[twitter-dev] Where to submit a bug report?
How do I report a bug? I am seeing what appears to be a bug right now and it is reproducbble in the Twitter Twurl. What I am seeing is a discrepancy in the latest status returned with the statuses/friends web service call. Basically, the XML interface works properly but the JSON one does not. I have a specific user that is not returning the latest status for JSON (but does for XML). I am hoping that someone could take a look at this quickly (yeah, right) since it is reproducible. I also suspect the issue may be related to the fact that the user I am seeing this happen to is set to private. My user account is an approved follower though. As I said, the webservice works for XML, but not for JSON. -- 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
[twitter-dev] Re: Where to submit a bug report?
The statuses/friends method was specifically recommended to me to work around the RateLimit problem I was having. I don't know any other way to get the statuses of approximately 60 users every minute when my app is behind a firewall (preventing OAuth authentication for each individual user). So I use my app's access token/secret to get my friends (and their most recent status). I can't use the statuses/user_timeline because of basic auth going away and OAuth requiring a callback to my server all due to rate limiting and my inablity to get whitelisted. Besides, what is the point of having an API method if it isn't reliable (even when it successfully makes the call)?

You can report bugs tohttp://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list I personally recommend avoiding statuses/friends as it's more of a legacy method than other means of discovering the same information. I personally recommend using friends/ids and users/lookup in conjunction with each other instead. While there's a best-effort to provide the most recent status in embedded user objects, the definitive means to determine this is by getting the most recent tweet from the user's statuses/user_timeline Taylor On Tue, Oct 19, 2010 at 12:41 PM, Joe Rattz joeratt...@gmail.com wrote: How do I report a bug?

[twitter-dev] Re: How to test for one user following another
I am not doing it from the command line with Twurl. I am doing it from the Twurl Console that you provide and it doesn't work.

It was my understanding you needed both, but it looks like when you make an authenticated request (like you do with twurl), you can specify just the target. With that said, I was able to use twurl and specify only the target and get it to work: twurl /friendships/show.xml?target_screen_name=Alternate1985 This used my authenticated user, @tsmango, as the source and gave me the proper response. Is that what your twurl call looked like? Also, if you don't quote the query, you'll have problems with multiple parameters: This one works: twurl /friendships/show.xml?source_screen_name=samvermettetarget_screen_name=Alternate1985 But this one fails with the error you were receiving: twurl /friendships/show.xml?source_screen_name=samvermettetarget_screen_name=Alternate1985 Hope that helps and sorry again for the confusion about needed to specify the source. JoeRattzwrote: That doesn't work either: hash request/1/friendships/show.xml/request errorTarget user not specified./error /hash That's right from Twurl despite the fact that I provided both the source_screen_name and target_screen_name. Besides, why shouldn't the other two methods work? They are documented methods.
