[twitter-dev] Re: Need help with pluggin
I had this problem too. The solution was to change http://twitter.com/$twitter_id/lists/our-mps/statuses.xml to be http://api.twitter.com/1/$twitter_id/lists/our-mps/statuses.xml NB the /1/. I don't think the domain change matters, but it might.

I would do so... if I could. But that's kind of difficult for me right now. The question: can someone point me to a tool, or piece of sample code, that can dump all my tweets into a text file? Or at least, the last several months worth? Preferably Java or Python code. The reason: I may have had a small, silent heart attack about mid- September. And, strangely enough, my tweets at the time might help my doctor and I pinpoint the approximate date of the incident, because I sometimes tweet about my exercise habits. But I need the tweets all in a pile I can sort through easily. Unfortunately, given that I'm still feeling very unwell, I just don't have the energy to figure out how to get my historical tweet data in a form that would help me do this analysis, or to write the code myself to do so. Can anyone help me out with this? Somebody must have a tool to do this, right? Something that just dumps all my tweets into a plain text file, respects the API rate limits, etc? Thanks for any help you can offer. If I wind up needing to make any mods to open source code, I'll be more than happy to share any changes I make, if appropriate.

Hi everyone,

The problem is that I get either SIGTRM or EXC_BAD_ACCESS crashes from
the call of the getXAuthAccessTokenForUsername method. And I just
don’t know what I’m doing wrong!
Here’s the (stripped) code of a very simple demo app, basically. Just
one window with a username password textfield and a button to start
the action:
-(IBAction)pushLogin:(id)sender
{
NSString *username = [NSString stringWithString:[tfUsername
stringValue]];
NSString *password = [NSString stringWithString:[tfPassword

if ([username isEqualToString:@] || [password
isEqualToString:@]) {
// at least one of the text fields was empty!
[tfInfo setStringValue:@Please supply a username and a
password!];
}
else {
NSString *xAuthAccessToken = [[[NSString alloc] init]
autorelease];
// program crashes at the following line
xAuthAccessToken = [twitterEngine
getXAuthAccessTokenForUsername:username password:password];
[tfInfo setStringValue:xAuthAccessToken];
}
}
#pragma mark MGTwitterEngine delegate methods
- (void)accessTokenReceived:(OAToken *)token forRequest:(NSString
*)connectionIdentifier
{
[twitterEngine setAccessToken:token];
[tfInfo setStringValue:@accessTokenReceived!];
}
Additionally, I set my consumer key secret in my init method:
- (id) init
{
self = [super init];
if (self != nil) {
twitterEngine = [MGTwitterEngine twitterEngineWithDelegate:self];
NSString *consumerKey = @”123…”;
NSString *consumerSecret = @”123456…”;
[twitterEngine setConsumerKey:consumerKey secret:consumerSecret];
}
return self;
}
Does anyone has any advice? What am I missing?
(Checked out the latest revisions of MGTwitterEngine OAuthConsumer.
Is there any Cocoa alternative to MGTwitterEngine that supports OAuth/
xAuth?)
Thank you so much!

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Need Help!! - How Oauth will work in my case?
Hi Rushikesh, OAuth replaces Basic Auth as the way to authenticate with the Twitter API. If you application didn't require a users password before you won't need it now. In this situation you will probably find this document helpful: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/oauth_single_token If, on the other hand, you were asking users for their username and password you will need to ask the user to grant your application access to their account. This process is explained in the Basic to OAuth transition document: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/basic_to_oauth The oauth_single_token page listed above contains information about some OAuth libraries. We list others which you may want to try here: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/oauth_libraries Regarding your question about not using authentication. If your application doesn't need to make any authenticated calls you could just curl the server for information. If you need to request information from an endpoint which we require authentication for you will need to use OAuth. Also, as Justin said, if your account was whitelisted before, it will be whitelisted on OAuth. Hope that helps, Matt On Tue, Aug 24, 2010 at 3:59 AM, Rushikesh Bhanage rishibhan...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Justin, First of all thank you for your reply. I have some questions in your answer?

