[twitter-dev] Re: consistency and ecosystem opportunities
Thanks for the clarification Ryan. Two questions: 1) Do you have a clear definition of what counts as a Twitter client? Is it any app/service that posts updates to Twitter, including apps like twitterfeed and Instapaper? Or is it only those apps that are primarily clients? I'm certainly familiar with the challenge of classifying apps ;) but wanted to know who will be covered by the ToS Section 1.5 and how you think about clients given Twitter's updated stance. 2) In section 1.5.A of the ToS it says: Your Client must use the Twitter API as the sole source for features that are substantially similar to functionality offered by Twitter. Some examples include trending topics, who to follow, and suggested user lists. Is the Who to follow functionality available via API from Twitter for clients that want to offer this? I wasn't aware that it been released as API but may have missed it on dev.twitter.com. Thanks, -mike On Mar 11, 3:47 pm, Eric Mill kproject...@gmail.com wrote: More specifically, developers ask us if they should build client apps that mimic or reproduce the mainstream Twitter consumer client experience. The answer is no. We need to ensure users can interact with Twitter the same way everywhere. I'm not sure you can say these things and simultaneously try to say you have a welcoming developer environment. All third party Twitter developers, no matter what they make, are now walking on eggshells, constantly at risk of offending Twitter's ideas of how users should interact with Twitter. You may feel you need this consistency, but you don't. You want it, and are willing to make tradeoffs to get it. I just hope you realize how big those tradeoffs are, and how chilling it is for Twitter to decide that only certain kinds of innovation on the Twitter API are welcome. -- Eric -- 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] API support for 'first tweet'
hey you lovely people I know we have the limits on search results but would it be possible to request and get back get the first tweet on for som specific searches. So things like profile and tag searches could support this. The historical data wouldn't change, you just need to capture tithe first time. If you searched a tag for example, you could get you limited results and can make a separate call to get just the first tweet - which would tell you lots... Like who, what and when. Might be a good compromise to some of the limitations of results and really help me out :) ! What do others think?

[twitter-dev] Whitelisted on Twitter
Hey guys We're integrating Twitter into our project, and after looking into whitelisting, it looks like the max calls an hour is 20,000. While that MIGHT be enough for us, we're worried that we will come to close to that number during initial launch of our product. Is there a contact number out there where I can call Twitter and talk to them directly? It seems almost impossible to find something for them. I'd love to boost the 20,000 to maybe 30,000 if possible.

Hrm, weird. I attempted adding that param when accessing 'statuses/

something. I'll try it again and see what happens.
On Dec 20, 4:32 pm, Matt Harris thematthar...@twitter.com wrote:
Hi Mike
This feature is supported as documented in that ticket.
To find the right status ID you can call a timeline method with the
parameter include_my_retweet=1.
The include_my_retweet parameter will cause a new datapoint
current_user_retweet to be included in the status if the current user has
retweeted it. This datapoint contains the status ID of the retweet the
authenticating user created. This is the status ID to destroy if you wish to
undo the retweet. If the element is not included it means the user you are
OAuthing with hasn't retweeted that status.
Example:
current_user_retweet: {
id: 26815871309,
id_str: 26815871309

Anyone using PHP can use https://github.com/abraham/twitteroauth . It supports the oauth_verifier (as of its most recent update).

[twitter-dev] @Anywhere OAuth Question
Hello, I've created a full feature app using twitteroauth PHP library found on GitHub, and know most calls like the back of my hand.. haha. I was looking into using the @Anywhere javascript library, and watched the slideshow from a workshop presented by @themattharris, so I seen how to pass the OAuth Bridge Code to a script and convert the OAuth 2.0 token to a OAuth 1.0 token. Now, in my PHP application, I have it storing the users token and token secret so they don't have to login each time they use my app. (i.e., they close out of their browser, come back to my app, it takes their user id upon other things in my system and matches them up to the token and token secret for them in my database, and logs them in.) My question: Is there any way to login a user with @Anywhere without checking to see if they are logged into Twitter or having them click the Connect with Twitter button every time they would go to my app?

[twitter-dev] Re: Really need assistance with a basic user timeline
I suggest using http://github.com/abraham/twitteroauth
Set up an application on http://dev.twitter.com/apps/new
Plug the CONSUMER_KEY and CONSUMER_SECRET you get after creating the
App into the TwitterOAuth script.
Run the script and login, etc. In callback.php; you'll need to print_r
on $_SESSION and save those tokens as strings.
Then you'll want to make a connection to the TwitterOAuth with the
tokens you have and do:
$connection-get('statuses/user_timeline');
$connection-get('statuses/retweeted_by_me');
And you'll be able to structure a list of tweets from that data.
Ultimately, if you are not TOO concerned about having your retweets on
your site, and your tweets are not protected; you can make a
SimpleXMLElement from:
http://api.twitter.com/version/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name=yourscreenname
And structure a list from that feed.
If you need any help and just want me to do it, I might have a little
free time tonight. Give me a holler at m...@michaelhelmick.com

@Taylor: statuses/user_timeline does not return retweets and will return blank if their last status was a retweet.

