The direction you'll want to be heading is letting the users allow your app access once. You can then store the user's oAuth token and oAuth token secret with their account.

[twitter-dev] Setting custom Callback URL
Hi ,
I'm having a problem setting a custom callback URL from my end. My URL
is something that twitter can't reach so I need to provide one from my
code. I've looked at all the examples but something is not right I'm
missing something , plus I have not seen an example similar to what I
am doing for example :
Pass oauth_callback={$url} when you get your request_token. Along
with the request token will be oauth_callback_confirmed=true.
Well I can't do the above. but what I can do is this :
public TwitterAccess() {
twitter = new Twitter();
twitter.setOAuthConsumer(consumer_key,consumer_secret);
try {
requestToken =
twitter.getOAuthRequestToken(callbackUrl);
} catch (TwitterException e) {
But oops it's not working got the following error :
twitter4j.TwitterException: 401:Authentication credentials were
missing or incorrect.
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
hash
request/oauth/request_token/request
errorDesktop applications only support the oauth_callback value
'oob'/error
/hash
Ok I've done some reading on this but what I do not understand is if
put the value for oauth_callback = 'oob' how does Twitter know where
to redirect me so this is wrong !! :
You application looks to be registered as an Desktop application
which
doesn't accept callback url.
Try registering another application as a Browser application and get
another
token pair
What does this mean does Desktop App mean Client App ? when I've
created my application I could not define the callback URL because
it's a location that twitter can't reach through the web. Even dough
I've clicked on Browser Application after clicking Edit button you can
see that the value has been changed from Browser App to an Client
App !!
Please, let me know what am I missing.

[twitter-dev] New Twitter bug?
I can hardly believe it's true but I discovered a rather strange issue Once you've added a twitter account to Tweetdeck, you're allowed to tweet from that account via Tweetdeck. No surprises so far But when you change your password in Twitter, there's no account/ password check again in Tweetdeck. Which means that once you've changed your password in Twitter, you don't exclude other twitterclients from having acces to your Twitteraccount!!! I would expect every time posting a tweet there should be a credentials check So this seems not very logical to me, or is it just me thinking this smells pretty much like a bug?

Re: [twitter-dev] New Twitter bug?
Hello, Tweetdeck uses the OAuth/Streaming API which is independent of your password. Are you suggesting that when you change your password it should invalidate your OAuth connections? If so, then no, it does not do that. Scott.

There is no direct way to get this information from the API. The API will contextually indicate the accounts the current user blocks but it does not go the other way.

Re: [twitter-dev] Setting custom Callback URL
Hi Giovani,
We're working on making this UI and configuration quirk more navigable.
You should set your application to a browser/web app, and use a placeholder
URL (perhaps to your company's website) for your Callback URL.
Then, when performing the oauth/request_token step, provide the custom URI
scheme oauth_callback parameter that is relevant for you -- this will take
precedence.
In many ways, setting an app to desktop acts as a lock for certain kinds
of applications, preventing their keys from being used outside of an
out-of-band use case.

You are correct of course. I set it up that way because the only functioning library I found for updating a user's Twitter status required them.

Re: [twitter-dev] Block count?
Unfortunately not. Our Trust Safety team is working on problems with spam; I trust they will continue improving this landscape. It's a multi-pronged problem of course: disincentivize spammers, make spamming more difficult, better detect spam, better filter for relevance, better empowering users to report spam. I'm not sure if I'd consider blocks the best signal in regards to spam. People block for many reasons.

Re: [twitter-dev] New Twitter bug?
Not that I am advocating any change because I prefer the way it works now. But this has been a point of confusion for some of our users as well. The issue stems from when a user uses xAuth to authenticate, they understand it as they have used their password so if they change the app should no longer have access. When a user uses the OAuth flow on the web, they generally seem to understand they are granting access to the application regardless of password. Some other services that use xAuth like authorization schemes will actually invalidate the OAuth connection when the user changes their password IF they have been authorized using the xAuth like mechanism.

[twitter-dev] Issues with GET users/show
I am having problems getting a simple GET users/show.xml request to work. If I log in to http://dev.twitter.com/ and even try to use it on the Twurl console, I get a user not found error no matter who I request. If I make a request via my PHP in the format http://twitter.com/users/show/NAME.xml, it works fine, but am of course rate limited to 150 calls per hour. Our app needs to make several hundred. If I use twitteroauth.php and the format: $content = $connection-get(users/show.xml?screen_name=NAME); I get nothing back, user not found, just like the Twurl console. I can get other requests to work with the Twurl app and/or oauth (such as statuses/public_timeline), but it appears users/show just will not return a user. I have also tried it with user_id=XXX *and* screen_name=NAME, still doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Re: [twitter-dev] Issues with GET users/show
TwitterOAuth is abstracted a little bit more.
You can do the following which will us JSON and automatically parse it into
an object.
$content = $connection-get(users/show, array('screen_name' = $NAME);
If you really want to handle the XML parsing yourself you can do the
following
$connection-format = 'xml';
$xml = $connection-get(users/show, array('screen_name' = $NAME);

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: abraham / twitteroauth
I will just revoke access until authorization happens again. You don't have to revoke access though. You can just clear the sessions and go through the flow. It will be the same you just won't have to click allow each time.

[twitter-dev] Missing tweets or invalid statuses_count
I'm collecting all the tweets for potential 2012 presidential candidates, and I'm finding that /statuses/user_timeline returns much fewer tweets than listed as the total in an account. The docs say that this API call is limited to 3,200 tweets, but this is happening with accounts that have fewer than that number. For example: @barackobama - Statuses_count from API and tweet count listed on profile is 2,467, but /statuses/user_timeline only delivers 1,033 tweets. @GovChristie - Statuses_count is 1,062, but API only delivers 1,038. This problem occurs in about 20% of the accounts I've checked. So either the tweets are no longer available, or the statuses_count is just wrong a lot of the time. This problem has persisted through 2 weeks of testing.

Hey Adam, Do you include the parameter include_rts=1 ? Be default statuses/user_timeline doesn't include retweets so you have to add this parameter to retrieve a full timeline.

Re: [twitter-dev] Missing tweets or invalid statuses_count
I'm using your OAuth library for this. I tried:
$connection-request('GET', $connection-url('1/statuses/user_timeline'),
array('screen_name' = 'barackobama',
'include_entities' = 't',
'include_rts' = 't',
'count' = 200,
'page' = $page));
I get the same set of tweets I do without 'include_rts' = 't'. I'm
sure I'm missing something completely obvious, although probably
undocumented. Are there any examples of a response in the docs that
does include a new style RT that I can look at? I assume they are kept
in a part of the JSON I'm not used to looking for.

[twitter-dev] Retweet_count value is returning odd values
It looks like the retweet_count value is invalid. Here is what I do for 32 possible 2012 candidates: 1. Each hour I get all tweets from statuses/user_timeline. They each fit within the 3,200 limit. 2. Collect the value of retweet_count for all tweets for each candidate. 3. Sum these values to get the total retweets of the candidate's tweets. 4. Compare this to the previous hour to see how many retweets they got. The whole thing takes about 32 API calls, so its lightweight. The total retweet count for @barackobama's tweets has been jumping back and forth between 79,730 and 80,648 since 5:00pm ET. I have to believe this is broken. Now that I really understand the new RTs, I will be getting these values myself from the streaming API, which I use anyway for these accounts. I can keep my own counts and not max out at 100 RTs per tweet. -- 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
