[twitter-dev] Re: Adding more users to the twitter stream listener

2011-06-03 Thread Ray Slakinski
Trying this second method and it seems if there are just a few follow
ids I dont get the tweets for those users, I'm curious to know if
there is some sort of buffer. It would also seem to appear that I
loose connection if its idle too long.

Any ideas/thoughts are welcome

 Hey Faustino,

 Yes, you can use an auxiliary connection (reducing your loss window using a
 delta scheme, as explained in the doc) to manage query velocity. But that
 really makes sense in a large predicates (higher access level) + frequent

We have used Twitter API as per the documentation in our mobile app.
The API status shows the usage and other technical stats. But we could
not come across user demography stats such as age group, gender,
active users set, country/state etc. Is there anyway we can find these

[twitter-dev] Bug with oAuth headers supplied as querystring parameters for /users/lookup.json

2011-06-03 Thread Jay Caines-Gooby
I think I've found a bug when using the /users/lookup.json API call
and supplying the oAuth headers as querystring parameters.

My code generates both forms of oAuth header so I can test (regular
Authorization: style and the querystring kind)

Using an API call like /friends/ids.json is fine using querystring
oAuth params:

curl -v -H 'Accept: application/json' 'https://api.twitter.com/1/
friends/ids.json?user_id=60173realm=https://api.twitter.com/1/friends/
ids.jsonoauth_consumer_key=KKKoauth_token=TTToauth_nonce=601731307115467oauth_timestamp=1307115467oauth_signature_method=HMAC-
SHA1oauth_version=1.0oauth_signature=SSS%3D'

But for /users/lookup.json it fails with an Incorrect signature
error:

curl -v -H 'Accept: application/json' 'https://api.twitter.com/1/users/
lookup.json?user_id=60173realm=https://api.twitter.com/1/users/
lookup.jsonoauth_consumer_key=KKKoauth_token=TTToauth_nonce=601731307115963oauth_timestamp=1307115963oauth_signature_method=HMAC-
SHA1oauth_version=1.0oauth_signature=SSS%3D'

(where KKK, TTT  SSS are placeholders for my actual values)

If I use Authorization headers, rather than querystring params for the
oAuth data, then everything is fine:

curl -v -H 'Authorization: OAuth realm=https://api.twitter.com/1/
users/
lookup.json,oauth_consumer_key=KKK,oauth_token=TTT,oauth_nonce=601731307115963,oauth_timestamp=1307115963,oauth_signature_method=HMAC-
SHA1,oauth_version=1.0,oauth_signature=SSS%3D'
https://api.twitter.com/1/users/lookup.json?user_id=60173

I thought it might initially be because I was using HTTPS urls rather
than HTTP, but the result is the same.

For the /users/lookup.json API call, using either HTTP or HTTPS and
supplying the oAuth headers as querystring parameters, you will always
receive an Incorrect signature error. The only way to call this
method is by supplying the oAuth values as Authorization headers.

This is a problem for me, as I need to call the /users/lookup.json as
JSONP and I can't supply the headers other than as querystring
parameters.

[twitter-dev] Store last tweet ID of my followers which @mention me and have a hashtag.

2011-06-03 Thread Ayath
Hi,

I'd like store my followers latest status tweet containing that
hashtag #RT and the mention of my name.

For example if one of my followers status was HEY watch my video #RT
@myusername then I'd like to retweet this.

When you visit the following xml page we can get the followers last
tweet.

https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/followers/bbclick.xml

I'd just like to store the tweet id which @mention me and contain the
hashtag #RT.

The ID would be stored in a mysql table using php.

I'm having difficulty looping through all my follower stauses. I do
understand that it'd have to be the last status update of my follower
for this to work.

Can you please assist me.

Many Thanks, ayath

[twitter-dev] Oauth in Twitter via Python

2011-06-03 Thread Correa Denzil
Hi,

I am collecting Twitter data for my research. The API says that :

[1] Anonymous calls are based on the IP of the host and are permitted
150 requests per hour. This classification includes unauthenticated
requests (such as RSS feeds), and authenticated requests to resources
that do not require authentication.

[2] OAuth calls are permitted 350 requests per hour.

I want to seek a clarification on point [1]. Lets say I want to access
a list of followers of a user id (which is public). Would this be
counted as rate limiting under point [1] or point [2] ?

[twitter-dev] Does Twitter Photos require the use of tweet entities?

2011-06-03 Thread SM
Are tweet entities required for parsing Twitter Photos? Many clients
do their own parsing and can figure out when a link is an image based
on the URL (twitpic, yfrog, etc). It looks like Twitter Photos will
use t.co in which case it doesn't look possible to figure out whether
the link is an image based on URL.

Is this correct? Are tweet entities required for Twitter Photos?

When will tweet entities no longer be an optional parameter for the
REST API?

Thanks.

[twitter-dev] Re: New Status Using A Query String

2011-06-03 Thread Arnaud Meunier
Bumping this thread to give you guys the last update on this bug.

As you know, the status parameter is an old hack belonging to the
classic web version of twitter.com. On the other hand, Web Intents
were developed specifically for this purpose, they are optimized to
load quickly, they are mobile friendly, and we fully support them on
the API side.

We've heard your feedback: We know there are still many
implementations of the old status hack out there, and we understand
that it's painful to change all these URLs.

That's why we're going to seamlessly redirect these old endpoints to
the share intent. That will fix the issue with legacy integrations,
without requiring any changes on your side. Please note that we
encourage you to replace these old URLs for the Share Intent (that
will save an unnecessary 301 hit).

While we don't yet have an ETA for this change, we are getting closer
to rolling this out and wanted to give you as much advance notice as
we could.

If you authenticate, all requests (except for search) will go into the 
350 requests. If you want 500, then perform 150 unauthenticated and 350 
authenticated. If you need even more, use more accounts to do the requests.

for associating demographics data, you would be better off
using a tool like Rapleaf or Flowtown. I am not sure if they still
let you associate twitter ids with demographics data, because
they work based on email or street address/locality as key.

You can also check out cdyne.com's offerings.
