[twitter-dev] Re: Introduce yourself!

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hello folks,

My name is Arnaud Meunier and I'm a Paris-based Twitter Developer &
Web Entrepreneur. I built http://twitoaster.com a real-time (thanks to
the streaming API) conversation threading service / client helping
people and businesses to improve and optimize the way they communicate
with their Twitter followers.

I signed up for Chirp, and I hope to meet many of you there!

All the best,
Arnaud.

[twitter-dev] Re: [twitter-api-announce] Upcoming changes to the way status IDs are sequenced

[Arnaud Meunier]

Sequential ID generation is quite useful on my side, because I can trust
these INT to compare tweets date (and sort them, for example).

Because of the "random part" you're mentioning, the "bigger ID == Older"
rule won't always be true. This can be quite problematic.

All the best,
Arnaud.

Hi Developers,

It's no secret that Twitter is growing exponentially. The tweets keep coming
with ever increasing velocity, thanks in large part to your great
applications.

Twitter has adapted to the increasing number of tweets in ways that have
affected you in the past: We moved from 32 bit unsigned integers to 64-bit
unsigned integers for status IDs some time ago. You all weathered that storm
with ease. The tweetapoclypse was averted, and the tweets kept flowing.

Now we're reaching the scalability limit of our current tweet ID generation
scheme. Unlike the previous tweet ID migrations, the solution to the current
issue is significantly different. However, in most cases the new approach we
will take will not result in any noticeable differences to you the developer
or your users.

We are planning to replace our current sequential tweet ID generation
routine with a simple, more scalable solution. IDs will still be 64-bit
unsigned integers. However, this new solution is no longer guaranteed to
generate sequential IDs.  Instead IDs will be derived based on time: the
most significant bits being sourced from a timestamp and the least
significant bits will be effectively random.

Please don't depend on the exact format of the ID. As our infrastructure
needs evolve, we might need to tweak the generation algorithm again.

If you've been trying to divine meaning from status IDs aside from their
role as a primary key, you won't be able to anymore. Likewise for usage of
IDs in mathematical operations -- for instance, subtracting two status IDs
to determine the number of tweets in between will no longer be possible.

For the majority of applications we think this scheme switch will be a
non-event. Before implementing these changes, we'd like to know if your
applications currently depend on the sequential nature of IDs. Do you depend
on the density of the tweet sequence being constant?  Are you trying to
analyze the IDs as anything other than opaque, ordered identifiers? Aside
for guaranteed sequential tweet ID ordering, what APIs can we provide you to
accomplish your goals?

[twitter-dev] Attending Chirp? Let's get to know each other better, Before the Conference!

[Arnaud Meunier]

Dear Developers,

I'm sure we’re a lot - in this group - to have our ticket for Chirp,
and I wanted to launch a thread so we could know each other a little
better, before the conference starts.

The conference looks very promising on a technical side: we’re going
to learn from the expert, practice during the hack day... Now, I don't
know for you, but as great as it looks like, another reason that
pushed me to do this 6,000 miles trip (coming from Paris), is actually
to meet YOU guys!

So I would love to learn more about "my fellow Chirp attendees" the
official website is mentioning! Where are you coming from? Which
projects are you working on? What are you interested in (concerning
the conference and/or in general)?

We’re going to be a lot there (something like 800 people if I remember
well), but for a short time and in a very busy schedule. That’s why I
thought it would be interesting to start the conversation,
presentation and “who’s who” game before.

On my side, I’m a 26 years old French Engineer and I created my own
company to focus on IT consulting and (mainly on) Twitoaster (http://
twitoaster.com). It will be my first time in San Francisco, and I’d
love to meet other developers to chat around Twitter projects, talk
about our experiences, exchange ideas... I’ll arrive the 13th (will do
my best to be at pre-chirp conf) and I’ll stay at the Orchard Hotel.
Concerning the conference, I’m particularly curious about the
Monetization part; and the Media Ecosystem development (but this part
recently disappeared from the schedule). I’m also wondering how I’ll
manage to stay awake for 48h+ :)

Hi Jonathan,

Great thing you're organizing there! I still don't know how long I'll
be able to stay in SF after Chirp (waiting an answer for one of my
client's project) but we will meet each other for sure starting from
the 13th!