[twitter-dev] Re: Need help with PayPal security requirements
OAuth does not use any real login credentials, if you consider login credentials as a username/password set. Unless you're using xAuth, I don't think you'll need to worry too much. On Jun 17, 4:17 am, Jonathon Hill jhill9...@gmail.com wrote: I'm trying to get approval from PayPal to use their Preapproval API, and to do so my application must meet several requirements. I won't post the entire list here, because it isn't applicable to Twitter, however since users log in to my application via Twitter OAuth several of them are applicable: A1. User passwords must conform to industry best practices for content Generally, the length should be at least 6 characters, and contain at least one alpha and one numeric. Candidate passwords which meet the static syntactical requirements should also be passed across a dictionary of common passwords, and rules – no passwords of “blink182”, or passwords which are the same as the user-ID, for example. A6. A control must be implemented that prevents the brute force attack of login credentials. A common attack against web sites is to attempt to login in with a variety of different commonly used passwords for a given login id. There must be some method used to ensure that one is unable to perform this sort of attack. A common solution is to lock login attempts on an account for some period of time. In order to ensure that these mechanisms do not generate a means of denial of service attacks against accounts, these lockouts should cancel after a period of time (a few hours is typical). A7. A control must be implemented that prevents brute force guessing of passwords, especially if the attack is originating from a botnet. Typically, this will require collecting metadata about logons, logging them into a central log store, and then performing real-time analytics against that data. If a brute force attack is detected, a strong CAPTCHA (resistant against machine/scripted attacks) would be switched on. There are other implementation techniques, but this is the least invasive from a user experience perspective. Note – this is conceptually and functionally different from A6. B1. Login credentials must only be collected on pages that implement https with Extended Validation (EV) certificates. In order to allow customers to verify that they are truly connected to the partner site and to encourage general good practices, login credentials must be collected on pages that are https enabled, and using Extended Validation (EV) certificates. So, my questions are: 1. Would you guys be willing to add to your API to allow enforcing tighter password requirements as needed? 2. Will you upgrade your SSL certificate on api.twitter.com to one with Extended Validation? It seems like this would be relatively easy and inexpensive to do, and beneficial to all. 3. How doeshttps://api.twitter.com/oauth/authenticaterespond to brute-force attacks on login credentials? Thanks! Jonathon Hill @compwright @rainmakerapp

There is indeed a hard limit to the length of URLs. POST parameters, however, can be quite large. We have many clients that send parameters with hundreds of thousands to millions of terms, so this is broadly possible., Your HTTP client may or many not support this scale. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Infrastructure, Twitter Inc.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Need help with the streaming API syntax....specifically how to point to the track text file without using curl
Let me clarify... You can do one of 1) Use GET, and specify the parameters as part of the URL query string (e.g. http://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json?track=Microsofthttp://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json? track=Microsoft ) 2) Use POST, and pass your arguments in through some VB method.

My example was built right as the pin code method was invented/ implemented in the API. So my example still uses the Browser method that doesn't require a pin code. If you go to your application settings page in twitter and set your Application Type to be Browser you should be good to go. As I understand it the PIN code was invented to help clients that couldn't detect if the browser had been sent to the success callback URL. However, my example doesn't have this issue. My example embeds the browser and communicates directly with it to determine when the callback URL is sent. This technique obviates the need for the pin code. I like to think of my example as a hybrid app -- neither purely a desktop client nor really a web app -- but a little bit of both in the right places. ;-) I've considered adding the pin code, but it seemed to further complicate an already challenging UI without adding any value.

About changing application type to be Browser, then there is Callback URL: box that I have to fill, which I have no idea what do I have to fill in there. But I tried it anyway, and same result. The callback URL can be any URL you like. After a successful authorization this is the URL that's loaded. You should specify the URL both in the twitter app setup and also as a constant in the YHTwitter.m file on line 25: #define kYHOAuthTwitterCallbackSuccessURL @http://twitter.com/; Through the browser delegate methods the client will know that the callback URL was reached and the authorization was granted by the user. This triggers the example app to close the browser window and save the OAuth info to the keychain. Although I would imagine you would want to change it to your own web site for practical reasons, leaving it as http://twitter.com/ should *work* at least for testing purposes.

You should specify the URL both in the twitter app setup and also as a constant in the YHTwitter.m file on line 25: #define kYHOAuthTwitterCallbackSuccessURL @http://twitter.com/; Through the browser delegate methods the client will know that the callback URL was reached and the authorization was granted by the user. This triggers the example app to close the browser window and save the OAuth info to the keychain. Although I would imagine you would want to change it to your own web site for practical reasons, leaving it ashttp://twitter.com/should *work* at least for testing purposes.

So my example still uses the Browser method that doesn't require a pin code. If you go to your application settings page in twitter and set your Application Type to be Browser you should be good to go. As I understand it the PIN code was invented to help clients that couldn't detect if the browser had been sent to the success callback URL. However, my example doesn't have this issue. My example embeds the browser and communicates directly with it to determine when the callback URL is sent. This technique obviates the need for the pin code. I like to think of my example as a hybrid app -- neither purely a desktop client nor really a web app -- but a little bit of both in the right places. ;-) I've considered adding the pin code, but it seemed to further complicate an already challenging UI without adding any value. If you have any other issues with the example code, please feel free to email me directly. I'd be happy to help out.

I've cloned Isaiah's git repository of his AOuth implementation from http://github.com/yourhead/OAuth_ObjC_Test_App/tree/master but I experienced an issue that after the web sheet closed, there is no place that I can put the PIN retrieved from the authentication result, or anywhere in the code that I need to pass the oauth_verifier parameter along with other params. the debugger said that ther is Operation could not be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1012.) Thank you in advance for any response, Cheers, Fares
