[twitter-dev] Avoid verify_credentials fetch during OAuth login?

2009-05-08 Thread David W
Hi there, I've got my application working sweetly with Twitter authentication, but the number of round trips is annoying me. Presently before I can look a Twitter account up in my code, I must call verify_credentials to find out the authenticated session's Twitter user_id. Is there some way to

[twitter-dev] Public timeline sample data set.

2009-05-20 Thread David W
Hi there, While working with the Twitter API last night, I found myself thinking of some crazy ideas for use of the full public timeline feed. Proving these ideas would be pretty simple given a sample of the timeline on my laptop, and so I was wondering if such a thing is available? Basically,

Hey there, I was wondering what my options are for doing ID - name resolution. I want to track changes to a user's social graph, and when changes occur, resolve those follow(ing/er) IDs back to names. I can easily make multiple GETs to users/show for small sets of changes (and I'm caching

Hi there, A few notes on the new cursor-based API. Despite promises a month ago, it's not documented (except in an e-mail to this list) Rather than have the old, admittedly broken API return errors, you've elected to keep it up, corrupting databases everywhere. What was the thinking behind
