[twitter-dev] users/lookup POST read-only applications cannot post

2010-09-07 Thread Brian Maso
I just started getting this error message within the past hour for my
application. My application is read-only in the sense that it never
updates a user profile or posts any tweets or anything. My application
does, however, use the users/lookup.json API, and I use POST because I
am requesting many profiles at once when I use the API.

Does the Read-only indication on my application's profile mean I can
never use POST? Anyone else seeing anything similar?

Yes, we have a global catch-all rule that all POST operations are
write operations.

User/lookup is typically a GET operation anyway (
http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/users/lookup ) and you can pass the
up-to 100 ids as a long query string parameter, provided your HTTP
implementation allows for the length you're aiming for. For best
results with the lookup API, I recommend keeping the limit a bit below
100 for best operations.