[twitter-dev] Client hourly limitations
I have several twitter accounts. Each account has generated its own set of OAUTH credentials. I am just using to look at data of those who are following me based on a list of all my followers IDs. I understand that there is a 150 per hour limit on client requests. But after reaching 150 with my first twitter account credentials, I then get this message for all accounts, with different credentials. hash request /1/friendships/show.xml?source_id=110236585target_id=132286315 /request error Rate limit exceeded. Clients may not make more than 150 requests per hour. /error /hash So what is being checked in order to determine the number of times a client has made a request?

[twitter-dev] Re: Auto tweet implementation
Hi Morris, This is assuming you are using the twitter-oauth library on http://github.com/abraham/twitteroauth Add some fields to your member table, oauth_token and oauth_token_secret.. So you're member table may look like this: id, username, oauth_token, oauth_token_secret When a user signs up for an event check if oauth_token and oauth_token_secret is NULL or empty or whatever... if it is then: On callback.php; when the $_SESSION['access_token'] is set, you can store those keys ($_SESSION['access_token']['oauth_token'] and $_SESSION['access_token']['oauth_token_secret']) in your database for the specific user. Now, when a user signs up for the event all you got to do is grab the oauth_token and oauth_token_secret from the database and use those when initiating the Twitter class. Hope this helps!

timrnicholson wrote: I'm properly calling api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline with include_rts as true and retweets are not being included. The only stream that I can get to return retweets (because it doesn't even require the include_rts parameter) is the home_timeline. For example, the following doesn't work: http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline/RWW.xml?count=20page=1include_rts=true The worst part about this is not just that the include_rts parameter doesn't work for including retweets, the returned timeline doesn't even have 20 records in it when there are retweets. In other words, the API is not only ignoring the include_rts parameter but its not even returning the right number of requested records when it thinks include_rts is false. This totally screws up my pagination methods because I'm getting less than the expected number of records back, so my app thinks there's no more timeline to be retrieved. I certainly don't want to just always include a next page link when there really aren't any more records left.

Yes, and your application's consumer secret ends with the following characters: jOU I obviously know the entire string and have the good sense not to reveal it here. The point is, it's trivially easy for me or anybody else to unzip your packaged download and get your secret. You didn't need to send it to me. I can now start spoofing your chrome extension in my Twitter client. I can use your secret to spam the crap out of people, and the folks at Twitter will eventually revoke the key, rendering your chrome extension useless to your users. Don't feel bad, it takes even less skill to get the consumer secret for the twitter client that I wrote. It's not even zipped. Download it and grep the source if you want to... you can spoof me, too! OAuth is not just broken for open source apps, it's broken for any app that resides on a client's computer... it's just slightly worse for open source applications because we have to go through the extra effort of not sharing our secrets along with the source code, if only to pretend that it's somehow making the secret safer. It's not. If you embed a secret into an application that lives on someone else's PC, that secret will be uncovered eventually if it's worth the effort. .mike On Sep 1, 7:08 pm, Abraham Williams 4bra...@gmail.com wrote: I have an open source Twitter client for Google Chrome and this is how I distribute it.

Only Tweets which users engage with will be kept. This means if users don’t interact with a Promoted Tweet it will disappear. Like all of the other Twitter services, there's what the web application reads and writes and what third-party tools read and write on behalf of users via the API. Is there going to be a distinction in the metrics for resonance of a Promoted Tweet between interactions coming from the web application and interactions coming from other sources? Will the analytics be available to the third-party developers, or do we need to build those into our applications? -- M.

[twitter-dev] Issues with parameters in API console
Hi, When using the Twitter API console at http://dev.twitter.com/console it seems support for query parameters is broken: 1. select GET /1/statuses/home_timeline.json 2. under Parameters and values put page and 4 3. press + Add a query parameter 4. press Send The result is always page 1 of the home timeline. Looking at the request I don't see any signs of a page query parameter. Is this a known issue? I tested with Firefox 3.6.6 and Google Chrome on Ubuntu Linux. Also, the documentation for home_timeline at http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/statuses/home_timeline states there are pagination limits (see page parameter doc). I wasn't able to find any specific info in the FAQ; could someone point me to the details? Thanks, Mike

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: statuses/update: Expect: 100-Continue header rejected
Interestingly, last night when I was doing testing I noticed Twitter was rejecting my Expect: 100-Continue header the same way you stated below. Today, Twitter is accepting the header. I'm going to comment it out of my code for now so I don't get unexpected results later. THe payloads are usually so small that the 100-continue behavior shouldn't be needed.