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter buying Tweetie

[Arnaud Meunier]

We shouldn’t “fill holes” anymore, Wilson said. The thing is Twitter
has deliberately kept a lot of holes opened, encouraging us to fill
them (and lots of applications have been doing it with innovation, by
the way).

Now we’re supposed to dig, create new holes, and fill them. Okay!
There are a lot of ideas to have around Twitter, lots of new holes to
dig.

But the question is still the same: "What will be left up to the
ecosystem and what will be created on the platform?"

I think I'm not the only one here to fear that Twitter itself begins
to compete with the applications I created (or I plan to create). Yes,
it's fun to dig holes and to fill them. But it also takes time and
money, and it's like the game was going to be much more risky than it
used to be.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Twitter buying Tweetie

[Arnaud Meunier]

+1 for the metaphors :)

We all know what Twitter would like to see. No surprise here, nothing
extraordinary, just advices we already were aware of. I mean... Who
intended to code another photo sharing service or another desktop
client before these annoucements? I guess nobody.

Anybody who has been seriously thinking about starting a project
around Twitter in the last year already knew he'd have to make
something innovative enough to drag attention, customers, whatever
he's looking for...

In a word, there's nothing new with these annoucements and this
acquisation. The only thing "new" is simply the fact that it's now
"officially said". Quite annoying for all the "old school
apps" (thinking to existing clients, analytics services, media sharing
tools...) Even for some of the new one, by the way, as a part of the
applications who's going to emerge will probably wonder "what if
Twitter decides to make a product of my concept?"

Inherent risk of a business based (even partly) on an existing
platform? Yes!

And the thing is I'm very curious to see how Twitter is going to deal
with this at Chirp, and what (really new, this time) they're going to
announce. For example, a smart monetization policy (around advertising
or sponsored tweets) linked to the API could be an answer for most of
the "old school apps".

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Some thoughts leading up to Chirp

[Arnaud Meunier]

Thanks for this clarification, Ryan.

I think an important part of the tension is coming from the fact you really
took your time to (as you say) "dig a little bit", and realize the right
move was to buy Tweetie. I mean, it’s almost like if it was in Twitter core
to... have multiple holes, and multiple Apps to fill these holes. Another
"solution" to the Apple Store confusion problem could have been a list of
recommended Twitter clients, for example.

With these recent moves and announcements you’re starting to realize (for
the first time) lots of developer’s fear: "What if Twitter makes that same
feature I’m working on?"

This situation happened on a lot of other platforms before, and I guess we
all knew it was going to happen here, soon or later. The only questions were
When and Who. One of the question is still opened. I hope we’ll find answers
@chirp :)

[twitter-dev] @Anywhere and Usernames (15+ chars) question

[Arnaud Meunier]

Enjoying a free Saturday afternoon, I was playing with @Anywhere and I
noticed something quite strange related to Twitter Usernames. The
@Anywhere documentation says "A Twitter screen name is an '@' symbol
followed by 1 to 20 alphanumeric characters, including underscores"

The problem is… I thought a Twitter Username could not exceed 15
characters? Try to create / change your username to something longer
than 15 chars: you can’t. But @Anywhere JS is still trying to add
Hovercards to these strings (@15+ chars) that cannot match any Twitter
User.

Is it a bug? A confusion with “Real Names”? A necessity because of a
previous policy (can’t remember if you could create 15+ chars
Usernames in the past)? Or do you plan to allow usernames longer than
15 chars in a near future?

Was just wondering :)

The bug is only occuring in JSON format. Try this :

https://twitter.com/statuses/show/2490912395.json

I made tests with both Authenticated (HTTP Basic & OAuth) and
UnAuthenticated requests. It still doesn't work.

[twitter-dev] Re: OAuth failing to validate signature

[Arnaud Meunier]

Same problem here, all my Oauth requests are receiving a "Could not
authenticate you." answer with a 401. Don't understand why, I didn't
change anything, and this just started to happen a few minutes ago.
The application type is Browser, with the "Twitter for login" option.

