[twitter-dev] Update Limit reached... alternatives/suggestions?
Hi Twitter-developers, I'm kind of a twitter-api-newby trying to use this rest-api in a oauth- enabled server app to send out (too) many updates/tweets. The application is for swim-meets, where we wanted to send out the swimmers' events, like signed-up event# with associated info, heat and lane info as they become available, and results of the race as they become available. This info is tweeted out from one account such that the participants and relatives/friends can easily get that information on their smart- phones by following or searching the tweets and without having to go to print-outs that are taped on the wall. As we have a few hundred swimmers, possibly 50+ events, 4-8 heats, 6-8 lanes... lots of tweets... and I was hitting this update limit after the first test case after about 40-50 tweets. The idea for the app seemed so neat and twitter seemed such a natural vehicle to spread this info...but all the twitter-docs about these update limits seem to indicate that our current set-up simply won't work with twitter. Any advice/suggestions to get this somehow to work is greatly appreciated.

[twitter-dev] Update Status
Hi, Previously We had Updated the status of one twitter account. The work flow we followed is 1)Registering the application in order to generate Consumer Key and Secret 2)Logging in with the Consumer Key pair which in turn generates an access URL 3)the access Url in turn redirects to a page where Access Token and Secret are generated 4)Updating the status of the id with these 4 parameters a)Consumer key b)Consumer Secret c)Access Token d)Access Secret which are all hard coded in the page. Now, We need to Update Status(post messages to the home page of twitter from the user himself) with ANY twitter id . When an update in the status message is done it should be reflected in the home page also. Please guide us in this process. Is that possible with one servlet? What is the flow to be followed? Also is there any possible method by which all the user credentials can be stored for future use.

[twitter-dev] Update on Whitelisting
Beginning today, Twitter will no longer grant whitelisting requests. We will continue to allow whitelisting privileges for previously approved applications; however any unanswered requests recently submitted to Twitter will not be granted whitelist access. Twitter whitelisting was originally created as a way to allow developers to request large amounts of data through the REST API. It provided developers with an increase from 150 to 20,000 requests per hour, at a time when the API had few bulk request options and the Streaming API was not yet available. Since then, we've added new, more efficient tools for developers, including lookups, ID lists, authentication and the Streaming API. Instead of whitelisting, developers can use these tools to create applications and integrate with the Twitter platform. As always, we are committed to fostering an ecosystem that delivers value to Twitter users. Access to Twitter APIs scales as an application grows its userbase. With authentication, an application can make 350 GET requests on a user’s behalf every hour. This means that for every user of your service, you can request their timelines, followers, friends, lists and saved searches up to 350 times per hour. Actions such as Tweeting, Favoriting, Retweeting and Following do not count towards this 350 limit. Using authentication on every request is recommended, so that you are not affected by other developers who share an IP address with you. We also want to acknowledge that there are going to be some things that developers want to do that just aren’t supported by the platform. Rather than granting additional privileges to accommodate those requests, we encourage developers to focus on what's possible within the rich variety of integration options already provided. Developers interested in elevated access to the Twitter stream for the purpose of research or analytics can contact our partner Gnip for more information. As always, we are here to answer questions, and help you build applications and services that offer value to users.

