[twitter-dev] Re: Suspended Account - Need Help!!!
Someone on a tread once said, Do you want free business advice: don't revolve you business plan around twitter. Twitter is free. I'm happy to trade small downtime/performance for something free. That's my 2-cents. - @robertbanh On Thu, Aug 20, 2009 at 9:11 AM, Duane Roelandsduane.roela...@gmail.com wrote: what is more concerning is that it appears that Twitter just blanketly suspended several of our accounts and our users accounts that had any tweets posted recently from our application. Is it possible that these customers of yours had their accounts suspended for activity that had nothing to do with your application? The fact that they are your users doesn't mean that they are -only- your users. Nor does it mean that their suspensions are related to your application.

I think the idea is that you shouldn't be able to make any API calls from the app, if the Twitter account from where you registered your application is suspended. Meaning, a suspension would be an effective blackout of your app. I don't know if that's the way Twitter intended it or implemented it. I have not yet added OAuth to my site, so I don't have in-depth knowledge of it. Dewald On Aug 20, 10:03 am, AccountingSoftwareGuy virga.rob...@gmail.com wrote: Oauth

You can call this command and check your rate limit:
http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-account%C2%A0rate_limit_status
But mainly it's a common problem. It'll clear up in a few hours. I
recommend caching if you want it to work 100% of the time.

Hi all,
We are developing a social network and part of the functionality is to
allow the user to enter their twitter user name and display their
public twitter feed on their profile.
I am using Zend Framework and until recently, our testing was working
just fine. A user could simply enter their user name and we would
retrieve and display their timeline.
Now, we are getting a connection timeout Error #110: Connection timed
out
Is this possibly because we are being rate limited? I doubt it because
we have no users yet.. just our own internal testing.. but I can't see
why this would just stop working.
This is the line of code we are using
$client = new Zend_Http_Client('http://twitter.com/statuses/
user_timeline.json?screen_name=' . $user-
twitter_id .'count=50page=1');
$response = $client-request();
So we're basically just retrieving a json feed.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
[twitter-dev] Re: Cannot get followers past page 101 on the Api?
Sounds like twitter may have implemented a checker for that DoS attacked. Something like, if the server gets hit by the same IP after 500 continuous call within 3 minutes... it will return null for the next 10 mins? I'm just guessing here.

I run a twitter follower counter on my account- @mrlandmark. This service sends a tweet out when a follower gets so many followers themselves. However since july 23rd when you did some updates i have bee having this particular problem. The problem is that, with the api calls, i get 100 followers on each page. It only recovers to page 101. After that it comes up blank. This can be mirrored when you check my twitter page on the web- http://twitter.com/Mrlandmark/followers?page=501 (ok, good) http://twitter.com/Mrlandmark/followers?page=502 (empty, no user) This only started happening on july 23rd, it is not to do with the changes in followers numbers, i have over 19k followers so i should be getting 193 pages when api calling. Before this update i was getting all the pages with no problems. Can you gove me advice to fix this or as i suspect this is a problem on your end? I have search google and many other people have this same problem. This is particularly important to me because my service relies on checking my followers every hour to make updates. With it stuck at page 101, it means that the people who followed me first will have no use for my service as i cannot check it. Thanks in advance!