Quite a big problem on my side, as I can't synchronize accounts
anymore. Had to stop the service.
Anyone knowing what's going on?

Arnaud.

[Arnaud Meunier]

The problem is known, cf this thread, for example:
http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/39306c36ecc9cdb8
Matt has also updated the twitterapi account to let us know he was
working on it.

On my side, things are back to normal since Matt announcement.

On the previous bug, the error message attached in the body was "Could
not authenticate you." Are you receiving the same error message?

[twitter-dev] Re: Has something with OAuth changed?

[Arnaud Meunier]

"Unauthorized" probably referes to the "official" description of the
HTTP 401 Code. I was wondering what was the Twitter error message you
received (if any) in the body of your response. Could be something
like "Invalid / used nonce" or "Invalid / expired token"...

I always heard IP whitelisting was taking precedence to account rate
limits.
What you're describing sounds like the normal behaviour to me.

[twitter-dev] Re: API & Curl: Status update result: http_code =>0!

[Arnaud Meunier]

With CURLOPT_VERBOSE option set to 1, you should see the whole http
communication. It would help to understand what's going on.You're probably
not outputing errors (don't see any http trace) so try to set the
CURLOPT_STDERR option to some file PHP can write to, and send us its content
(remind to hide the auth part).

[twitter-dev] Re: Intermittent network failures?

[Arnaud Meunier]

I'm monitoring the Twitter API response time and errors rate (using MRTG,
with a couple of different methods). If some of you are interested, I can
share these charts on a public page. I guess it could help you guys to
figure out why your apps are sometimes working weirdly. Could also help you
to determine at what time the Twitter API is the less loaded (if you can
delay your requests).

[twitter-dev] Unexpected 401 "Could not authenticate you" on some oAuth POST requests

[Arnaud Meunier]

Since yesterday, my application’s main account (@twitoaster) received
two abnormal 401 errors (both during a POST Request). There are
strictly no reasons for such errors to be received (the same requests
succeeded a few minutes later) and I was wondering if someone else had
recently experienced oAuth problems?

Receiving a 401 (when I should not) produces dramatic impact on my
application. I thought this error was reserved to authentication
issues? Did anything change?

Here are my logs (I can provide you an HTTP trace for the next coming)

- 2009-09-26 01:24:12 GMT
--- HTTP POST: http://twitter.com/friendships/create.json
--- Params: user_id=838301 (+oAuth stuffs, same as usual, working for
other requests)
401 “Could not authenticate you”

- 2009-09-26 06:04:15 GMT
--- HTTP POST: /direct_messages/new.json
--- Params: user_id=14621484 / text=x (+oAuth stuffs, same as
usual, working for other requests)

[twitter-dev] Conversation methods - Twitoaster API

[Arnaud Meunier]

Guess it might interest some of you; I just made public the Twitoaster
API ( http://twitoaster.com/api/ ).
Using the same model as the Twitter one, it brings the following
methods:

- conversation/show: Returns the whole conversation (max 200 tweets)
containing the requested tweet.

- conversation/search: Conversational search engine. Returns the 20
most recent (or revelant) conversations that match the specified
query.

- conversation/user: Returns the 20 most recent conversations started
by the requested user.

- user/show: Returns the extended information of the requested user
(statistics, charts…).

- user/update: Updates the Twitter user's status (with extended tweet
support).

For the time being, Twitoaster API database is limited to Twitoaster’s
users. This will probably change if more and more applications use it.

All the best,
Arnaud.

[twitter-dev] Re: OAuth wed & desktop feedback

[Arnaud Meunier]

This has already been told, but a better support for mobiles and poor/
old rendering browsers is a must. Something as simple as using the
useragent to display a nice, working and adapted login page would be a
great start.

Another point would be reliability. Is there a way that you "priorize"
oAuth requests in order to prevent any 5xx errors, for example?

[twitter-dev] oAuth issue with one specific account

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hi,

One of my members cannot connect with a specific account, where other
accounts work. The account is not suspended. Every login try ends with
a "OK, you've denied *Twitoaster* access to interact with your
account!".

Account name is "@msbookish". Anyone would have experienced that kind
of problem? Is there some kind of bug with this specific account?

