[twitter-dev] Re: Upcoming changes to the way status IDs are sequenced
My applications will have an impact in the SQL queries. Right now, to display tweets in reverse chronological order and with pagination, my query has something like this: SELECT * FROM tweets INNER JOIN mytable on tweets.id = mytable.tweet_id GROUP BY tweets.id ORDER BY tweets.id DESC LIMIT 100, 20 Having the group and order clause on the same field (tweets.id) improves the performance. But after this change, I'm forced to use the timestamp in the ORDER clause.

[twitter-dev] Re: parsing out entities from tweets (a.k.a. parsing out hashtags is hard!)
Raffi, A bit advanced request. Would it be possible to attach list of significant words and phrases present in the tweet. We could then use this info to categorize tweets and even build a trends list on the tweets aggregated by our apps. In one of our apps, we use Yahoo Terms Extraction service to extract phrases from tweets. Thanks, Karthik
[twitter-dev] Using stored OAuth tokens in Anywhere
Let's assume, we already have tokens of users, who logged into site via normal OAuth process. Now, if we integrate Anywhere in our site frontend, users are required to do a separate OAuth login for following people via Anywhere hover cards. Is there a way to suppress the second OAuth login, as we already have their tokens with us?

Just did. Thanks http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=1694
[twitter-dev] Problem with Social Graph API
Hi, My profile is crictwits. When I invoke the "friends/ids" social graph API for my profile, I'm getting wrong results. The total count seems to be right, but the list isn't. For example, I'm following user shinils (id is 775881), but this user's id is not present in the list returned by http://twitter.com/friends/ids.xml?id=crictwits You can verify that I'm following this user by this call: http://twitter.com/friendships/exists.xml?user_a=crictwits&user_b=shinils Many other friends are also missing in the list returned by the social graph API. Any clues? Regards, Karthik
[twitter-dev] Clarification on location in search API
As per the documentation, when we limit the search results to a location by using the "geocode" parameter, the location is taken from user's profile. But, is it true that if someone tweets from GPS enabled applications, then the geo-coordinates of the tweet take precedent over the user’s profile location, as far as the search by location feature is concerned?

Which API method do you use?
[twitter-dev] Re: strange search api behavior
I have this problem as well. I use "since_id" and I query for newer results every minute. For past 10 days, I'm seeing my app was not indexing many tweets. I compared the results with search.twitter.com and I can clearly see that I'm missing out a lot of tweets, if I keep including the since_id parameter. I guess, there are some issues in the search system.

[twitter-dev] Re: OAuth and a readonly app
Yes. But, you don't need a separate Twitter account. Just create an OAuth app in one of your existing twitter accounts, note down the OAuth tokens, get your own account's access tokens from "My Access Token" link. You can use these tokens to enjoy the 350 per hour limit.

[twitter-dev] Re: List of all users who tweeted in the last 30 seconds
Search API can return only 1500 recent tweets. Real pain is you have to poll the API 15 times (rpp=100) Look into the Streaming API. There are lower access levels which can give you certain proportion of tweets. http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_methods#statuses-sample But for getting all tweets, you will require Firehose access level. Remember, you will have keep listening to the Streaming server for 30 seconds, inorder to receive tweets posted during that period.

[twitter-dev] New twitter.com uses an OAuth app called "web"?
Just read from this blog post (http://engineering.twitter.com/2010/09/ tech-behind-new-twittercom.html), that new Twitter.com is a client to Twitter API. I can't help but wonder if, 1) Twitter.com uses an OAuth app called "web"? 2) Does the site generate OAuth access tokens for every user from their raw credentials?

[twitter-dev] Re: Unix Timestamp with Twitter and Search API responses.
Just in case, you need to parse the created_at date string, use this
(PHP)
//converts Sat, 21 Feb 2009 19:11:42 + to a timestamp
function from_apachedate($date)
{
list($D, $d, $M, $y, $h, $m, $s, $z) = sscanf($date, "%3s, %2d %3s
%4d %2d:%2d:%2d %5s");
return strtotime("$d $M $y $h:$m:$s $z");
}

Can you accept the request for the colon character too? I may use the prefix $IN for Indian stocks and would like to retrieve only the updates containing the term $IN:REL for example?