[twitter-dev] home_timeline and mentions from non-followed users
Hello, I understand that the home_timeline API usually does not show replies to people who you do not follow, but it appears that this is true even when you are the one being mentioned or replied to?

Someone I do *not* follow (e.g., @JustinBieber) posts @mdesjardins you look like a turnip shouldn't that show up in my (i.e., authenticated as @mdesjardins) home_timeline API call, even if I don't follow @JustinBieber?

Re: [twitter-dev] OAuth Revoke Token?
A scenario for justifying invalidateToken: - User visits AwesomeApp and wants to connect his Twitter account - AwesomeApp redirects to Twitter's OAuth flow - User fails to notice that someone else, UserX, is already logged in to Twitter in the current browser and clicks through - AwesomeApp detects (somehow, perhaps later) that the wrong Twitter user is connected. They can be a good citizen and revoke the token completely, then send the user back through a full OAuth flow that asks for username/password regardless of sign-in state.

[twitter-dev] Re: Fred Wilson article on Twitter API
Yeah, interesting post form Fred, especially coming a week before Chirp. Are there classes of killer apps that should be built but haven't been? I left a comment on his blog that I would love an app that somehow aggregated the recommendations from my twitter stream for things like books, music, movies, etc. I tend to trust social recommendations often times more than algorithmic ones. And I certainly expect more and more great apps will be built around data mining the tweet stream and the streaming API. What would have to change for there to be 10X the number of (quality) Twitter apps as there are now? A simpler way to make money? More success stories? A fund for Twitter app developers? Changes/maturity in the Twitter platform? I'd be curious to hear what folks think.

[twitter-dev] Detecting Twitter themes using profile_background_image_url
I am working on an app that updates the user's profile background image quite often. My problem is this: I need to be able to detect if the user has set a Twitter theme. If the user's Twitter account is brand new and he does not change any settings, the app can detect the Twitter theme just fine. Complications arise when he changes the background to a graphic file and then maybe decides to change it back to a theme. Any time after the user switches to a background image and then back to a Twitter theme, the API reports back the old background image (using profile_background_image_url) that the user had previously had set before the change to the theme. How can I detect if the user switches back to a theme at this point? Hopefully I explained this clearly enough. It's a little confusing. Thanks so much for your help. This is a huge issue with my app and I would like to resolve it. - Mike To unsubscribe from this group, send email to twitter-development-talk+unsubscribegooglegroups.com or reply to this email with the words REMOVE ME as the subject.

[twitter-dev] Read/write app is sometimes denied read access
I have an application that has read/write access, which tries to create friendships. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't. Ie, when authenticated as mtraven, it works fine, but when authenticated with the test account mtraven_tunes, I get consistent errors like this: request: /friendships/create.json?screen_name=3QD Error from Twitter: Read-only application cannot POST I have cleared out all of the cookies for both twitter and my app so I don't think the problem can be a stale authentication token (the app was originally read-only).

[twitter-dev] Re: Introduce yourself!
Hey folks, I'm Mike Champion, a Ruby/Rails developer outside Boston working at oneforty.com. I've worked with the Twitter API for a couple years off on, working on a friend recommendation site called whoshouldifollow.com (trying to help the on-ramp problem) and wrote a Twitter integration for a mobile photo sharing service called SnapMyLife, and a couple other unpublished/half-finished projects. One of the things we've been playing with at oneforty is how to measure which apps are being used in the wild. We monitor the garden hose (and other sources) to see which apps are posting, but would love to find better ways to know what (non-posting) apps people are using. So having a more structured source parameter would go a long way (which Raffi has been great about). Open to talking with anyone who has thoughts on this area. And I'm excited to see the rumors of having an Sign Up API (http:// www.readwriteweb.com/archives/twitter_rolls_out_new_api_citysearch_first_to_impl.php) which would be great for a site like ours. Finally, I'm interested in figuring out how I can help the Twitter dev community more. Would be curious if Raffi and other Twitter folks have a wishlist that they would like to see the community do. I'll be at Chirp in April and would love to meet other twitter devs, and any in the Boston area before then.

However, I am intermittently able to connect and get successfully redirected back to my app; however, this is pretty rare. The redirection might work 1 time out of every 8 attempts.

[twitter-dev] Search API: Can you have OR relationship with author and keywords?
We are trying to do a search where the results can come from two keywords, or from an author. It seems that the search API has an AND relationship between the author and keywords.

HTML does not make the order of attributes significant, so it's not a good idea to rely on a specific order. Sounds like you want to strip out markup, so you should already be running a whitelist of acceptable attributes, and not let through the the rest. For example, you wouldn't want to let through any inline event handler attributes, or inline styles. This approach will help solve the issue you are having, as well as giving you a starting point for consuming HTML safely.

