[twitter-dev] users/lookup Bug with incorrect attached statuses
Before I post this as an issue is anyone else getting this problem. When I lookup multi users by username I get correct information on the user but the status supplied is an out of date in some cases.

Bit more on this one, I am using include_entities set to true and getting the junk results. If I turn it off I get the correct results but I need the entities.

I solved this problem with a very hackish plugin I'm calling Twitfilter. It's basically a heavily modified version of an existing plugin, Twitbin, with a new feature called Filters. Upon logging in, you click on Filters, add the names of the people you want to contact, enter the tweet, and click send. It automatically sends a direct message to all those people. I'm still trying to fix a timing issue, and some of the gui needs to be cleaned up (I was up very late this morning writing this), but the core concept is there.

Click on that, and either click on login (mouseover the buttons until you find it) or click FRIENDS. 4.

Responses to these methods are cached until the user's social graph changes. The responses come direct from our denormalized list data stores, and should be reasonably fast even for users with a large number of followers/follows. These new methods are most useful for services that are maintaining a cache of user details. If you see a user ID that you don't have cached, you'll have to call /users/show to retrieve that user's details. But for services with large user bases, or those that simply want to diff a user's social graph over time, we hope these methods will come in handy.

This is really useful, however would be even more useful if you offered an unrate limited service to return the username for each userid. Problems I foresee. 1 user uses your web based app and the user has 10k followers and 10k friends and thats your limit used up for the hour. Even with caching using this is pointless for apps with large numbers of users. solutions that would work for me. return the user name as well as userid(yes I know this can change but most people will want to get it, make it optional) or let us use the search api to return user data using a userid like the username.

Re: How API will works after OAuth?
Have you guys considered maybe tweaking the basic auth system to something like what friendfeed has. Each user could be given a third party system generated key to use instead of a password and then basic auth could still be used and not tired to the system password. If the user felt their account had been compromised by an app they could just generate a new code and also this would protect the users account from hijacking. I know you don't want to have 2 different systems for auth but this could be used for legacy apps and for use cases like funkatron mentioned earlier in the thread. Cheers On Feb 5, 4:59 am, Cameron Kaiser spec...@floodgap.com wrote: Thanks for the feedback, guys.

Re: New API methods to retrieve social graph without pagination
Hey Alex, any chance of adding a way of looking up the user name to the search api instead then? On Feb 5, 6:19 pm, Alex Payne a...@twitter.com wrote: The reason why we can provide the list of IDs without any pagination is that it comes directly from our denormalized list data store, and requires no joining, either in SQL or at the application layer. As soon as we pull in data like screen_name that's sitting elsewhere in our architecture, the response time slows down drastically. So while I do understand that it'd be more convenient, my hunch is that the quality of service for such a method would be intolerable. dougw wrote: For all those wanting id AND username attributes to be returned with these new methods, be sure to head over to http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=265and vote (click the star) to signal your support. @dougw On Feb 5, 11:40 am, jstrellnerjstrell...@urltrends.com wrote: Thanks Alex, I too, would like to see this return userids AND usernames. -Joel On Feb 3, 5:01 pm, Alex Paynea...@twitter.com wrote: Happy to announce two new API methods today, delivered in response to developer demand for an easier way to keep tabs on users' social graphs.

new api method requests
Hi there, I am not sure if this would be to much work to implement or where to suggest new methods so I thought I would ask here. I would like to be able to auto complete users friends when they type into a textbox. Currently the only way to do this is to get a complete list of the users friends and starting from there. I would like a method like returnFriendsStartingWith(:characters) which returns a list of usernames if they are friends with the authenicating user or maybe just returnFriendsStartingWith (:characters, :username) for any user. I think this might also let developers retrieve friend info with less api calls. Kind Regards Darren

problem returning a public status
Hi there, I run crowdstatus and am updating my code to use gnip and therefore only connect to twitter when I need to instead of polling when the user wants some info. I am getting the error - Clients may not make more than 100 requests per hour. How do I get around this? I am not logged in with an account as it is not needed to access these files (public users status xml). It works fine on my local machine and I have done over 100 requests in an hour. Is twitter blocking crowdstatus.com? I would love to resolve this as its a real blocker for the new version of crowdstatus. Kind Regards Darren