Re: [twitter-dev] Update on Whitelisting
Well I guess this old blog article is irevs now: How Twitter Dropped The Ball on Whitelisting Apps: If you've been wondering about whitelisting and why your app never got Approved [or Denied] then read on. Several weeks ago I posted a ticket per Twitter ordinance on getting a registered Twitter App Whitelisted. The app was for helping users manage their lists and use an intuitive drag and drop interface. To get the data for lists we only receive 20 users on a list of up to 500 twitter users [20 lists per user]. So I needed to be whitelisted to go to product launch. The benefits include but are not limited to an increase from 350 REST calls to 20,000 per hour. Realistically a lot of apps are requesting a lot of data, and 350 calls per hour just does not cut it. See just how much Twitter cares about their developers, the very people that Drive traffic and make it what it is today. A singularity. A massive ecosystem of it?s own. And it's all powered by Apps. While I waited patiently, this message thread popped up on the official TwitterAPI List. You need to read it all to get it in context. This is about a week old. How often should you send a request to be whitelisted? I am finding that in the span of time while I?m waiting for an answer, the nature of my project has changed drastically. So I then resend a request. Does this affect whether you will be whitelisted or not? And should I wait for a rejection before rerequesting in the future? Thank you, - Cassie Hi Cassie, We're almost always behind in processing whitelisting requests. Due to volume, we can't respond to all requests. If the nature of your project has changed, you should feel free to re-apply ? even if you were already granted whitelisted status, as the nature of a project is certainly taken into account in the decision making process. Feel free to follow up with me privately at list with the username you?ve filed a whitelisting request under for expanded discussion. Thanks, Taylor [Taylor Singletary, @episod] We're almost always behind in processing whitelisting requests. Due to volume, we can't respond to all requests? Really? Is not responding at all to whitelisting requests an official policy? If you mean you can't respond quickly, that makes sense. If you mean you can't approve all requests, I agree. But is no response at all a smart, polite, or even efficient way to deal with requests from developers? It seems like a guaranteed way to create discouraged developers. I know you try hard to be responsive, Taylor, and the fact that you will discuss this off-list proves this. So I'm guessing this is a policy you are just repeating. Maybe you can go back to management and point out the flaws in this approach? If a decision is made to deny a whitelist request, and at least a few minutes are spent on that decision, wouldn't it make more sense to reply with a denial? Otherwise the developer is left to repeat the request, which must use up more time for Twitter HQ than sending a denial in the first place. Repeated requests with no response leaves the developer with the opinion that Twitter doesn't want a third-party ecosystem, which clearly isn't the case. It also fills this list with messages from annoyed developers, which doesn't send a good message to new developers. Why can't someone reply with Sorry, we can't approve this request right now due to insufficient resources, but we appreciate your interest in Twitter development. Please try again in the future, as we may have more resources available at that time How many seconds does it take to send this type of email? [Adam] Hi Adam, The lack of response to some requests is due more to them going unread than being explicitly denied. I make a best effort to keep up with the volume of requests and approve or deny each that I process (balanced with my other responsibilities). These produce an email response. To be honest, the volume of requests is so high that we have to take a divide conquer approach, processing recent and dated requests alike. Obviously, this is suboptimal, which is why I welcome direct inquiries to help focus attention. I can't really disclose the volume of requests, but it is more than you probably imagine and the vast majority of them are not actionable due to an insufficient amount of information. We're actively working on a better model for whitelisting as a concept execution, as well as providing a more actionable funnel to ensure that the current situation of developers falling through the cracks is minified. Taylor [@episod] This is a reasonable response, and I'm not trying to give you personally a hard time. I'm hoping that Dick, Ev, Ryan, and other managers will see this and realize that they are turning away developers by not devoting enough resources to this issue. I'm sure if they were asked, they?d say they devote huge resources to developers, which
Re: [twitter-dev] Update on Whitelisting
Thanks for finally making this clear, Ryan. I've been critical of the way Twitter was handling whitelisting for months now. Hiding and ignoring are not good ways to build a developer community. While it would be great to have the possibility of whitelisting, it is much worse to offer that promise to clients and investors and then not be able to deliver it. Now nobody can make plans based on whitelisting. As Edward pointed out in his response, the really devastating thing would be for Twitter to still offer whitelisting on the side to a chosen few. If this is supposed to be a level playing field, please make sure it really is. Breaking that promise would be the worst form of lying. This doesn't have to eliminate apps. It just forces them to change focus. As you say, as long as you are doing things for users, instead of for investors, there is still a huge field to play in, and to make money. This week I have gotten multiple requests to work on projects that tweet for users, and tweet to accounts that are read by users. The key is that this is done for actual Twitter accounts. I see no problem building a solid revenue stream on this type of consulting. I also want to build sites that can be used by many thousands of users, and then monetize them by selling mobile apps, or advertising. I don't see how this change would block that. What is now blocked is the idea of following every user, and every follower of that user, without any actual users asking to do so. Trying to suck in all data and make money on the resulting analysis is not going to happen. Was there ever any money in that anyway? Now the next step in opening up this marketplace is to create multiple resellers of Twitter API data, and let them compete on price. Giving Gnip a monopoly over this market makes no sense. Twitter's biggest problem is the huge volume of requests. By blocking whitelisting you are forcing some developers to cheat by creating multiple accounts and distributing their requests across them. That can never be stopped. What you have to do is make it inefficient, by letting multiple resellers complete and drive the price of Twitter data down. Then the strongest reseller will take the load off of you and offer enough value added that developers will be willing to pay for data. That will never happen when only one reseller sets the price. You are riding a tiger. Good luck, and try to stay open and honest. This is a good step on that path. I've been watching software companies try to manage their developer communities for 31 years. As long as you tell the truth, you will succeed. On Thu, Feb 10, 2011 at 4:43 PM, Ryan Sarver rsar...@twitter.com wrote: Beginning today, Twitter will no longer grant whitelisting requests.

