The user timeline returns only the user's tweets for me.

[twitter-dev] Re: Account Owner's last tweet
Both API calls show replies from followers. I just want the tweets posted by the owner of the twitter account. For example, take a look at TO - http://twitter.com/users/show/terrellowens.xml At the time I am posting this, the last status shows: text@Speaker1234 wassup? Hv a good day/text which was posted by a follower. How do you you go about just obtaining the tweets for just the account owner?

Actually, the account/verify_credentials call also returns the most recent status for the authenticated user. Plus, as a benefit, it's a non-rate limited call.

[twitter-dev] Re: Account Owner's last tweet
At the time I am reading this, when viewing his actual page, his last tweet is shown as Takin of And when viewing the link you gave, that's the same tweet that I see. Also, the tweet you referenced was posted by TO in reply to a follower. That's TO's actual tweet. Look at his page.

[twitter-dev] Re: Account Owner's last tweet
Got it. So all the tweets in a user_timeline or in the status /users/ show api call do originate from the owner of the twitter account (could be a new tweet or a reply).

The tweets for user_timeline which begin with @ are the specified user's replies TO other people. If you don't want to see those replies they've sent TO other people, then you'll need to scan recent tweets and look for the last tweet that does not begin with @. -damon --http://twitter.com/damon
[twitter-dev] Re: Account Owner's last tweet
Again, if your user is logged in and you're really just looking for HIS LAST tweet (current status), use verify_credentials... It's a free API call On 10/6/09 5:19 PM, JK jam...@slip.net wrote: Got it.
