[twitter-dev] Re: graph API call returning 'This Method requires authentication'
A late follow-up on this, but I'm hitting the same problem: - It's only happening with friends/ids.json, all other calls work - Bizarrely I can call it fine from command-line curl on the same machine, but using curl within PHP I get the error - I've tried rejigging my curl/php code to use the in-url syntax (eg someone:passw...@twitter... as the URL) rather than curl_setopt, with no luck The documentation seems to indicate this method doesn't even require authentication, so I'm left scratching my head. If I can create a minimal reproducible case, I'll file an issue, but for now I just want to document this for posterity.

[twitter-dev] Re: heavy throttling by search.twitter.com API from GAE application
I'm not sure if this is related. I've been using Services_Twitter to use the Search API and I keep getting the error message "Unsupported endpoint search". I'm searching a simple 7-letter word. Anyone have any idea what that message means? Maybe this is related to something going on with Twitter's Search API?

[twitter-dev] Twitter recripocal follow feature
Is there or can there be a recripocal option in Twitter that does one or both of the following. 1) When clicking to follow, places a stipulation on acceptance that the followed person agrees to follow the person making the request. 2) Filter to search followed to find out which of those you follow are also following you in return. I would like to be able to set up my Twitter to follow only those who also follow me and to make acceptance a condition of mutual "following". I believe this would be a very desirable feature for Twitter that improves the value of a Twitter account. Thanks. p...@paulkruger.us

[twitter-dev] 401 Error
I need some help Sorry for my English(I'm from Brazil). I'm developing one program using oAuth and c# twitter library... Everything works fine except when I try to send an update using characters like 'ç'... I make some tests and I have strange results... e.g: When I send an update "Vou Almoçar!" (I'm going to have lunch) I get error 401 Unauthorized... but if simply send 'ç' as update I don't get the 401 error...But there is another problem. If i change the 'ç' to 'c' I don't get the error too. Someone help?

[twitter-dev] Re: Build a Library based on OAuth
Well, of course when I wrote "store", I meant to write those values inside web.config file; so in a manner that lets me change them easily. The question here is if it correct to read Token ad TokenSecret and use those values so I have not to log in every times. This is a library that I use inside my server and against my account. Thanks.

[twitter-dev] blocks/blocking - page paramater dodgy?
Hi,
Could be me, but I'm gettings matching returns from blocks/blocking
whatever the page parameter is, logging below.
Also i'm finding the blocking/ids not returning the same as the blocks/
blocking results. Are the /ids/ results cached? If so, is this true of
all the friends/followers/ id methods?

[twitter-dev] Repeating tweets
Hi Wonder if any of you guys can help explain something to me. Why or what causes repeating tweets? For example (and there are loads of these if you look hard enough!) http://twitter.com/#search?q=For%20me%2C%20I%20don't%20see%20what%20he%20said%20as%20simply%20right Why would these accounts be posting the same tweet? It's done via API, obviously by robotic/spam accounts as they appear to be following lots of people but no one following them back. How do these spammers identify which tweets to repeat? (they don't even retweet!) What's their purpose/goal? Should I just report them as @spam as I come across them? I did look for an FAQ or previous post, but couldn't see anything that matched, although plenty of articles regarding twitter spam! Seems to becoming more and more of a problem. Help cure my curiosity :) md2k9

[twitter-dev] OAuth and landing+source searches
I'm trying to understand how to search for tweets originating from an OAuth app. I only seem to be able to do source searches for apps that are grandfathered in from the old basic auth days, e.g. http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=landing+source:tweetie http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=landing+source:twitterrific http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=landing+source:tweetdeck A few questions: 1) Are OAuth-based app sources searchable by name, or is this not yet implemented? 3) How, if at all, do these source names differ from the value of the Application Name field at http://twitter.com/apps/edit/ 2) If the app name has a space, e.g. "Foo Bar", what should be passed for the value of landing+source?

It appears as though some characters are getting multiply escaped in the XML responses, is this by design? Unfortunately, it's causing a problem for an application that I am writing. I am using expat to parse a friends_timeline response and displaying the message in a Gtk application. Consider the following (partial) text element in the XML: ...for fall. ->@inspiredjen The original, intended message reads "...for fall. ->@inspiredjen". As you can see, it appears the greater-than sign is escaped twice...once to >, and then again to >. The problem is, there are other characters in other messages that are getting escaped just once, as you'd expect. For example, in the same fetch I am currently running, standalone ampersands are getting properly escaped as &. The end result is that some characters will display properly and some won't. Oddly enough, it is displaying properly on the web, and in Tweetie. Any suggestions?
[twitter-dev] Getting screen name from user id without rate limit
I'm trying to develop a twitter app that checks if someone is a spammer. I have the userid, but to get the screenname I have to call http://twitter.com/users/show.xml?id= which causes a limit request. Once I have the screen name I could get the data I need without a limit request. Does anyone know a way to get the screen name from a user Id without incurring a rate limit charge?
[twitter-dev] Re: Started getting "Incorrect Signature" but I verified the signature is correct
I'm having the same issue with the same api call. I can call
verify_credentials and get back a valid response but passing the same
details to this resource gets me the "Incorrect signature".

[twitter-dev] Re: Automated URL shortening
I have seen my URLs both shorted and not; it appeared to me that the gating factor was the length of the tweet - if the non-shortened version fit in 140 chars, it would leave it alone. this was just based on observation, however.

[twitter-dev] Re: Automated URL shortening
I use my own URL shortener with the help of WordPress, WordTwit (a plugin). I bought a shortened version of my domain name (joebrooks.me - joeb.me) I get URLs that are like this http://joeb.me/hv ,as long as I keep up my own database the URLS will never fail.

I am actually having the same issue with the same api call. All of my
other requests work but friendships/create gives me "Incorrect
signature".

[twitter-dev] statuses/followers.xml and statuses/followers.json can return different results?
It looks like the two requests don't always return the same content.
I'm seeing the xml version return the following..
Sat Aug 29 14:23:24 + 2009
3625414292
-
It's probably bad form to wear a white dress to a bridal shower when
you're not the bride right? Pity, b/c I have a dress I'm dying to
wear.
and the json return this
status":{..."text":"Next named storm is developing. Hope it does not
get into the Gulf in time to ruin people's Labor Day
plans.","created_at":"Tue Aug 25 12:34:19 + 2009",...
Notice that the status is from several days ago. The user in question
has a protected account, if that makes a difference.
[twitter-dev] if you will be using the Geolocation API ...
reading up on the dev list, I noticed some replies to the geolocation thing and sorry to matt for picking his reply ;)) I'd like to add some of the "usual stuff we know US based devs do forget but would be really great if they just thought about it because the rest of the world likes to use them too". Also I am surprised that the geolocation of the person can be attached to the tweets but still not to the profile - something which would make location based services so much easier, even without having each tweet tell the world where you are? Short summary: - when developping your app, please make sure to get international users to test them and get their input so you don't make something US-only - before adding a geo location to every tweet, i rather expect people to be willing to add a real location in long / lat to their profile. having it just in the tweets is the second step without doing the first. the ecosytem would profit much more from it, would it be a profile thing.

It's not like > browsers are actually accurate as an actual gps (netbooks iPhone... > Chipsets will change that soon) great. my zipcode is 23554, and that resolves to Lübeck, SH. :) As in: there is more on the world than just US zipcodes. Searches for anything outside of the US have been proven to be quite ineffective as they resolve around things currently like name of town. And that usually fails alone because the search does not recognize the name of the town as it is locally. // Sorting / overemphasize of state level Very often, location based application do go for the state level (as the US has so many of them) and does include the country, but neglects that others might like geographic centers. If you do an application please use a format like continent - country - town - exact location state in this is optional in many cases and not the center point in many countries. more often than that, there is the additional level above town like "car plate key" or else. // Outputting wrong characters if you use the application to resolve against something with the coordinates please make sure your application does understand special characters when you output them (like Lübeck) // I dont want to share that As a user, I might want to share with the world my country or my town where I am currently at but not pinpointing me on the map. Matt also brought up the the point about threats on exact geolocation. I know of at least one couple who got separated because the guy did a location aware thing from the new girls house. But I would not mind sharing my location in my profile in general. For purposes of human profile readers, I do not put long and lat in my profile, and if I do use the correct "Lübeck, Deutschland" most of my visitors do not understand if they are from outside Germany. Which is why I am opting for Germany. Not because I want -but because that is the lowest thing we all can agree on being understandable. Nicole

Why would they want to see their own messages then? besides that, going for @username is good in the search - except the search has proven to provide unreliable results in the past. sign up for a service like tweetlater and hootsuite and do the same tracking in all three services, and notice the differences. add the @replies on the website and it is the best to cache the results back at your place. ;) NIcole
