[twitter-dev] When will we be able to upload images?
I see that the new Official iOS Twitter App allows users of the Sainted iDevice to post photos (http://twitter.com/mariazverina/status/79134307079303168/) Any idea when this will be available to us lowly developers? -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: https://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: https://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: https://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/twitter-development-talk

[twitter-dev] Re: HTTPS profile and profile background image URLs are being added to user objects
Thank for implementing my suggestion ;-) (http://shkspr.mobi/blog/
index.php/2011/05/a-minor-twitter-privacy-bug/)
A quick question. Why add a new field? Why not use the existing one
IFF the request came over HTTPS?
On May 16, 11:27 pm, Matt Harris thematthar...@twitter.com wrote:
Hey everyone,
Later this week we'll start to add two new fields to the user object
responses from the Streaming and REST APIs (not Search). Due to caching, not
all objects will have these fields immediately so you should check they are
present in the response before using them.
The two additional fields are the SSL versions of the profile_image_url and
the profile_background_image_url. They will be identified in the user object
by the attributes:
profile_image_https
profile_background_image_url_https
For example, the @twitter user would look similar to this:

[twitter-dev] Inconsistency between JSON XML for favorited retweets

[twitter-dev] Re: Using OAuth with twitter mobile
Hi, The Twitter OAuth page should automatically detect mobile phones via their User-Agent string. It will then display a mobile friendly OAuth page. That's how we do it on Dabr - you can see the source at http://code.google.com/p/dabr/source/browse/#svn/trunk/common Terence On Jun 28, 2:46 pm, virus sushantro...@gmail.com wrote: Hello developers, I'm a new user of OAuth and twitter both :). I need to develop a web application which is able to authenticate a user using OAuth.

[twitter-dev] Re: since_id confusion
To make this slightly clearer Imagine I have retrieved a page with 20 statuses. Status IDs are 60 ... 40 Calling the timeline with max_id=40count=20 allows me to step back in time. It gives me 40 ... 20 Suppose I just want to see *next* 20 tweets since status_id 60? I would expect calling the timeline with since_id=60count=20 to give me 80 ... 60 It doesn't. It gives me 100 ... 80. That is, the 20 most recent tweets from *now*. I want the reverse of that. The 20 tweets from *since_id*. Is there any way to get that? I don't want to call the 200 most recent tweets and try to find the 20 I'm looking for, partly on bandwidth processing grounds, but also, if the user is, say, 300 tweets deep into their timeline, they'll miss tweets.

[twitter-dev] Re: link wrapping on the API
Would it be possible to use a 3rd party URL lengthener (like http://longurlplease.com/) then use that? Alice posts bit.ly/foo Twitter changes it to t.co/bar LongUrl returns bit.ly/foo resolves to example.com App shows a href=http://t.co/bar;example.com/a When Bob clicks on example.com, he hits t.co, which then redirects to bit.ly, which then redirects to example. Aside from the annoyance / speed on a mobile of seeing the page reload several times (assuming example.com doesn't redirect) does that seems to be ok?

Will not parsing the image url and displaying the thumbnail in the first place be a breach of the TOS as I haven't sent the users browser via t.co? To repeat another request will you be providing search results with words inside the URLs redirects like you already do for tinyurl bit.ly?

I guess this change will make frontend text handling more difficult. Counting characters in a text box must figure out what is a URL.
