[twitter-dev] Re: Poor documentation. For example, regarding lists. Suggestions for improvement.
So if I want to have an information about a list you expect me to read all of the documention to figure out which version to use although i am fine in programming. I guess just including something as a proper documentation for example a link see current available versions here is too much to ask. list_id is available from the index of lists for a user. This request is the /1/lists request: http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/lists so i am supposed to get my list info, use the user infos (which ii have to work through as well as no working examples are provided there), scan through the nearly 2k lists for the one i want and then be able to implement a simple list request. I see. that is so much more sensible than just having one (!) working example on the page and allowing for an easy way of figuring out hei you know the owner and the slug of the list you are looking? this is how you write the code example. know the id? this is how you do it. Alternatively, if those values are unknown or you don't wish to look them up, you can provide the slug and screen_name as you have done in your example. great. how about an example on that page about how to do so, since the information on the page is additionally inconsistent? i have not looked up the api doc for a while, but the current status is ridiculous. not even all parameters are correctly listed nor how to call them. I have to search google for documentation on how to properly format an api request in 5 min instead of being able to look at the real documentation. but hei, it looks much more pretty now. /sarcasm Nicole -- http://nicole-simon.eu / http://twitter.com/NicoleSimon -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: https://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: https://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: https://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/twitter-development-talk
Re: [twitter-dev] trending topics order
How difficult would it be for Twitter to return the tweets per minute
by location on Trending Topics? For example, if hockey is getting
100 tweets per minute in Boston, the line for Boston would read
boston 100

Hi,
Yes, trending topic responses are returned in the order of most trending to
least trending. In the example you give Guille Franco is trending more than
Vuvuzela.

Hi there
Are trending topics results, ordered from most-trendy topic to last

consider a trends node like:
trends: [

Question again: IsGuille Franco most trending and Vuvuzela least
trending. (for these ten result)

[twitter-dev] stream responses with incomplete json tweets
Hello,
I was playing with the twitter stream (http://stream.twitter.com/1/
statuses/filter.json?track=test) and found that I sometimes get
incomplete json returned. Some responses are complete and others are
not. I don't have an idea why this is and how to solve this.
Here is the C# code to reproduce this:
/*-CODE */
byte[] buf = new byte[32768];
String domain = http://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/
filter.json?track= + hash;
HttpWebRequest request =
(HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(domain);
request.Credentials = new
NetworkCredential(user_name,user_password);
HttpWebResponse response =
(HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
using (response)
{
Stream resStream = response.GetResponseStream();
using (resStream)
{
int count;
do
{
// fill the buffer with data
count = resStream.Read(buf, 0, buf.Length);
// make sure we read some data);
if (count != 0)
{
// translate from bytes to ASCII text
string tempString =
Encoding.ASCII.GetString(buf, 0, count);
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(tempString) !
tempString.Equals(null,
StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
{
try
{
JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(tempString);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(Exception
occured);
}
}
}
} while (count 0); // any more data to read?
}
}
/*-END CODE */

Hi all Complete newbie to programming but getting to grip. Creating a website and need to get access for friends and family on Twitter. Up until 1 hour ago the following worked: tw.ProxyUsername = Trim(Me.txtTwitterName.Text) Session(NewUserName) = Me.txtTwitterName.Text Response.Redirect(tw.GetAuthorizationLink(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings(AuthenticationCode), _ System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings(AuthenticationSecret))) It still takes me to Twitter with the http://twitter.com/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=NuDD63Vru**aTcjH3KppirsEAV4quWk and then lets me log in, says authorise and then i get error=Could+not +authenticate+you.content=0 after redirecting me to right place.

Re: [twitter-dev] 401 Unauthorized in Python/Twisted app
An interesting note, perhaps. I was writing unit tests last night to check my OAuth implementation. I was able to connect and retrieve data via the regular API (api.twitter.com), but I still have the 401 issue when trying to connect to the user stream API. On 2011-06-24, at 19:54, Eryn Wells wrote: Hello all, I'm quite new to OAuth and the Twitter API, and this is my first post to this list. I'm working on an app in Python using the Twisted framework. It uses brosner's fork of python-oauth2[1] to do the initial authentication and subsequent request signing. I'm using the PIN code flow for authentication. Do access tokens need to be generated every time you start the app, or can they be stored between runs and reused? If so, how long are the valid? Right now, my code writes the access token and secret out to a file and recovers it the next time it starts. The procedure seems to go just fine – I don't get any errors – but I can't really verify that everything is Correct because I don't really know what I'm looking for… Second thing, I'm at the point where I'm trying to do the initial connection to https://userstream.twitter.com/2/user.json. I'm using SSLConnect and web.HTTPClient, if that helps… I write out the command (GET url), and the headers (a Host and an Authorization header). The OAuth library generates the following Authorization header content. I get back a 401 Unauthorized error with a WWW-Authenticate: Basic header. I've heard from @twitterapi that User Streams require OAuth, so why am I getting a Basic auth response? OAuth realm=Firehose, oauth_nonce=25622603816219309853125867384777, oauth_consumer_key=cut, oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1, oauth_version=1.0, oauth_token=cut, oauth_signature=1AV5YG4DsfCV4jDoQcOCOmxZ2Gw%3D Anything obvious there that I'm doing wrong?

[twitter-dev] Strange behavior for updates starting with DM
Hello, fellow developers, I was talking to my friend Nilton (@nilton_jr) about the lack of a group DM feature, so I was tried to post a tweet starting with DM em grupo (Portuguese for group DM) and I noticed that the tweet wasn't posted. Tweetdeck says Update successful and Twitter for the iPhone doesn't display any error message at all. I wonder if this is a bug like the auto follow bug from last year [1]. This probably isn't the best channel to report this kind of bug, but I'm sure you guys can forward this to the right team.