Re: [twitter-dev] Update on Whitelisting
Hi Ed, Some quick answers to a few specific points below: That brings up an interesting question. Suppose I'm using a web-based service like HootSuite that *isn't* using Site Streams (at least, I think they aren't using Site Streams). They're then getting 350 API calls per hour via oAuth in the znmeb account from their IP address. Now I log on to Twitter using the standard web app from my workstation. Do I get another 350 calls per hour because I have my own IP address, or are all IP addresses authenticated as znmeb sharing that 350? With authentication, whitelisting works at the junction of a user and an application. @znmeb using Twitter for iPhone has 350 requests per hour. @znmeb using YoruFukurou has 350 requests per hour. Using one user request in Twitter for iPhone does not effect the user quota for YoruFukurou. A related question - how far away from production is Site Streams, and is there a plan to encourage services like HootSuite to migrate to Site Streams? It seems like it would be a big win for them (and all the other web-based Twitter platforms). Site Streams is nearing availability for general use -- there are a few more t's to cross and i's to dot. In fact, HootSuite is currently a Site Streams beta consumer.

Hi Taylor, Could you please elaborate on IP + user ? Does this mean that the rate of 350/hour is applicable per user?

Re: [twitter-dev] Update on Whitelisting
Ideally then Twitter limits the maximum number of followers, because what good the company had many followers and not speak to them, my project for example needed to talk to each follower individually, not to be in the same time could divide this into three or four days, but with the limit of Dm 250 per day, how to do this with a client who has 10,000 followers? since we have no more to whitelisting, tks Carlos Eduardo On Thu, Feb 10, 2011 at 7:43 PM, Ryan Sarver rsar...@twitter.com wrote: Beginning today, Twitter will no longer grant whitelisting requests.

[twitter-dev] Update on Twifficiency
Hi all, Over the past 24 hours, we've received some questions about the Twifficiency app, so we thought we'd use this as an opportunity to quickly share some information around our Developer Principles. For background, the Twifficiency app computes a Twifficiency score based on different aspects of your Twitter account and posts the score as a Tweet. While the developer included a disclaimer that these Tweets would be posted to Twitter, user feedback indicated that the text was too far down on the page to be noticed before proceeding. As a result, many users were surprised that their scores were being tweeted automatically. Which brings us to our Developer Principles, one of which is Don't surprise users. Specifically, we require developers to get users' permission before sending Tweets or other messages on their behalf. Allowing an application to access your account does not constitute consent for actions to automatically be taken on your behalf. Twifficiency violated this principle, so we suspended the app yesterday afternoon while we worked with the developer to make sure users were better informed about the application's actions and could control whether or not a Tweet would be posted. With these changes --which include a more prominent warning and a checkbox on the main page-- the application has been re-enabled. Our developer principles can be found in our API Terms of Service: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/api_terms Brian Sutorius API Policy

