[twitter-dev] Re: User Streams goes Production, Site Streams adds Home Timelines
This is awesome. Anyone have a simple PHP example yet of working with User Streams? (Just want to use it for myself for now, to get familiar with it). Thanks. Dharmesh Shah http://twitter.com/dharmesh On Sep 28, 3:04 pm, John Kalucki j...@twitter.com wrote: User Streams = After an uneventful beta test period, the User Streams feature of the Twitter Streaming API is now in regular production. As with all production APIs, material changes will be pre-announced and non-backward-compatible changes will be avoided. Developers may release products against the production endpoint athttp://userstream.twitter.com/2/user.json. While User Streams is most useful for Desktop Clients, experimentation in other use cases is encouraged. Note that service integrations, such as websites and other server-based systems, must not open more than a very small number of User Streams. Instead, services must use Site Streams. Follow the product selection guide,http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api#productsto select the correct product and avoid access interruptions. Access to User Streams on betastream.twitter.com is now unsupported, and the beta test endpoints will be disabled in a few days. Home Timelines = Site Streams and User Streams now support the with parameter to control the delivery of home timelines. This parameter currently accepts two values: users or followings. When set to users, only messages targeted directly at a user will be delivered: * Statuses created by the user * @mentions and Direct Messages sent to the user * Retweets and favorites of the user's statuses * New followings by the user * New followers of the user * User's profile updates When set to followings, the stream will also include: * Statuses and retweets created by any of the user's followings * @mentions from any of the user's followings, subject to the setting of the replies parameter Site Streams defaults to users while User Streams defaults to followings. These differing default values may be confusing, but were chosen to retain backwards compatibility. We recommend that you explicitly set this parameter to avoid confusion and future compatibility problems as we refine this API.

[twitter-dev] Re: List Widget code upgraded yet?
Matt, I'm actually seeing some similar issues when invoking the list API (other API calls work just fine). When trying to invoke the lists.xml method to get the lists for a user, the call fails with a Could not authenticate you. This is despite having valid OAuth credentials (which work perfectly for other API calls). Something seems to be going on specifically with the List API and OAuth. Thanks for your help.

I'm trying to get the public tweets for certain users, and they come back with no data.

[twitter-dev] Get just the IDs for a lists members
I'm looking to do do some analysis on twitter lists. I'd like to be able to retrieve the list of all users that are members of a list -- but all I need are the User IDs. Is there a way to get a list of members (up to 5,000) like we can with the call followers/ids and friends/ids? Right now, we can only retrieve 20 members at a time -- which requires many API calls for large lists and wastes bandwidth as I don't need all the user data. Thanks.

[twitter-dev] Accounts no longer in existence not returning error
I've noticed that several accounts that no longer exist on twitter are still returned when accessed via the API.

[twitter-dev] Re: Accounts no longer in existence not returning error
Sorry, I should have used a better example. Like: http://twitter.com/807095 -- which as it turns out, is not really a problem either, because I figured out that the API will allow lookup by UserID (vs. Screen Name) whereas the web interface does not. In any case, thanks for following up and sorry for the interruption. All is well. On Oct 6, 3:31 pm, William william.wnekow...@gmail.com wrote: It does exist.. you just added an extra t at the end.

[twitter-dev] PHP Sample for streaming sample call
Greetings, I'm trying to get the streaming sample (GET /1/statuses/sample.json) call working in PHP. I was able to get the POST to /track.json working fine -- but having trouble getting access to the sample stream. Anyone have working example PHP code I could use for this?

But it gives what is posted by them only. An e.g to clear things up User X is authenticated through API. the App makes a call and gets his home timeline using statuses/ friends_timeline . User X has a friend User Y. App can call statuses/user_timeline for user Y but that will return only User Ys statutes (which can also be got from statuses/friends_timeline earlier). What i want is an easy way so the the App can get User Y;s home time- line ( User Ys statuses as well User Y friends statuses). One can find User Ys friends and then call statuses/user_timeline for each of friend to get what i want. Seems to expensive in terms of api calls Any better way of doing this? i could not see the api supporting this directly. --dharmesh -- --Dharmesh

So if i user_timeline REST api call and use max_id =X or since_id = Y and count=200 i can get 3200 messages backwards from X or 3200 messages forward from Y and then hit the limit. My specific questions: 1) can i use some different max_id and count=200 after the above scenario is hit. 2) What if in the next user_timeline REST api calls i use a different reference point max_id = A or since_id = B can i use count=200 and still get different set of 3200 messages? --dharmesh On Tue, Aug 4, 2009 at 12:34 AM, Josh Roesslein jroessl...@gmail.comwrote: Correction: 3200--1800 Sorry for that math error ;) On Mon, Aug 3, 2009 at 2:03 PM, Josh Roesslein jroessl...@gmail.comwrote: I believe it means you can not go back more than 3200 statuses.

When I call users/show method of the API, the friends_count and statuses_count does not always return data (this used to work reliably until relatively recently).

Re: Change to Twitter API?
Alex, I think there might still be an issue with this fix. I've run through many test cases (including your profile) and all of them are still failing to return the full user object. It looks like this might be just an issue with the xml format of / users/show (the json output seems to contain all the data). Thanks for all the hard work.
