[twitter-dev] Retweets and the Public Timeline

2009-11-18 Thread Tyson Lowery
I've noticed that with the new retweet feature, retweets no longer appear in the user_timeline API calls. Is this intentional or is this a bug? If it is a bug, any ideas on the expected fix date? I noticed a lot of complaints about this searching on twitter (like "hey, retweets don't show up in

Let us know what you decide, I know a bunch of apps are waiting to see what direction this goes in. Also, I didn't understand this point, "because clients that don't implement retweet have the (likely) potential of creating a very confusing experience for users." Can you elaborate with an example?

Our application has some features available to users who authenticate, some features for those that do not authenticate. I guess I'll put this in the authenticate column for the time being. If it is available publicly on twitter.com, you should allow access to it via the API without authenticatio

Well this is interesting. If you use statuses/user_timeline and specify the format as RSS or ATOM, you get the retweets. If you specify XML or JSON, you do not get the retweets. I don't think the format should impact the result set. On Nov 23, 11:24 pm, Abraham Williams <4bra...@gmail.com> wr

They seem to be against this, for reasons that are beyond me. You also have the problem that if the user hasn't authenticated the App, there is no possible way to get the retweets. On Dec 8, 9:41 am, Cameron Kaiser wrote: > Any thought given to adding an 'enable_rt' argument or somesuch to metho

The decision to leave out retweets is incomprehensible. I don't see who it benefits to leave these out, besides maybe the programmer at Twitter who has to do the work to include them. The API Programmers don't like it, the confused Twitter users who no longer see Retweets in their favorite third

Two quick points. You can't easily fetch those two timelines, unless you have been authenticated by the user - which is the point of this thread. Statuses_retweeted_by_me requires authentication. Also, ironically some applications were broken by the introduction of Retweets. Retweets used

I noticed this as well. When I did that, I thought maybe that meant everyone would be grandfathered in, but from reading this thread I do not think that is the case. This also makes it difficult for us to troubleshoot this with our users since we won't know if they have the old token or the new t

I think I found the answer from themattharris: > How do we know what the access level of a user token is? This is a great idea and one the team has discussed. What we are going to do is add a new header to authentication requests that will tell you the access level of the token you authenticated
