[twitter-dev] Looking for a twitter programming guru

2010-06-09 Thread RV
I have an idea about a twitter project, and am looking for a twitter
programming guru to spend an hour or so with me face to face to get me
started off. People who want to do this as a pair programming project
are welcome. All I am looking for is to get an idea about how easy or
difficult would it be to do what I have in mind. So I am looking for
someone with some experience in Twitter APIs. I live in Newark (East
Bay) in the San Francisco Bay Area...

I don't expect to make money off this project. :-) I will probably
open source it; and I have been out of a job for a while. So all I can
afford to buy the guru is probably some snacks/coffee at
Starbucks... :-)


Thanks,
RV

[twitter-dev] encoding password

2009-07-21 Thread RV

Hi,

I have been using the twitter api for 2 weeks now and everything seems
to work, but i have 1 problem with a certain user to get his user
feed. Í'm using curl to retrieve the data but im getting the following
error:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
hash
  request/statuses/user_timeline.xml/request
  errorThis method requires authentication./error
/hash

Out of the 25 twitter users im collecting data from this one is the
only one that is giving me problem. I have checked if the supplied
username + password are correct and they are. There is one thing
though this user uses special character in his password (-sign). I've
tried urlencoding the password and using htmlentities, both resulting
in the same error. Does anyone know a sollution to this problem?

Best Regards,
RV
