Re: [twitter-dev] Entities display_url and expanded_url
Hi Rich, You can't be guaranteed to always have a display_url (there will be many historical tweets without it, or perhaps the service that negotiates display_urls will be down), so you should code defensively, making use of them when they are present but choosing an alternate display method when it is absent. display_url, as you've noted, is also a misnomer since the string contained within the field is technically not a URL, but just a string to display instead of the URL. expanded_url should always be safe to assume as actually being a URL. While it should be safe to assume that all t.co links will have an expanded_url as well as a display_url, I'd still code defensively in the event that something goes wrong.

[twitter-dev] Entities?
Folks, Entities are still borked. And have been, by my reckoning, for over 12 hours now.

Re: [twitter-dev] Entities?
We'll have entities support working better soon, it took time to identify the cause of sporadic missing entities. As you've noted, it's always a good idea to code defensively both for fields that may not exist yet, and especially in the case of something new like entities, for the event that they'll be missing. As you may have noticed, features of Twitter get turned off now and then for maintenance, performance reasons, or other issues. Taylor On Fri, Sep 10, 2010 at 9:21 AM, Andrew W.

Personally, if all URLs are encoded within Twitter's t.co infrastructure, I'd rather have them coded, with an API to decode them and gather analytics.

[twitter-dev] Entities support on the Streaming API
Hey Developers, Many of you have been asking about entities support in the Streaming API and today i'm pleased tell you that it's happening. At 1pm PDT (9pm UTC) tomorrow (Tuesday 24th August 2010) we will be enabling entities through the Streaming API for 10 minutes. This change does not affect the REST or Search APIs. We don't expect this to affect any applications but if there are problems please feedback to us through this mailing list. If everything goes well we will enable entities again on Wednesday 25th August 2010 and leave them on.

[twitter-dev] Entities not working?
For most of the day I was getting the new entities just fine, but for the last hour or two my home_timeline XML request is met with the Something is technically wrong. page as the response. I am using PHP EpiTwitter. This works fine: $twitterInfo = $twitterObj-get_statusesHome_timeline(array(count = $numTweets)); This was working for most of the day, but not recently: $twitterInfo = $twitterObj-get_statusesHome_timeline(array(count = $numTweets , include_entities = true));