[twitter-dev] Re: FW: Twitter is Suing me!!!
In short, Twitter has filed a trademark application and in doing so they must attempt to defend the name if they hope to be awarded trademark protection. Twitter allowed its original application to lapse and refiled on April 29, 2009. http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=docstate=4003:eq5aoa.2.5 If Twitter continues to allow developers to use its name without attempting to defend its use it will certainly be denied a trademark. Twitter will also have to inform other existing clients, like Twiterific and TwitterBerry, to cease and desist as well if it hopes for a success application. As an business owner I completely understand Twitter's position here. I'm hopeful however, that they will be equally as diligent in working with the development community to help apps succeed while staying in bounds of Twitter's needs and user expectations. Twitter is at a turning point where it is almost certain to crush a few developers in the process of rolling out its business model. It's a delicate balance, monetize while keeping the development community happy, attracting more average users, and keeping the power users purists happy. Should be fun to watch.

At this point, removing any of those defenses is not an option. - Whitelisted IPs that have a restricted rate-limit is a *known issue,* and we are still working on restoring increased rate-limiting. - OAuth funkiness is a *known issue* which seems to be exacerbated by the whole DDoS thing. - Automatic blacklisting of valid or innocent IPs is a *known issue* and a result of the DDoS defenses. These blacklistings are temporary, though the amount of time they stick is variant upon the number of requests being made. The best thing to do to avoid this is throttle back your requests. We know that this may not be an option for everyone, but if you can, it will help. - Keep respecting 302's as you get them. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT.

[twitter-dev] Re: statuses/replies now include mentions
Great, this will be a helpful change. Any discussion of codifying Retweets in a similar way in the search API? It seems like they are also a subset of Mentions where 1) starts with RT 2) includes a @mention 3) rest of the content (fuzzy) matches a previous tweet by the @mention tweeter. -mike On Mar 30, 10:28 pm, tweetip twee...@mac.com wrote: In changing our code, we've decided: Show my replies becomes Show my mentions but Reply to is not becoming Mention to - it stays Reply to otoh having both my replies and my mentions is something users will ask for... hth :)

[twitter-dev] Re: Passing curl to XML
Hi,
I am really new to all of this. I got the greatbundi's code to work
and also another code. What I am not understanding is why it does not
display other informormation. For instance, for me at least, this
code does not tell me what friend's update I am reading. It only
shows the text and for the life of me I can not figure out why!
A brief explanation would be appreciated. Thank you.

I'm sure I'll have another problem soon, but for now I'm rolling.
Thanks again! :D

I think the XML parser will choke on the headers that are being
returned from your curl_exec.
Try setting this instead:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
You'll also want to set this:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
so that the XML is actually stored in $str when curl_exec returns;
Try that out,

Hello everyone,
I'm working on my first Twitter-related project and am very excited to
be doing so.
What I'm trying to do is create a site that lists my
friends_timeline. With that account, I'm following a group of
individuals in a particular industry.
Right now, I've been able to use curl to display the raw XML. Now I'm
struggling to display that data the way I need to.
Here's what I have written.
blockquote
?php
// set user/pswd
$username = '123';
$password = 'abc';
// create a new curl resource
$ch = curl_init();
// set URL and options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, http://twitter.com/statuses/
friends_timeline/ACCOUNT+NAME.xml);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $username:$password);
// execute and pass to browser
$str = curl_exec($ch);
// close curl resource
curl_close($ch);
$xml = simplexml_load_string ($str);
foreach ($xml-status as $status) {
print $status-text . \n;
}
?/blockquote
Again, this outputs the last 20 entries in friends_outline as XML
just fine, but fails at the array. The following appears immediately
afterward.
blockquote
Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]:
Entity: line 1: parser error : Start tag expected, '' not found in /
projects/tweets/test/curltest.php on line 20
Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: 1

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /projects/tweets/

I only have rudimentary PHP skills, but I'm a fairly quick study. Any
advice is appreciated!
Thanks in advance for the help!

Re: Storing twitter info on my database
Search the archives and you'll find that for the most part it's perfectly fine. However sending an email off to a twitters legal team, with a better description of what your planning to do would not go astray.

Re: IP ranges from The Planet will be blocked
Oh no, I commend Twitter as well. I was talking about the planet. Twitter is not a corporate... not yet at least.

If the ISP is uncooperative you block that range as it's the ISP's responsibility to manage their subscribers (which is why large chunks of China, Russia, and the Ukraine have found their way into my firewall rules). Responsible ISP's can quarantine the user(s) so in this instance, unfortunately, anyone from this ISP will be impacted by Twitters logical decision. Perhaps when enough customers from The Planet complain that ISP will have no choice but to resolve the abuse issue which began this mess... and if not Zac, maybe it's time to shop for a new hosting provider?

Re: rate_limit_status
Alex, this seems to have been resolved for me about 30 minutes ago.
