Re: [twitter-dev] Oauth in Twitter via Python
I'd like to point out that this is against the TOS. You should limit your API requests where possible - for a normal application with user interaction you won't need more than 350 per hour. If you do some sort of data analysis, you may need to use streams instead. Tom On 6/4/11 7:53 PM, Correa Denzil wrote: Tom : Thanks. I will create multiple user accounts.

Oh! I should avoid creating multiple user accounts in that case. I would like to perform analysis on a target set of users and not streams. How do I proceed?

Re: [twitter-dev] Oauth in Twitter via Python
If you have the permission of the users, you can probably use their OAuth tokens, which gives you an almost infinite API limit (actually it's still 350 per user, but you won't easily break that). If you want to perform an analysis on a group of users without their consent (without OAuth access), you'll have to find a better way to do it. Tom On 6/4/11 8:12 PM, Correa Denzil wrote: Oh!

Re: [twitter-dev] Oauth in Twitter via Python
Tom : I probably missed the point. I see the targeted users, their data is public and accessible using no authentication but the API limits are too small. I can't gain OAuth access from them.

[twitter-dev] OAuth with Twitter
I had a few questions I was hoping someone could help answer for me: 1. Does Twitter support https:// on all of its API calls? 2. If so, is it possible to use PLAIN_TEXT signatures in OAuth? 3. Does a simple end-user iPhone app need to provide a full 3-legged OAuth request, or can the 2-legged OAuth variant be used as referenced in the OAuth specification (i.e. Application wishing to use OAuth as an alternative to HTTP ‘Basic’, should use the the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret to hold the username and password, and leave the Token and Token Secret empty.? Thanks!

[twitter-dev] Oauth and Twitter for login.
Hi, I have just started to implement oAuth for http://www.twollo.com, and when registering my app for oAuth I noticed: Use Twitter for login: Yes, use Twitter for login Does your application intend to use Twitter for authentication? This is excellent news, for reasons I have mentioned in previous emails, however, unless I have missed something, is there anything I need to do to use this functionality? Or is it just the normal oAuth workflow - I am hoping that it is similar to the way I implement oauth support on http://oauth.twe2.com/ Paul.
