It always catches
up with you. So please tell us the truth about this.

I doubt if any of the other API developers want to stick their necks
out, but if *anyone* has gotten whitelisted in the last few months, it
would be great to hear it.

[twitter-dev] app idea

2011-01-25 Thread Illadel
Hi my name is William. While watching a half hour report on the news
one night about texting and driving across the nation, they spoke
about how it was becoming more of a problem as time passed. They said
people were involved in car accident some fatal some not, pedestrians
getting hit etc... Almost instantly the solution came to me. I came up
with an idea that could prevent people from texting while driving and
strongly believe it will be effective. I immediately contacted the
Gov. Patent office to set things in motion.  So now I found myself in
search of a programmer.  I’m reaching out to numerous associates and
companies for help on completing this task. There are different ways I
can go about this app, for instance, it could be an app that parents
could purchase for their children that drive. But then there are many
adults that need this app on their phones also because they too, text
while driving!  I even believe once this app is released that the
government may even implement it to be mandatory because it will deter
people from the use of their phone while driving making everybody
commute safer.
The app is simple and I believe it will only take a week or two to
write. It will use features that are already used on phones by linking
two programs together. Like I said I have begun the patent process so
I’m willing to talk in more detail about it. I don’t know if I want to
find my own programmer and sale it myself or just sale the idea as
whole.  It will be profitable for sure whether it becomes mandatory or
parents buying it to keep their children safe on the roads.
I can be reached at wbusine...@hotmail.com  / weez...@hotmail.com
I’m constantly searching and contacting people to assist me, and think
it’s just a matter of time before I reach out to the right people. I’m
truly excited about this app and can’t wait to see it being utilized.

You'll just want to make sure it points to somewhere sensical before you use

I don't think that you want the Firehose in your application. The 
Firehose is a stream with *all* Tweets that *any* Twitter user sends.


Depending on your application, you may like :

 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.

 Many thanks in advance,

 Is it possible to whitelist certain accounts so that they aren't

[twitter-dev] Re: No user matches for specified

2011-01-25 Thread ToddySM
Hi Matt,

I looked at the logs from my application and it seems that each call
to lookup fails. Interestingly it seems there is another issue that
suggests I post to this group for investigation. Is there any way I
can send you the messages (apparently Google doesn't allow me to post
the full error message)?

By the way I have question - what is the retry policy for the APIs? Is
the retry counted as a new call? Also, is there any chance that my
application gets throttled even more because it makes frequent calls
to lookup?

Thanks!
Toddy

 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:

2011-01-25 Thread Matt Harris
Hi Toddy,

Something like pastebin is a good place to put example code/responses.
Alternatively I post messages using an email client, and can post code
without any problems -- maybe that will work for you?

The API works on rate limits so ensure you stay within them. Also back off
if you keep getting error responses. Constantly breaking the rate limit and
ignoring multiple error responses could mean you get blacklisted. But if you
are just running some testing code manually it is unlikely this will happen
to you.

Making multiple requests to the same method won't affect you're rate limit
anymore than a request to another rate limited endpoint.

If you can share the log we can take a look and see if anything odd shows
up.

 Hi Matt,

 I looked at the logs from my application and it seems that each call
 to lookup fails. Interestingly it seems there is another issue that
 suggests I post to this group for investigation. Is there any way I
 can send you the messages (apparently Google doesn't allow me to post
 the full error message)?

 By the way I have question - what is the retry policy for the APIs? Is
 the retry counted as a new call? Also, is there any chance that my
 application gets throttled even more because it makes frequent calls
 to lookup?

 Thanks!
 Toddy

  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:

   Hello,
 
   I am trying to use lookupUsers(int[]) but occasionally I
   receive the following exception:
 
   404:The URI requested is invalid or the resource requested, such as a
   user, does not exists.
   {errors:[{code:17,message:No user matches for specified
   terms}]}
   TwitterException{exceptionCode=[47354327-0118689f], statusCode=404,

   twitter4j.internal.http.HttpClientWrapper.get(HttpClientWrapper.java:

  at twitter4j.Twitter.lookupUsers(Twitter.java:614)
 
   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.