Please confirm, if the following is allowed? 1. Set rpp=100 and retrieve 15 pages search results by incrementing the param 'page' 2. Get the id of the last status on page 15 and set that as the max_id for the next query 3. If we have more results, go to step 1

[twitter-dev] Re: statuses/friends page count?
It's also possible, that some intermediate pages return empty result set. Try this, http://twitter.com/statuses/followers.json?id=billcrosby&page=124 This profile has 44K followers and some of the intermediate pages return empty result sets. Not sure why, but my obvious guess is that all the followers in this page are suspended. So, empty result set doesn't mean that you are done with the traversal. I've modified my scripts to crawl N number of pages, where N is (number of followers/100).

[twitter-dev] Re: Issues I came across migrating to cursors
I think, you should implement some sort of pagination in your app to deal with this issue. We had similar problems for the project http://whofollowswhom.com and we settled with the approach #1 followed by querying profile info for the each profile. Though it is a costlier approach, we had to do this because of the easiness in pagination. We still have a problem with big profiles and are in the process of migrating to cursors for followers/ids.

[twitter-dev] Re: At Symbol (@) in Twitter Search
This is strange. Did you also notice that for Non-English tweets returned from http://twitter.com/#search?q=%40, the user names are decorated with links to their profile pages? Well, Twitter doesn't index symbols like @ # $ ^. If you'd like to gather the tweets containing references to twitter names, you should use the Streaming API to do so, because Search API doesn't treat @ as a keyword.

[twitter-dev] Twitter Streaming API rate limiting frequency-track
Hi, Since there is no per keyword rate limiting in streaming api, adding one keyword which gets lot of tweets can limit the data of low frequency keywords. What is the frequency at which data is limited at different access levels?Is it constant or keeps changing? If this is known we can find the frequency of a keyword before tracking using another stream or search api and add it only if the sum is not exceeding the maximum. Please confirm whether this is a good strategy for such situation?

Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter Streaming API rate limiting frequency-track
Thanks John, but my application needs to add/remove keywords on a regular basis, and i am planning an algorithm which does something like calculate current frequency for main account which is near approximation for the current time (calculating based on last 10 mins,1 hr,1 day frequencies) and on adding a new keyword it increases. I cant find a way to determine when to stop adding new keyword without knowing an upper limit. -- 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?hl=en

I am getting strange results when using streaming api with and without Oauth. Without oauth i am able to track phrases whereas with oauth i get a 401 error, able to track normal words with oauth.Is there any restriction on phrase tracking? Could not find any pointers in the docs.btw i use twitter4j.

[twitter-dev] Per user retweet count
Hi, Is there any way to get the Retweet count per user? i.e., number of tweets of a particular user that are Retweeted? Search api with 'RT @username' gives the retweets but again its a only a few days of data.

[twitter-dev] Re: Include $ as a searchable character
No, they show status updates from unrelated profiles too. I guess, they are indexing updates containing stock names and filtering out posts that don't have a dollar sign before the stock name On Sun, Feb 22, 2009 at 12:40 PM, Chad Etzel wrote: > > My SWAG is that they are just parsing their follower/friend stream > themselves and highlighting tokens beginning with $. > > -Chad > > On Sat, Feb 21, 2009 at 12:40 PM, Karthik wrote: > > > > I'm looking for a similar feature too.

[twitter-dev] Retweet chain
Let us assume: C follows B. B follows A A sends a tweet and B retweets it. C gets the retweet on his timeline and retweets it again. I'm connected to UserStream of A and I receive both the retweets. But not sure how to find the retweet chain How can we know that C retweeted it via B?
