Hello,
I'm trying to use the 'since' parameter (on the URL via a GET call)
when retrieving the list of friends:
http://twitter.com/statuses/friends.format
No matter what date or format for the date I use, it seems I always
get all friends back.
Can you confirm this parameter indeed works.
Im having trouble writing a script that tweets the title and urls of
events getting posted. I go to texas aM and am trying to tweet the
games and other events, so my literal tweet is
AM vs tu Football Game http://www.mysite.com/beta/showevent1.php?id=482
but it only tweets A...thats it OR it
I have been digging around the API documentation all day and cannot
really find how to do this. I would like my app to be able to browse
our users contacts and find matching users in Twitter (much like
twitters main site does with google, yahoo, and aol). What methods
would I use to do that?
Will there be a retweeted from client field? I would love to get
this data to see which Twitter client/tool aids and promotes spreading
of tweets.
I've been using the List api in my app, and just noticed that the POST
method to /:user/lists.:format returned the correct response, but
didn't actually create a list.
I've been following this api document:
http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method:-POST-lists
What I did notice was
The tokens are definitely short-lived, and I don't think there is a
way to use them on the server side. It's likely not meant to be a
simple implementation of oAuth.

Is this from your own app that you wrote using the API? I'm not sure I

Don't think this solves the problem you're talking about necessarily,