Re: [twitter-dev] Update on Twifficiency
There's another issue lurking here, and that's just how much typical Twitter end users know about what an app can do once authenticated, either using the soon-to-be-history basic authentication or oAuth/xAuth. I think the page Twitter displays when asking Deny/Allow is fine, but I'd be surprised if people really read that. They just push the button. ;-) What it all boils down to is that once you Allow for Read, the application can do *anything* in your account that the API can do with a GET, and if you Allow for Read/Write, which most applications do even if they only read, the application can also POST and DELETE. It can follow, unfollow, block, report spammers, read your DMs, post DMs, edit your lists, and, of course, tweet. And I'd also venture a guess that most typical Twitter end users don't know how to get to Connections/Settings and revoke access. So I think another developer principle needs to be to clearly state which of the many available actions an app can take on behalf of the user, how to detect if the app has taken other actions, and how to revoke access. Twiffiency semi-clearly stated that it was going to tweet, but it most certainly did not state what other actions it was going to take to compute the score. -- M.

[twitter-dev] update profile image once again returning 200 OK but image not changing
I'm getting valid responses back from update_profile_image, but the changes are not taking place. I'm getting back a 200 OK but the xml response still lists the current image, not the new one that I attempted to upload. I tried a manual update using the curl script on the API wiki for this action and same results - valid response with the old image listed in stead of the new one, and no actual change on the account. There's been a couple of issues with profile updates lately, but things had been good for a few days. Is anyone else having issues again? tks.
[twitter-dev] UPDATE: High latency and spurious 401s with the Twitter REST API
Hi Developers, Just wanted to send you all an update that we're still working with gusto on the performance problems you've been encountering (thanks for all the helpful reports!) This week and next we're making a number of calculated modifications that should help ease the issues while we simultaneously investigate and improve other elements of the growing Twitter infrastructure. In the meantime, you'll see requests continuing to take longer than they should (instead of timing out) and you may see 401 Unauthenticated responses for otherwise valid authorized requests. When you encounter this kind of behavior, it's best not to immediately retry requests but instead to back off for 5s or so before retrying a request again. Thank you for your continued patience while we work through these issues; improvements are on the near horizon! Taylor Singletary Developer Advocate, Twitter http://twitter.com/episod

[twitter-dev] UPDATE: Social Graph API Deprecation
On December 22, 2009 we announced that the social graph method pagination of the followers/ids and friends/ids would finally be removed. We announced deprecation in September (http://bit.ly/46x1iL), November ( http://bit.ly/3UQ0LU) and December (http://bit.ly/5VPWk7) of last year. The page parameter will be completely removed 1/11/2010. However, the behavior of assuming that you want the first cursor page when passing no cursor parameter will not. In the December 2009 announcement, I explained that: You should always pass a cursor parameter. Starting soon, if you fail to pass a cursor, the data returned will be that of the first cursor (-1) and the next_cursor and previous_cursor elements will be included. In response to the feedback we received in a http://bit.ly/longDiscussionAboutTheSocialGraph we have decided not to immediately remove support for unreliably retrieving a complete friend or follower list (by passing neither page nor cursor parameters) on 1/11/2010. We understand that too many applications still depend on it. We're working on a better way to pull this data; expect another updated announcement on this list soon with further details. We know that the cursor-based social graph APIs can be improved -- we can provide richer functionality than we currently expose. To do this, we need your help; contribute your use cases for the social graph in response to this message on http://bit.ly/TwitterDevelopmentTalk. With better understanding of how you use the graph data, we can improve the quality and variety of APIs that we provide. Thanks!

