person I follow isn't showing up in my home timeline. I can see older
tweets from this person in my home timeline and in my @ timeline, but
not the latest one.

Periods and parentheses are valid url characters. Assuming that an
adjacent period or closing parenthesis is not part of the url is a
gamble. The most sensible urlification includes all valid characters
until it finds one that clearly delimits the url such as a space.

You can get pretty sophisticated and have lots of heuristics to guess
what the user actually meant. For example, a period followed by a
space and a word that starts with uppercase almost certainly means
that the period was the end of a sentence and not part of the url.

I've checked into the streaming API and it's in alpha testing. As this
is a live website, we can't necessarily rely on that.
The whole idea was for a tweet to count as a "vote" for a submission
on our website based on each submission having its own hashtag. If
this won't work, then I'm not sure wh

Hello All,
I have basically a test oAuth account for an application. It has been
suspended and I really am baffled as to why. My live app is not suspended,
just this test app, used for a separate domain.
My app does not broadcast, except in one very limited use-case and no users
have been affected
Hi all,
The tweepy twitter client uses api.twitter.com for the host for oauth calls:
REQUEST_TOKEN_URL = 'http://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token'
AUTHORIZATION_URL = 'http://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize'
AUTHENTICATE_URL = 'http://api.twitter.com/oauth/authenticate'
ACCESS_
Update on this item:
Twitter responded and said the cause of suspension was because of the name
of my app.
It was named "stats" and twitter api deemed this could be confusing to
users.
So, something else to keep in mind if you incur an app suspension.
Thanks!

Yeah it seems like app developers using retweets need to account for

The yo-yo ride of the retweet API gave me this idea. It depends on
proper versioning of the API by Twitter.
Twitter creates an API call that returns the current working API
version. We query that method and use that version of the API for our
calls.
If something goes down, Twitter simply pushes o
