[twitter-dev] Bulk user lookup 502s

2010-04-02 Thread iematthew
I'm looking at updating some of my systems to use the new bulk user lookup method, but I'm getting a high rate of 502 returns in my testing when I try to do more than about 50 IDs per request. Even at 50 IDs per call with a 1 second delay between each (this is a white- listed account), I still rece

If I'm not mistaken, OAuth is still in public Beta. Or did I miss the memo? (wouldn't have been the first time). I doubt it is wise at this point to push OAuth features live to the public. :)

The last I heard, OAuth was still in closed beta. I'm assuming any announcements of an official launch would appear in the API Announcements Google group. The last mention of OAuth deployment in the API Announcements group by Matt Sanford stated launching a general release is strongly discouraged:

I was not aware of this tactic, but I agree with Stuart. The users should and will decide which apps are sleazy and which are not. If the followers of a "poacher" don't care for the tactic, they will vote with a click of the un-follow button and take their traffic elsewhere. On Jan 27, 1:25 pm, S

Perhaps a leaner version for requesting a user's followers and friends would help? Say, a method that only returns the ID and screen name for the user's followers or friends, but in lots of a thousand or ten thousand at a time. On Jan 21, 12:19 am, Jesse Stay wrote: > Alex, you and I have discus
