[twitter-dev] Re: Problem setting up new twitter-async browser app
Seems like I just figured out the issue. For some reason, I have a problem with my Firefox web browser. It works fine in Epiphany Web Browser. I'm not sure what the issue is with Firefox, but I am trying to determine the problem. It is not a cache issue, since I have already dumped the cache several times.

[twitter-dev] Direct link to tweet
Given a user id and a tweet id from the rest API, what is the correct and consistent way to generate a link directly to the source tweet? something like http://twitter.com/#!/USER_ID/status/TWEET_ID works _sometimes_, in some cases. Sometimes it depends on whether a user is logged in or not, and sometimes it actually leads to the wrong tweet as the TWEET_ID is numerically of by a few steps compared to the link you get form the twitter web page. Also sometimes USER_ID has to be replaces by the users twitter name for it to work. So far I have not had any luck getting this to consistently work. I really hope I am missing something simple and someone here can give me a pointer in the right direction. - Nikolaj -- 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] Numeric JSON Error code
Hi all! I'm currently developing a C language application that provides full twitter access to users from command line. Everything goes fine except for error handling, as my users are not very good english speakers... Json Error structures are of the form: request: /1/users/show.json?screen_name=jfnsdjvnd error: Not found And the errors I've captured so far are: Not found Status is a duplicate. Status is over 140 characters. You cannot send messages to users who are not following you. My questions are: - Literally searching for those texts in error responses, is reliable? - Are they likely to change in the future without an announcement to this list? - If so... How possible is to add an extra field that contains a numeric error code that is reliable? I think this may benefit not just me, but all multi-language application implementers, by providing a simple way to tell one error from another... Thanks for your attention, hope a nice discussion on the subject may start on this thread.

Re: [twitter-dev] Sharing Access to Application Control Panel
This is not yet possible. You may be better off creating a specific Twitter account to house your application, then share the account details with your fellow developer ( as red-flaggy as that may sound). Our API support team can assist you in transferring an application from one account to another -- that process gets started by having the original account owner email a...@twitter.com with details on the target account to receive the application.

Re: [twitter-dev] Topics trending nearby!
Hi dev.at.twitter, Yes, Local Trends are only available by one of the 42 currently supported WOEIDs (including Worldwide/WOEID==1). However, the GET http://api.twitter.com/1/trends/available.json method will take a lat and long parameter set to return supported WOEIDs for a location (see the end of this message for a brief summary on WOEIDs we have trends for now). Finally, the trends/:woeid call is meant to tell you what the current trends are, not to provide the actual tweets that make up that trend. Each trend in the array will have a name, a URL pointing to the search.twitter.com WEB UI (which can easily be munged into a Search API URL), and the actual query criteria that is considered part of the trend. For finding WOEIDs for lat/longs that aren't necessarily reflected in Trending Topics, look here: http://developer.yahoo.com/geo/geoplanet/ Summary on current local trends areas: [ { label:Ireland, woeid:23424803 }, { label:United Kingdom, woeid:23424975 }, { label:Mexico, woeid:23424900 }, { label:Boston, woeid:2367105 }, { label:Washington, woeid:2514815 }, { label:Miami, woeid:2450022 }, { label:Su00e3o Paulo, woeid:455827 }, { label:Baltimore, woeid:2358820 }, { label:India, woeid:23424848 }, { label:Worldwide, woeid:1 }, { label:Colombia, woeid:23424787 }, { label:Italy, woeid:23424853 }, { label:Detroit, woeid:2391585 }, { label:Argentina, woeid:23424747 }, { label:Netherlands, woeid:23424909 }, { label:New York, woeid:2459115 }, { label:Australia, woeid:23424748 }, { label:United States, woeid:23424977 }, { label:San Antonio, woeid:2487796 }, { label:France, woeid:23424819 }, { label:Chile, woeid:23424782 }, { label:Minneapolis, woeid:2452078 }, { label:Philadelphia, woeid:2471217 }, { label:Chicago, woeid:2379574 }, { label:Brazil, woeid:23424768 }, { label:Houston, woeid:2424766 }, { label:San Francisco, woeid:2487956 }, { label:Los Angeles, woeid:2442047 }, { label:Venezuela, woeid:23424982 }, { label:Canada, woeid:23424775 }, { label:Spain, woeid:23424950 }, { label:Sydney, woeid:1105779 }, { label:Singapore, woeid:23424948 }, { label:Atlanta, woeid:2357024 }, { label:Indonesia, woeid:23424846 }, { label:Germany, woeid:23424829 }, { label:Dallas-Ft.

