[twitter-dev] Re: Creating a list without description silently fails (on website as wel as using API
In my app, the list names are quite descriptive, so until this gets fixed - and I think it will be - I send description=name which makes some sense as the originally input name is transformed (loss of capitals and special characters) and does not appear in the Twitter UI anyway.

Nice find! This is recent, a day or two. There is confusion elsewhere in the doc regarding optional parameters, For example, in DELETE :user/lists/:id, id is said to be optional. If this also fails in the Twitter UI there is hope that it will be fixed soon. For now Bert, this bug is yours: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/entry Ken On Oct 5, 10:08 pm, Bert Lagaisse bert.lagai...@virtual-remote.com wrote: Whenever I create a list, using the twitter.com website, or using the api, and I dont' give a description (which is marked optional in the api), then the list is not created. However, there is no error message. This bug can only have been introduced in the last weeks I think.
