We coded our enterprise application anticipating getting whitelisted, but alas that seems to not be in the cards. So we have started to code against the Streams API, but I have a few questions, I hope this is the right place:
a. I applied for Site Streams Beta Whitelisting more than a week ago, the application said it is looked at more or less once a week. Is this accurate? When might I hear? (Company is MediaRoost) b. We are using code to test in the meantime with User Streams, just to get an idea of what to do. I can see how after initial REST calls to prime the pump that Messages, Mentions, Timeline additions, Follows, Favorites, User Profile changes, etc will be streamed, and I can see how to deal with this. It is doable. However I do not understand how to keep track of some info in the Streams API, and wonder if these just will require the REST API 'forever': a:Consider a User who is not me (the authenticated user). I want to see their profile info. I do not see how the Site/User Stream will send that to me. b: Consider a User who is not being followed. I want to get their tweets (etc) via the streaming API. (I know how to get the tweets they sent via the REST api.) BUT: Since they are not being followed I will not have seen their tweets on the streaming API. Do I have to always use the REST API for this? If this is not the right place to ask these questions, please point me where to ask. thanks, Mark -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk
