[twitter-dev] Twitter Streaming API Returning retweet_count and retweeted incorrectly?

Hey All, I built a a small ruby app using the TweetStream gem to monitor a few hash tags on twitter and have had it running inside a daemon without a problem for a week or two. Starting earlier this afternoon, for some reason, whenever a Tweet that's Retweeted comes in, the *retweeted_status*

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Requesting increased access levels for Streaming API

Thanks Taylor. So just to clarify, the 350 requests is per user account, not per server/ip address? We are creating a web application (not a desktop/mobile client) that will need to query account multiple times per hour. If the rate limits are per user account then we have no problem. If the rate l

Hi Hank, We believe it to be entirely possible to build a web-based Twitter client using only the REST API without whitelisting. Where are you thinking that you would require it? Site Streams makes it easier in some ways, though the implementation can be more complicated and intensive. By requiri

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Requesting increased access levels for Streaming API

Ryan, I have asked this a few times, (every time you mention using site streams) and I realize everyone at twitter is really busy, but it would be really helpful to know whether it is possible to write twitter web based apps right now given that there is no whitelisting, and site streams seems to

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Requesting increased access levels for Streaming API

Ed, I'm not sure what you mean by: "You need to get *all* your users to *explicitly* authorize the application's *exact* usage of their data!" Of course! that is exactly what we are saying and I'm not sure if you're really saying you shouldn't get the user's authorization as that doesn't make sens

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: consistency and ecosystem opportunities

Dewald, sorry if this isn't clear. The intent is to allow developers to still post to other 3rd party networks like Facebook, Identica, LinkedIn, etc. What we don't want to allow is for a client to use our content to build their own competing status service and by sending content to services that t

Re: [twitter-dev] Retweet chain

No, it's not. You can, however, analyze who gets the retweet in the timeline and build the chain that way. Of course, this won't work if you have a huge amount of retweets. Also, it's not 100% accurate. Tom On 3/17/11 6:47 PM, Karthik Murugan wrote: Let us assume: C follows B. B follows
