I've got an error in my twitter client, it showing : Twitter timed
out

Dabr gave up on waiting for Twitter to respond. They're probably
overloaded right now, try again in a minute.
6:Couldn't resolve host 'api.twitter.com'.
See it at my website http://wassabi.co.tv/tweet/oauth

[twitter-dev] please help, problem about twitter api

2010-09-06 Thread yuzhujiutian
now, i develop a twitter client in oauthlib_0.8.9 and c/c++, but it's
always prompt me to login when i code to tweet.

code info:

input_param_url: http://twitter.com/status/update

input_param_search_string:
authenticity_token=c8a742bea4dffc0589132233ec9d61767310383atab=indexin_reply_to_status_id=in_reply_to=source=display_coordinates=falselat=lon=place_id=status=snsetest20100906update=update



then call the function oauth_http_post2(input_param_url,
input_param_search_string, NULL)

and it returns info is: htmlbodyYou are being a href=http://
twitter.com/login?redirect_after_login=%2Fstatus%2Fupdateredirected/
a./body/html

--
by the way, authenticity_token value comes from last operation of
getting friend_timeline.

Automating our web pages is forbidden.

Use the API and OAuth.

[twitter-dev] Please help: Easy way to do Oauth/xAuth from VBA?

2010-08-31 Thread Timo
Hi,

I have an application that posts tweets automatically from PowerPoint
each time a presenter gets to a particular slide:

It's a relatively simple VBA script that uses basic authentication
(until tomorrow, when it gets turned off!) . Because it's a full-
client application, I requested, and obtained, the ability to use
xAuth.

But I've struggled to find an easy way to use xAuth / Oauth from VBA.
I'm not even sure it's possible at all using only VBA -- specifically,
I haven't found any native VBA HMAC-SHA1 code, and lack the skills
to write one (I found this post on SHA1 in VBA, but don't know how to
include the key / HMAC part -- anybody know?: 
http://splinter.com.au/blog/?p=86).

As a workaround, I tried adding a DLL to do the HMAC-SHA1 part, based
on this post: 
http://blog.gobansaor.com/2008/02/22/xlaws-excel-vba-code-for-accessing-amazons-s3-and-simpledb/,
and haven't completely given up, but my attempts so far don't seem to
generate the right signature (i.e. when I cut and paste the available
xAuth demo code from twitter, I get a different result than they do).
I also started checking out the HMAC-SHA1 library from 
http://www.cryptosys.net/#api,
but my application is freeware, so trying to avoid commercial code...

And I know there are .Net VB libraries  like TwitterVB 
http://twittervb.codeplex.com/,
but I don't know how to access those methods/properties from VBA -- is
it possible? Could somebody point me to demo code that shows how to
use something like that from VBA?

Many, many thanks in advance to anybody who can help my application
from dying tomorrow!...

Re: [twitter-dev] Please help - OCRegister is search rate-limited, but we need to use it as a reporting tool

2010-08-05 Thread Taylor Singletary
Hi Sonya,

To request additional privileges for Search, just send an email to
a...@twitter.com from the same email address as you have associated with your
Twitter account. Include as many details as possible, including the IP
addresses your office broadcasts from, and if possible, some example queries
that you run.

While I can't predict whether your request will be approved, it's the
official channel at the moment to request these kinds of additional
permissions.

Thanks,
Taylor

[twitter-dev] please help - sporadic '403 Forbidden:' error message when using OAuth Sign-In process

2010-01-20 Thread eco_bach
Building an actionscript Twitter client and using OAuth for the sign
in process.

Having an extrememely frustrating issue with a sporadic error message.
'403 Forbidden: The server understood the request, but is refusing to
fulfill it.'

I'm using, of necessity, a php proxy to get to the Twitter oauth
authenticate page at
twitter.com/oauth/authenticate/

I get here no problem so I'm assuming there's nothing wrong with my
proxy script.

However, immediately AFTER clicking 'Sign In' I sometimes get the
error message.

Also, when I am getting the message, I can even leave the username and
password fields blank and click 'Sign In'. I still get the error
message, instead of a correct message indicating that the username-
password fields are missing.

Because this error only seems to happen sporadically, without me
having changed anything in my code, it makes it difficult to
troubleshoot properly.

Anyone else experience this?

[twitter-dev] Please Help !!! How do i build OAuth based request for the update_profile_background_image.format API

2010-01-09 Thread Vikram
Hi All,


Please let me know what HTTP parameters need to be included for this
API.

Should the 'image' parameter considered for the OAuth signature base?

How should value for the image parameter be populated?

Should be the byte array of the image file or something else?

Please help me out. If possible give me an example request.

When I try to get the QAuth Request token I get Failed to validate

What can be the possible reason?

If required I can share my entire code with you people.


Re: [twitter-dev] Please Help

2010-01-05 Thread ryan alford
Post your query string.  Don't necessarily need to see the code yet, just
need to see the URL that you are requesting.

The error means that your signature is incorrect.
