[twitter-dev] Profile Image Uploads return 200 OK but do not update
We are seeing a 200 OK when making profile image uploads via the API however the image either does not update or takes a long time to update (over an hour) on Twitter. I presume this is in relation to: http://status.twitter.com/post/3369948143/image-uploads-partially-disabled And: http://status.twitter.com/post/3365838637/cannot-update-profile-images-resolved Could someone confirm what the current status of Profile Image Uploads via the API is / the status of these issues, they have not been updated since Friday.

[twitter-dev] understanding data returned in arrays.
Hi everyone,
I am struggling a bit to find the right API reference that explains
how to work with the data that is returned from an expression like
$content = $connection-get('friends/ids', array('screen_name' =
'bobaiello'));
where get is shown below (as in Abraham William's excellent examples).
I am struggling with understanding:
1. how to parse the array returned in $connection
2. how to implement a curser to get the next batch of responses
(twitter seems to give me the first thousand only)
3. is the array one dimensional or a more complex structure (print_r
leads me to believe the latter)
any help or pointing me in the right direction would be greatly
appreciated.

[twitter-dev] update_profile_image is returning 200OK but not updating Profile Image
We are again seeing behaviour where update_profile_image is returning
a 200OK but the image is not updated on Twitter. This happened last
week and was fixed under Issue 1745:
http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=1745
But it has just reappeared. Behaviour is very slightly different in
that the previous profile image remains in place rather than becoming
a broken image.

[twitter-dev] Re: Is Twitter oAuth broken?
It would appear that Twitter oAuth is down across the board. We are getting 500 errors for all calls to: http://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token Since 18:20 UTC. Presumably this is what is meant by the update to the issue on the status blog: Update (11:20 PST, 18:20 UTC): oAuth tokens are also affected by this; we continue to work to resolve the issue. TwitPic, yFrog, TweetDeck - all similarly effected. Obviously very frustrating.

And:
http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=1745
For more info.
Looks like they just fixed it for new uploads but any uploads made
during the period are still broken. Not sure if they will be able to
fix that aspect or not (although it does look like the image is there
in Amazon S3, just that the permissions on it are wrong).

function better and more reliably in the near future. The current site

I'm trying to upload profile images using oAuth. This basically works
(I get the right return data, no errors), except that the image is not
updated. Sending tweets through the same library does work, so this
probably isn't an authentication issue.
As per the twitter-async documentation, I'm using:
$twitterObj-post('/account/update_profile_image.json', array('@image'
= '@'.$img_path));
$img_path is the correct path (+filename) for the file, I've checked
the folder name using phpinfo, used a test image, etc.
Since I'm not getting errors, this issue is very hard to troubleshoot
from my end. Suggestions on how to tackle this very welcome.

Oh come on, you're just being disingenous now. First they came for the pedophiles First they came for the muderers Today's society is to worried about offending someone to acknowledge the fact that YES there are univseral rights and universal wrongs. That is not to say that there isn't a difference between premeditated murder and self defense but it is perfectly acceptable to say that Premeditated Murder is ALWAYS wrong, even if for some reason it isn't illegal. In this case spamming is ALWAYS wrong. Again you need to allow for definitions. Asking to receive announcements from Dell and then having Dell follow you is on thing. But having someone autofollow you with 800 different PC resellers becasue you posted a tweet saying look at the great deal #Dell has today is WRONG. Emotional and personal beliefs SHOULD have a place in legal context and largely do in our society (read up on Jury nullification if you're interested) As another extreme example: Datamining Myspace (if it's possible I've never worked with it) for 12 year olds names and addresses etc... COULD have a purposeful use in advertising but if your $12 product is being used by 99% of people to find children to attack then your product is WRONG and needs to come off the market.

[twitter-dev] Rate limit question (again/followup) 20k user or ip?
Since we have a lot of devs monitoring this now I'd like to bring back the discussion that we were having before this whole mess started. Is the intention of Twitter to allow (for whitelisted IP's) 20k requests per hour per USER or 20k requests per hour per IP. I don't want to seem to be beating a dead horse and Chad has confirmed this but it still seems like there's quite a bit on contention. Thanks -Bob

We are having the same issue. Everything came back online OK after the DDoS but about an hour ago one of our whitelisted servers got banned. I've taken this server out of the loop but we've only got a limited number of whitelisted IPs so I don't know how long this will last. Can't find any information on any of the relevant websites, blogs or twitter accounts which is quite frustrating, although I appreciate that the team at Twitter has had a long hard day.

So I go ahead and use some development servers to start sending requests- All is fine, for about a hour. They are blocked now. So to anyone out there, there is no point using a new IP- It will get blocked within a hour or so. I guess we have to wait for twitters host to fix it, or use actionscript/ajax to have the end user request the data himself (Which is what I am going to do) so its always a unique IP
[twitter-dev] Rate Limiting Question
From the Rate Limiting documentation: IP whitelisting takes precedence to account rate limits. GET requests from a whitelisted IP address made on a user's behalf will be deducted from the whitelisted IP's limit, not the users. Therefore, IP-based whitelisting is a best practice for applications that request many users' data. Say for example I wanted to simply replicate the twitter website. One page per user that just monitors for new statuses with authenticated (to catch protected users) calls to http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.json Say I was very popular and had 20k people on the site. Would this limit me to 1 call per minute per user or would it fall over to the user limit of 150 an hour once I hit my 20k? If so how can I tell it has fallen over besides for simply keeping track of the number of calls per hour my server has made. Thanks -Bob

Hi Doug, Is there a timescale for rolling back / making the change to the new scheme? We're just putting the finishing touches to moving to OAuth and we're experiencing the issue when using verify_credentials to get the users basic details once we've got the token back from the authentication process. We're experiencing the issue when: 1. Testing our login and authentication processes 2.

For this reason alone I would urge people to switch to OAuth if at all possible. I would hope (and assume) that if login attempts for an account are locked out that a user would still be able to successfully use an already authorized OAuth driven application. Unfortunately allowing a successful un/pw login while an account is locked out even when the correct password is presented effectively bypasses the whole reason for a lockout in the first place, preventing brute-force password attempts. If an attacker used a dictionary or brute-force attack and the account was locked out after 15 attempts, then they could continue trying even though the system replied locked out; if they eventually sent the correct password it would just bypass the lockout and they would then know the correct password. Perhaps Twitter could implement a selective captcha, I know they are annoying but if executed properly it could be effective protection against brute-force and dictionary attacks. Say after 3