Re: [twitter-dev] Question about Search
There are several factors involved in surfacing in search results, chief among them that the search index represents only around a week's worth of Tweets. Additionally, the search index is filtered for quality and some tweets and/or accounts will not be represented: http://support.twitter.com/articles/66018-my-tweets-or-hashtags-are-missing-from-search Here's a summary of reasons a user might not appear in search: 1. *Your tweets aren't recent: *We only index tweets for about 6 days. If your most recent tweet is older than that, please tweet again and check. 2. *Your account is private:* Private or protected accounts do not appear in search.Learn more about protected accounts herehttp://support.twitter.com/articles/14016-about-public-and-protected-accounts . 3. *Your account is new, or you recently changed your username: *It can take a few days for new and updated accounts to be indexed by search. 4. *Your email is bouncing:* If you log in and see a big red warning when you're attwitter.com that says your email address is having delivery issues, please take the steps to fix it! We want to show you in search, but we need you to fix your email first (see Screenshot 2 below). 5. *You are being filtered out of search due to a quality issue*: In order to provide the best search experience for users, Twitter automatically filters search results for quality. This Search Quality help pagehttp://support.twitter.com/forums/10713/entries/42646 has information why accounts are filtered from search 6. *You are missing because of current resource constraints: *Right now, some users may not be seeing their Tweets because of resource constraints. This is more likely affecting you if you're a new user (with an account less than a couple of weeks old). Our search engineers are working on this known issue, and your Tweets should start showing up in search soon!

Hi Zhe, The information is provided by the application making the status/update API call. How that information is gathered is application and device specific. It could be manually chosen by the user of the application, or identified using the GPS in the device. Some devices may choose to use the IP of the device.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Upgrading from Read to Read / Write access for OAuth API Key
Apparently there was a bug before (which I now recall), where if the developer set it to read only, and subsequently changed it to read-write, it wouldn't really change to read-write. However, per earlier conversation in this thread, that issue appears to have finally been fixed. So, if you, as the developer, decide to switch an app that is currently read-only to read-write, it will finally offer the read-write functionality. As a developer, you get to choose that functionality - it won't change without your approval. ~Patrick On Mon, Jan 31, 2011 at 1:45 PM, Tim Bull tim.b...@binaryplex.com wrote: While this makes me happy (from a developers point of view), surely this is a bug and therefore not to be relied on?

Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter Search API geocode parameter
Hi Zhe, The Search API can only return approx 1800 per query. Creating a radius that covers the whole earth would be counter productive. Instead you may wish to use the Streaming API. Using this API you can say that you want all Geocoded Tweets from around the world. If you do that any Tweet which includes geo information will be Streaming to you in real time -- up to the allowed sample percentage. You can read more about this API on our developer resources site: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api in particular: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_methods#statuses-filter Best, @themattharris Developer Advocate, Twitter http://twitter.com/themattharris On Wed, Jan 26, 2011 at 3:54 PM, Zhe Chen chenzhe@gmail.com wrote: Twitter Search API geocode parameter.

Re: [twitter-dev] remote server returned an 401 unauthorized
Hi Maanik, In addition to the 401 header, the body of the response the API returns to you contains a reason for the access being rejected. The reason will be something like invalid timestamp or incorrect signature and knowing what it is will tell you which part of your API request needs attention.

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.

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.
