[twitter-dev] Getting error The remote name could not be resolved: 'api.twitter.com' while twitting data from my website

2011-08-04 Thread Richard Thomas
Hi.
I am using Twitterizer Aouth API.
 
Below is the code which I am using to connect to twitter from my website.
 
 
stringconsumerKey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[consumerKey];

string consumerSecret = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[consumerSecret];

if (System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString[oauth_token] == 
null)

{

RequestToken = OAuthUtility.GetRequestToken(consumerKey, consumerSecret, 
_currentURL);

System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(script 
language=\javascript\ 
type=\text/javascript\window.open('http://twitter.com/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=+
 RequestToken.Token + 
','_new','height=500,width=850,status=yes,resizable=yes');window.location.href=window.location.href;/script
);

}

 

Some times I get The remote name could not be resolved: 'api.twitter.com' 
exception when my website tries to connect to twitter using above code.

Can some one please help me in this?

Thanks,

Richard

[twitter-dev] Twitter group API

2011-03-15 Thread Richard
Does anyone know if there is program available to create several
groups using one Twitter account and allowing you to message each of
those groups individually?

For example -

Twitter.com/username
Group 1 (100 followers)
Group 2 (56 followers)
Group 3 (77 followers)

I would like to send separate messages to each of those groups.
Please let me know if you know of any way to do this via API or a 3rd
party program.  Thank you.

[twitter-dev] http://m.twitter.com/oauth/authorize is redirecting to https://mobile.twitter.com/

2011-03-09 Thread Richard Barnett
http://m.twitter.com/oauth/authorize is currently redirecting to 
https://mobile.twitter.com/.
Earlier today I saw it redirecting to http://m.twitter.com/oauth or 
https://m.twitter.com/oauth (in the latter case via a certificate warning).

http://twitter.com/oauth/authorize is behaving as expected.

I assume this is some transient problem caused by some certificate/subdomain 
shakeup?
If so, can anyone from Twitter provide an estimated time for a fix?

(I just tried using mobile.twitter.com/oauth/authorize and ended up at 
https://mobile.twitter.com/oauth.)

Thanks

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter feed for corporate website/portal

2011-02-23 Thread Richard
Peter Denton,

I have a corporate website and I would like to show Twitter feeds of
my selected keywords (Theme Based). For that I would like to use API
which get me the feeds directly..without creating any Twitter account,
just like anonymous user..my question is, will Twitter consider it as
SPAM..

Or Shall I follow

1. Get the feed or /statuses/user_timeline without authentication at a
rate up to 150 times per hour and store the tweets in a database. Then
serve tweets to your web page from the database.

Thanks for any help on this.


On Jan 12, 9:15 am, Peter Denton petermden...@gmail.com wrote:
 also, check out Twitter Widgets. You can pull in tweets based on search,
 profile, or list-- so you might be able to use that.

 Since the request is client side, rate limiting is not going to be as big of
 an issue. You could also completely customize the UI if needed, both through
 the form Twitter provides to generate the UI as well as with plain old css.

 http://twitter.com/about/resources/widgets

 If you need any help, I would be happy to help you off the list.

  You can use the /statuses/user_timeline API call instead of the feed if you
  want. This doesn't require authentication, so there is no need to create an
  app, if you use this call:
 http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/statuses/user_timeline

  But  no matter how you get the data, rate limiting will still be the same.
  There are three ways to address rate limiting:
  1. Get the feed or /statuses/user_timeline without authentication at a rate
  up to 150 times per hour and store the tweets in a database. Then serve
  tweets to your web page from the database.
  2. Create an app that uses OAuth to get the feed or /statuses/user_timeline
  at a rate up to 350 times per hour. Store and serve from DB as in 1.
  3. Use the Streaming API to follow the user account. This uses Basic Auth,
  so no app is needed. Get the data, store and serve from DB. The streaming
  API has the advantage of delivering the data in real time with no rate
  limiting.

  The point here is that each page load should not call Twitter for data. It
  should call for your copy of the data.

  If you decide to use 2, you do need an app to do OAuth. From my experience,
  the app registration page needs a properly formatted URL, not a valid URL
  that you own. This means anything that follows the format of
 http://domain.comwill work. You can even usehttp://twitter.com.