[twitter-dev] Update on the Retweet API (we collapse retweets, not you we're adding statuses/retweets)
The Retweet API launch is close at hand. You might have already seen some retweets appearing in the new statuses/home_timeline from people who've been testing them out. We've gotten lots of great questions and feedback about the retweet API. Thanks to everyone who has rolled up their sleeves and gotten involved. It's been a big help. One of the main confusions and criticisms about the retweet API was around what happens when a given tweet is retweeted multiple times. The explanation was that developers need to do their own retweet collapsing. If N people retweet a given tweet, you'd get N instances of that same tweet in the appropriate retweet timeline and the home timeline. You would then have to do your own internal book keeping about whether that tweet had already come in. If it hadn't you'd display it for the first time. If it had you'd update the already displayed tweet. Asking developers to collapse retweets in timelines is onerous, complicated and confusing. We're not going to do it that way. We are going to add a resource that gives you all retweets for a given tweet. In timelines you will get only the first retweet. You can then request all retweets for that tweet at any time to get up to 100 retweets that have been created for it. Here is the documentation for the new resource, statuses/retweets: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-statuses-retweets Sincere apologies if you've already written collapsing logic for retweets. Beta releases are beta releases and I think the retweet API is a lot better without the onerous collapsing requirement. To give you some ideas of how you can use the API to display retweets, here is a recent mock up of one of the potential UIs for the retweets timeline on twitter.com: http://a1.twimg.com/example-retweet-ui-18-sep-09.png If you've got questions, find bugs, or have any kind of feedback, get in touch via the dev mailing list, send an @reply to @twitterapi or jump into the #twitterapi IRC channel on irc.freenode.net. -- Marcel Molina Twitter Platform Team http://twitter.com/noradio

[twitter-dev] Update Delivery Device
Hi all. Someone asked me to include toggling of device updates in an application I help develop. I am a little confused about the one parameter that is required, device.

[twitter-dev] Update on product category
I have no experience with Twitter. Before asking anything this is what I would like to accomplish: That a twitter member would be able to follow a product category updates in an ad site and only in that category. So the site's robot would post to twitter any new ad in that category using the the API. There are more than two thousand categories. Now the question: Is there a way to create different kinds of posts for a single user (the site's bot) that can be followed individually? Or must I create more than two thousand users? If this use is against any Twitter policy please excuse me as I have no experience with it. Regards, Clodoaldo
[twitter-dev] Update API (with OAuth) failed on Unicode tweet
Hello, fellow twitters, My app encountered errors on twitter update API when I try to send Unicode string. My app is writtin in Python, I made a slight modification in a library that is found on http://oauth.net/ My code is not prepared to be opened to public, but I can say that when I send ASCII string, it works. It's like this, when I say %= (a percent sign, and an equal), my app try to sign on a string like this, POSThttp%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fstatuses%2Fupdate.xml oauth_consumer_key%3D...(omit)...%26status%3D%2525%253D A request body is like this, status=%25%3D And, it works, like this: http://twitter.com/khopkun/status/1502555481 Now, I send a Unicode charactor, あ (not sure displayed on your screen properly, it's Japanese) Signed on a string: POSThttp%3A%2F%2F...(omit)...%26status%3D%25E3%2581%2582 And a body is: status=%E3%81%82 (It's utf-8, I guess. 3 bytes needed for one Japanese charactor) then got an error, Failed to validate oauth signature or token status 401. I am wondering why ASCII charactors are okay, and Unicode are not. Any suggestion anyone?
[twitter-dev] Update
Hello, On Twitter API I see 3 actions: Create, Update and Destroy So I can update any entry recent or old given its id? But does it make any sense to update an old entry? Does not tweeter gives visibility to only recent entries? In fact when I login to tweeter I get only the options create and destroy: A side note: Should I call a twitter entry? or twitter post? or do you have any name for it? I am just trying my application to have the same language as twitter. Thanks, Miguel
