[twitter-dev] Re: Issues with the API this morning?

2009-08-17 Thread Mario Menti
Same here (twitterfeed), we're getting very large numbers (tens of thousands) of 500 timeout errors on status updates. Although the extent isn't quite as bad, the symptoms and messages look like they did during the DDoS attack, so I suspect they are again throttling/blocking some high-volume apps.

2009-08-09 Thread Mario Menti
Seeing similar improvements here (twitterfeed) - feeds with error statuses have decreased from 120,000 a few hours ago to just over 10,000 now, so am assuming it's safe to revert to our default settings and stop the throttling we put into place a couple of days ago. Mario. On Sun, Aug 9, 2009 at 9

Thanks for the update Ryan. One thing I don't quite understand is why it's not an option to allow whitelisted applications to post. I will try and throttle our ( twitterfeed.com) service back, but with nearly half a million of active feeds in the system, I can't quite see how this will help, as eve

2009-08-07 Thread Mario Menti
Don't think it's related to app engine, probably just some heavy traffic ip addresses. Twitterfeed is hosted on multiple servers and services (none of them app engine) and all our whitelisted ips don't work, so we've been dead for the last 24 hours. Sent from my iPhone On 7 Aug 2009, at 13

Thanks Alex - just to confirm, no requests from twitterfeed have been getting though ever since the DOS attack. It does appear to be IP based, as requests from non-production machines (ironically the non-whitelisted IPs) get through, but all production IPs appear to be blocked. On Thu, Aug 6, 2009

Hi there, I have a twitter account I use for my company, which has just over 7,000 current followers. Because we're just about to launch a DM-based support service on that account, I'm trying to programmatically follow all these 7,000 users back, but am stuck at about 1,500, and am getting the "Yo

Hi there, it looks like the web interface is attempting to create hashtag links from hexadecimal characters, inserting an inbetween the ampersand and the hash character, which obviously breaks the display of these characters on the web. For an example, see this post: http://twitter.com/Anritsu/st

Hi there, the way my current (not live yet) twitter OAuth implementation works, it's possible to authenticate the same user more than once, leading to my app storing multiple tokens for the same user. From my testing so far this doesn't seem to be a problem (all tokens still work, and re-authentica