  Also, my corporate site doesn't have a public address, and registering

Just got twitter posting working on my site. I now want to read a

can only do this by polling twitter. Is there a way to get twitter to

[twitter-dev] statuses/update: Expect: 100-Continue header rejected

2010-05-20 Thread Richard Barnett
I've been playing with oacurl https://code.google.com/apis/buzz/v1/oacurl.html
and tried to use it to send a tweet.

oacurl sends Expect: 100-Continue but Twitter rejects this with we
only allow the 100-continue expectation.

This seems to violate 
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.20
Comparison of expectation values is case-insensitive for unquoted
tokens (including the 100-continue token).

Is this fixable, or avoidable in the meantime?  (I know about twurl,
but oacurl seems generic - can I use twurl to make oauth calls to
MySpace?)

Output from oacurl (duplicate content snipped) is below:

 Just change the header to simply send a blank Expect:. With regular
 cURL a simple -H Expect: will work.

Thanks for your reply.

Although oacurl supports -H like curl, using -H Expect: adds a
second Expect: header to the request,  the Twitter server still fails
because of Expect: 100-Continue.  I'll raise the oacurl bug with one
of the authors, but that still leaves a bug in Twitter's handling of

[twitter-dev] Mobile view of twitter.com doesn't show This person has protected their tweets message

For the case where I'm trying to view a protected Twitter account

follower:
- Standard view displays a page with a lock image  the message
This person has protected their tweets
- Mobile view displays a page with a message This functionality is

Thanks for your patience!

This occurs in FF, IE, Chrome  Opera.

This is confusing to users of the app I'm developing, which renders a

   Hi,

   The reason why I¹m using followers/ids and then users/show is efficiency:

   I¹m maintaining a local cache of my users social graph. I¹m also 
   maintaining
   local user objects for my users and for their followers. Since both the
   social graph and user info are subject to change, both need periodic
   updating... They way I¹m doing that now is as follows:

   1. I request followers/ids for each of my users
   2. If I detect new followers I add them to my users social graph / If I
   detect followers removed, I remove them from my users social graph

   Subsequently I parse my user object table for users whose:
   1. info hasn¹t been updated in X days
   2. have no info because they were added as numeric IDs only via the
   followers/ids method described above

   I then request users/show for each user matching condition 1 or 2 above.

   This way, I only get an updated user object for each unique user once, 
   when
   they¹re first added, or when I expire a previous update to their info. 
   When
   I get the followers of another new user, chances are I already know the
   majority of his followers user information.

   I¹m not using statuses/followers because I would be getting the same
   information over and over and over and over again... Especially when 
   you¹re
   talking about users with a lot of followers, it¹s really inefficient
   considering you probably already store user info on most of the user¹s
   followers... It would be an equally efficient method if overlap in 
   followers
   didn¹t exist... Since it does, I believe my approach is more efficient, 
   and
   faster over time, as your user database grows and your basically just
   querying the social graph...

   ALL THAT SAID ­ I would LOVE to have a method that allows me to get user
   objects in batch... If I could request 100 user objects by numeric id in 
   one
   API call, the above would be exponentially efficient and result in far 
   fewer
   calls to Twitter.

   I am definitely interested in your feedback on my logic above and if you
   think it holds...

   Thanks!

I'm having this problem for a few days, and I've been monitoring ALL
requests sent to twitter, here is what I saw :
The value of the X-RateLimit-Remaining header is totally unreliable.
For instance, the response to a request will have it at 120, while the
next response will have it at 40.
Then subsequent request responses will have values such as 118, 39,
37, 36, 117, ... and so on.

All responses have the same X-RateLimit-Reset !

It all looks like there are 2 unsynchronized counters, and responses
get values from either one of them...

The trouble is that one counter reaches 0 much too early, which makes
my twitter client says the maximum allowed request has been reached !!

I make 3 requests every 2 minutes, so I should never reach the max.

I have the exact same behavior when using the rate_limit_status
request.

I made sure I have no other client on that account, and I can
reproduce the problem each time. Even if I had, there would not be
cases where it goes from 36 to 117 for 2 adjacent requests...

Thanks for looking into that !
(I can provide traces of the requests)

[twitter-dev] Language code in search query parameter.

Hello,

Is it possible to use the language parameter as part of the q
parameter in a search? Im thinging something along: /search?
q=ombudsman%20lang:se. This would let users save searches in their
various clients, without the clients having support for the specific
langage parameter.
