[twitter-dev] Unable to retweet using statuses/retweet

[Adam Green]

I'm trying to build some retweeting code and am unable to get /
statuses/retweet to work. I keep getting an error of:
{"request":"\/1\/statuses\/retweet.json","error":"Not found"}

I thought I may have been doing something incorrect, even though I
used exactly the same code format that I use for other OAuth REST
calls that worked correctly, such as statuses/destroy.

I then tried the API console example in the API docs, and got the same
error, and this was with the canned arguments, so it couldn't be my
code.

So I'm wondering if there is some documentation error and this API
call has changed. The fact that the doc page incorrectly says
authentication isn't needed doesn't give me a lot of confidence as
well.

Can someone tell me what API call they use to do a retweet?

Re: [twitter-dev] Streaming API statuses/fileter method, "follow" parameter

[Arnaud Meunier]

With the "follow" parameter, you should only get "real" replies & retweets.
If you need to track all mentions, try the "track" parameter (i.e.
track=@user)

Re: [twitter-dev] Prepackaged Twitter App in Handsets

[Taylor Singletary]

While you'll find most applications on handsets communicate with
api.twitter.com, search.twitter.com, and twitter.com directly -- there are
likely a handful of applications that communicate with a proxy server of
some kind as an intermediary between the device and Twitter.

If they're talking directly to Twitter though, they'll be doing so through
HTTP.

[twitter-dev] Prepackaged Twitter App in Handsets

[sunderjs]

Hello,

I'm working on implementing mobile data plans for social networking
sites including Twitter. Requirement is to identify Twitter traffic
from mobile devices and charge distinctively from other data packets.
Since there are different ways that Twitter can be accessed from a
mobile device (browser, client app, embedded links etc), i would like
to know the possible patterns that i should identify. Clients using
standard Twitter APIs would be RESTful and generating HTTP traffic
eventually. Question is does the prepackaged client apps (such as HTC
Sense, SE Timescape, Moto Blur, Samsung Social Hub etc ) also use
public Twitter APIs ? Or is it a different arrangement altogether.

thanks
Sunderjeet

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: error 401 failed oauth_signature and token / javascript - qml

[Matt Harris]

Hey,

Looking at your example basestring it looks like you have your OAuth steps 
confused. In your example you are sending an oauth_token with your request to 
/oauth/request_token when you shouldn't be.

You can read more on the OAuth flow on our developer site:
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth

The specific section about request_token is here:
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth#request-token

Re: [twitter-dev] 3 questions (include_entities=false; states; most recent status)

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Jovan,

1) "include_entities" controls Tweet Entities output (in the status object).
For some User accounts, we're also testing & outputting User Entities (for
the description attribute). The "include_entities" parameter doesn't affect
the output of these User Entities.

2) The Status object included in users/show is the user's last tweet. Now if
you really need to get a user's last tweet (caching issues can happen) use
the "statuses/user_timeline" method.

3) We're working on this one, thanks for reporting.

Re: [twitter-dev] statuses/retweets_of_me does not work properly

Hey Ozgur,

This is not specific to the retweets_of_me method. We do have an issue with
the retweet_count, and we're looking into it. You can follow the issue
here: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=2141

Is it possible to have any help ?
here is the base string i'm generating :

POST&https%3A%2F%2Fapi.twitter.com%2Foauth

the signature :

and the "AUTHORIZATION" header field i'm transmiting to
https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token :

OAuth oauth_nonce="bIMeZu",oauth_callback="http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost

I'm still getting the same response whereas the tools i check my work
with say my basestring and signature are ok.

Thanks.

If there are popular results to include in the query and you've specified
result_type=mixed or result_type=popular you should get popular results in

I'm new to twitter development, please help..

[twitter-dev] 3 questions (include_entities=false; states; most recent status)

[jovandoj]

Hi everybody,

I started developing a twitter application and I bumped into 3 issues:
1. When I send a request like the following:
http://api.twitter.com/1/users/show.json?screen_name=someScreenName&include_entities=false
,if one of hashtags, usermentions or urls are not empty in the most
recent status message, I get the "entities" JSON object although I
specifically say "include_entities=false"
Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?
2. How long lasts the "...most recent status..." (http://
dev.twitter.com/doc/get/users/show) ?
3. Sometimes twitter sends back "states" when doing a users/show.
Where can I read about this property (nothing available on docs)?
In this "states" JSON object we get:
bouncing_email
detached_email
needs_employee_email_update
suspended
pending_email

Cheers,
Jovan

[twitter-dev] statuses/retweets_of_me does not work properly

[Ozgur]

Hi everyone,

I'm coding an app that users will see their own retweets that other
users have retweeted. I call 
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/retweets_of_me.json
url for this operation but when i look at the response i always see
retweet_count field as 0, i also use trim_user parameter but again the
response does not include any extra information about the users that
retweeted.

Is there problem with this method? could you know another solution for
learning retweet count of tweet.

Thanks.

Yes, this is how they do it.

[twitter-dev] Re: What does tweet id means?

[Tim Meadowcroft]

I think you can only really rely on IDs having different values.

In general, at the moment with Twitter, you could assume they increase over 
time, but (and I don't work for Twitter) typically ID allocation on large 
multihost systems don't work by allocating strictly sequential IDs without 
gaps - it's too hard to sequence and not really necessary.

So, for example, one way is that you build a system that gives different 
ID-assigning-hosts small blocks of IDs that they can use so they can 
allocate a series of IDs knowing they're unique without having to take out 
any kind of global lock (they only take the lock to ask for a new block 
every now and then). Another approach might be to have clocks synchronised 
to some known accuracy and have IDs calculated as "period-since-epoch * 
some-suitable-multiplier + unique-offset-per-host + 
incrementing-counter-for-this-host". 

I'm sure people can come up with other schemes as quick as we could type 
them up, but in general you make your ID space many orders of magnitude 
bigger than you strictly need, and in return you gain some flexibility in 
the criteria needed for quick and cheap unique allocation in a distributed 
system. But I wouldn't assume that every possible ID value is necessarily 
allocated.

[twitter-dev] Streaming API statuses/fileter method, "follow" parameter

[Kumar]

Hi All,

The streaming api documentation says that mentions, implicit retweets
and implicit replies will NOT be returned. However, it looks like they
are being returned. For our application we do need to keep track of
mentions and the streaming api seems to work fine. Can we rely on it
being present always? Is the documentation dated and need to be
updated?

Thanks,
Kumar.

-
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_methods#follow

References unmatched are statuses that were:
Mentions (“Hello @user!”)
Implicit retweets (“RT @user Says Helloes” without pressing a retweet
button)
Implicit replies (“@user Hello!”, created without pressing a reply
“swoosh” button to set the in_reply_to field)

[twitter-dev] What does tweet id means?

[亮亮 王]

For example, I have one tweet created at  2011-02-24 09:08:30 , its id
is  40775075934244864
and another tweet created at 2011-02-24 09:08:31, its id is
40775079306604544

Does this mean that in just 1 second, there have been 3372359680
tweets sent? It seems very impossible.(3.3billion one second?)

   40775079306604544
-  40775075934244864

= 3372359680

If not, can somebody explain what the twitter id means?
