[twitter-dev] Re: List creation updated (needs description param)
I can confirm this. I've tried using twitter-async (PHP) and curl. They return XML or a JSON indicating a successful complete when trying to create a list, but no list is created unless I add a description variable. Note, this only started happening this week! Earlier this week I used the exact same code and it created a list fine. Something must have changed this week.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: List creation updated (needs description param)
Hey Marcel, This is indeed a bug. When you try and create a list without a description, the API returns a status code of 200, and what looks like a successful response. However, the list is not fully created, and is not visible on twitter.com. If you then make the same creation call with a description added, the list becomes visible on twitter.com. I tested this with curl and basic authentication 10 minutes ago. Tim.

[twitter-dev] Re: List creation updated (needs description param)
I confirm this behavior, but I just added the "description" field to the input form and it works like a charm. And I find it useful as well. - @NeluLazar On Nov 19, 1:44 am, Rich wrote: > I can confirm this too, the lists are not being created without a > description > > On Nov 19, 4:13 am, Naveen wrote: > > > > > We are seeing this issue as well.. > > > We create a list > > with:http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-POST-lists > > > This is returning all valid data with an id for the list, which > > indicates it was successfully created.. > > > However when we try to get status for the list it is returning 404 > > > Then we try to get the lists using > > >http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-GET-lists > > > And it is not returned in the result, the newly created list is also > > not on the twitter website.. > > > however if we include the description parameter(with empty content) > > the list is created and returns expected data and does show up on the > > twitter website.. > > > There is a bug here...

I can confirm this too, the lists are not being created without a description On Nov 19, 4:13 am, Naveen wrote: > We are seeing this issue as well.. > > We create a list > with:http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-POST-lists > > This is returning all valid data with an id for the list, which > indicates it was successfully created.. > > However when we try to get status for the list it is returning 404 > > Then we try to get the lists using > > http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-GET-lists > > And it is not returned in the result, the newly created list is also > not on the twitter website.. > > however if we include the description parameter(with empty content) > the list is created and returns expected data and does show up on the > twitter website.. > > There is a bug here...

[twitter-dev] Re: List creation updated (needs description param)
We are seeing this issue as well.. We create a list with: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-POST-lists This is returning all valid data with an id for the list, which indicates it was successfully created.. However when we try to get status for the list it is returning 404 Then we try to get the lists using http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-GET-lists And it is not returned in the result, the newly created list is also not on the twitter website.. however if we include the description parameter(with empty content) the list is created and returns expected data and does show up on the twitter website.. There is a bug here... The work around is to just include an empty description field, which should not break anything in the future either.
