[twitter-dev] Re: Search API to require HTTP Referrer and/or User Agent
Hi all, I'm fairly new to app development and am working with Google Appengine at the moment. My app (http://www.twitwheel.com/) makes two calls to the search API for each page view. I've just added the user agent to my urlfetch calls. Do I still need to worry about the 100/hour rate limit? I've only just started testing and am open to alternatives and suggestions. thanks! -Jeff Easter On Jun 17, 4:41 pm, Dewald Pretorius dpr...@gmail.com wrote: Setting theuseragentis not only in the best interest of Twitter. It's in your best interest as well. I've been setting myuseragentfrom almost day #1 of my service, and on several occasions it has helped me to get quick response and issue resolution from the API team for both REST and Search API issues, because they could easily locate and isolate my calls in their access logs. This is something only the spammers need to worry about. For bona fide services this is a big plus. Best, Dewald
[twitter-dev] Re: created_at format change
yes, I found this as well. -Jeff On Jun 23, 6:02 pm, Christopher Finke cfi...@gmail.com wrote: Around 7:45pm Central time, I noticed that the format of the created_at timestamp changed from Fri, 15 May 2009 14:41:50 + to 2009-05-15 14:41:50 UTC. Was this change intentional? If so, was it communicated anywhere? We had to rush out a fix to our app in order to change the format string we were using to parse the date. (The true issue, of course, is that Python needs a strtotime() like PHP. :-) Chris

Andrew Stone, developer of Twittelator Pro, suggested that we all get together during WWDC and coordinate around the Apple Push Notification Service and other issues of mutual interest. Twitter's offices are just a few blocks from Moscone, so it should be easy for any interested coders to make it over here. Please RSVP with a reply to this thread and let us know what dates and times work for you. Andrew was thinking early one morning, but not being much of a morning person, I'd prefer something later in the day. We'll let group consensus decide. Thanks, and hope to see you in early June. -- Alex Payne - API Lead, Twitter, Inc.http://twitter.com/al3x
