2010-01-20 Thread Jaanus
On top of all that, AFAIK the 1500 limit for OAuth is still vaporware at this point, so everybody is capped at 150. To inform the discussion, I wonder if Twitter could share any figures like what's the actual API use distribution? Like what combination of users/apps hit the cap regularly and

You order all parameters EXCEPT the signature, then create the signature, then append the signature to the end.  All other parameters should be in order. I am under the impression that sorting is only required to generate the Signature Base String. I haven't seen anything in the OAuth spec

Is there a reason why the OAuth URL in the api wiki could not be HTTPS by default? Why would you want to recommend HTTP over HTTPS? (I know that OAuth was designed to be safe over HTTP, immune against man-in- the-middle and all, but HTTPS just gives me a warm and fuzzy feel. ;) rgds, Jaanus

The one other thing you might want to do is to update the interface on http://twitter.com/oauth, which is where you configure your OAuth apps. This returns you the URLs to use, which are now different from what the wiki says. twitter.com/oauth should also return the correct updated urls. On Mar

Thanks, good feedback. Yep, it is always preferable to be explicit about specifying the intent. API versioning and explicit options are both good ways of doing that. The kerfuffle around the popular searches being injected happened exactly because there was previously no way to specify intent.

Interesting thought: Twitter is the *only* major API I'm aware of that does *not* require a per-user or per-company API key. Sure, there's the oAuth *application* keys, but there's no API key that tells Twitter this activity is coming from Ed Borasky, regardless of IP address or account or