All the best,
Arnaud.

[twitter-dev] Re: oAuth issue with one specific account

[Arnaud Meunier]

The user was authenticating with firefox and this plugin:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/750
Desactivating the plugin solved the problem.

Hoping that will be useful, if someone already experienced a similar
case,
Arnaud.

Re: [twitter-dev] Tweet button over HTTPS

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Felipe,

If you checked the "Always use HTTPS" box in your Account settings, the
"Share this on Twitter" popup (that appears when you actually click the
button) will be served over SSL.

However, the button itself doesn't work over SSL yet (cf:
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/tweet_button_faq#https). We're working on it.

Re: [twitter-dev] Search API: Secure profile image URLs

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Jacob,

Valid SSL certificates are installed on si[0-5].twimg.com subdomains. On
your SSL served pages, you could simply replace "http://a"; with
"https://si";. Example
for the @twitter account:

- HTTP: http://a3.twimg.com/profile_images/1124040897/at-twitter_normal.png
- HTTPS:

Re: [twitter-dev] Bad Word Filter

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Alex,

I don't know in which context you plan to use this search widget, but trying
to make your search results "kid-friendly" with simple bad-words filtering
doesn't look very realistic. What about a manually curated list of tweets?
Did you have a chance to take a look on the Faves widget, for example?

Now if you want to use search, you can host & modify the widget.js file. But
if you just need to hide the "join the conversation" link, a simple CSS
rule will do the trick: .twtr-join-conv { display:none !important; }
Obviously, that CSS rule might become useless if the widget markup changes
in the future.

Re: [twitter-dev] Missing images on Trademark Guidelines; T logo resource

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Abby,

You won't be able to find the "t" logo because we replaced it with the
"bird" logo. As stated in the page you linked to (Guidelines for use of the
Twitter trademark - http://support.twitter.com/entries/77641) you
should use the most recent version of our logos (which is a bird if you're
looking for a small icon).

Simply set the data-count property to "none". For more information, read the

Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter Basics and Errors

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Chris,

1) Is the IP you're using shared? For example, what was the value of
"X-RateLimit-Remaining" _before_ starting the test? If you're concerned with
Rate Limiting, you should really consider authenticating your calls.

2) Looks like you're not using your library correctly for search. Try:
$search = $twitterObj->get_search(array('q' => 'whatever'));

Re: [twitter-dev] getting historical data for more than 150 / 300 users

[Arnaud Meunier]

As Tatham said, each access token gives you up to 350 GET Request per hours.
Make some requests (signing them with different access tokens) and look at
the "X-RateLimit-Remaining" header.

Re: [twitter-dev] convert large number of usernames to userids

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Riley,

You should use "users/lookup", with the "screen_name" parameter (up to 100
are allowed in a single request). Not sure to get what you mean by "the
OAuth of the users I am looking up"? The only thing you need is to sign your
request.

Re: [twitter-dev] Enforced profile picture dimensions/sizes

[Arnaud Meunier]

This particular problem only concerns a couple of users who didn't re-upload
their profile image since we had this bug in 2009. Unfortunately, a fix is
unlikely to come.

In most of the cases, image size is correct. If it's just about displaying
these images in a browser, you can set the image width/height attributes
and/or use CSS (that's what we do on twitter.com).

Now if you use these images differently and if their size is important for
your app, you should add a check/validation step in your process, just like
you should sanitize anything you consume to be sure an unexpected value
won't break your app.

Re: [twitter-dev] X-Ratelimit-Reset, Retry-After, and what the actual values mean

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Tom,

You probably want to pay the most attention to the "X-RateLimit-Remaining"
header, which is the number of requests you can make before being
rate-limited. It's a good practice to monitor this value and throttle your
requests if necessary.

The X-RateLimit-Reset timestamp indicates when you'll recover the maximum
number of Hits (X-RateLimit-Limit) for the class (X-RateLimit-Class) your
request falls into.

Re: [twitter-dev] data-related question

Hey Steve,

No suggestion will be made if the user tweeting is already following you.
Cf http://dev.twitter.com/pages/tweet_button#related

By the way, your account is already going to be shown, thanks to the
"data-via" parmeter. There's no need to use "data-related" in your case.

Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter search api rate limit

[Arnaud Meunier]

Search API rate limiting is not handled like other endpoints of the REST
API. As explained on http://dev.twitter.com/pages/rate-limiting#search, the
Search Rate Limit isn't made public to discourage unnecessary search usage.

Concerning the User-Agent, use something like "Your App Name - Version" (it
should be unique). Including an HTTP Referer (i.e. "about page" of your app)
is also a good practice :)

Re: [twitter-dev] Tweet Button in Arabic Language

Hey Rami,

The tweet button doesn't support Arabic language (cf.
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/tweet_button_faq#languages). Now you can still
build your own tweet button in order to replace "Tweet" by its translation
in Arabic (cf. http://dev.twitter.com/pages/tweet_button#build-your-own),
but the "Share a link on Twitter" pop-up will stay in English (or any other
supported language you'd choose).

Re: [twitter-dev] List API method limits?

There are no specific limits for /1/:user/lists/:id/statuses

Which other API Calls are working? What is your "X-RateLimit-Class" header
value in both cases (List vs Other API Calls that work)? Your list statuses
requests are probably counting against different limits (Authenticated =
350/H vs Anonymous = 150/H/IP).

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Tweet Button vs ?Status=

[Arnaud Meunier]

As Tom said, you should use web intents if you're looking for a simple
"tweet link". It's really easy to implement, it doesn't require javascript,
and it's mobile friendly. Oh, and you can also use the "related" and "via"
parameters (if you like Tweet Button's suggested account system).

More info on http://dev.twitter.com/pages/intents

Re: [twitter-dev] weird things with statuses/user_timeline

[Arnaud Meunier]

My guess is you probably just received an HTTP 502 (FailWhale) at some
point, this breaking your loop. What was the last HTTP response you received
(including headers)? If it's a 502 error, just handle it in your loop (i.e.
retrying after 10 seconds), and eventually reduce the count if that happens
too frequently.

Re: [twitter-dev] Confused about rate limits

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Alin,

What do you mean by "*I authenticated, verified the credentials and **
queried*"? In this context (API call) authenticating means signing your
request using OAuth. Signing-in with your account on twitter.com is a
completely different thing and has no effect on your API requests.

Hey Alin,

The sentence you used confused me, sorry. Now I guess you were talking about
the "account/verify_credentials" endpoint :)

Question for you: what is your X-RateLimit-Limit header value (for both
account/verify_credentials and other endpoints you're using that require
authentication)?

Hey Daniel,

You can make up to 350 authenticated GET requests, per token (user), per

So yes, the example you describe is supported :)

Re: [twitter-dev] Bad Request (400) on a shared hosting platform

[Arnaud Meunier]

That's the problem with shared hosting IP addresses. I encourage you to sign
all your requests using Oauth (http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth) even if
they don't require authentication. If you're not familiar with OAuth, take a
look on these .NET Twitter libraries:
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/libraries#dotnet

Signing your requests will give you 350 calls / token / hour (instead of the
150 calls / hour you're actually sharing with all the other folks using your
IP).

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Repeated connection request

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Konstantin,

OAuth is just an authorization/authentication mechanism. It's not handling
user sessions. You'll have to implement it on your side.

Now depending on what you want to do, you might be interested by web intents
as they'll handle sessions mechanism for you (automatically detecting if the
user is logged in to twitter.com and asking for login when necessary). Cf
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/intents

Re: [twitter-dev] Can I fetch tweets posted by individual Apps within same twitter account?

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Vijay,

If you retrieve your account's tweets through the API, you'll see each
status object has a "source" attribute. If you already coded something to
fetch / display your tweets through the /1/statuses/user_timeline endpoint,
you'll just have to filter the tweets by checking this "source" attribute.

You can also use our Search API, combining the "from" and "source"
operators. Note you'll only get recent tweets this way. If you're looking
for a widget, try our Twitter Search widget (
http://twitter.com/about/resources/widgets/widget_search). If you want to
link to a twitter.com webpage, make your request on
http://twitter.com/search-home

Finally, you can obviously create two different twitter accounts :)

Re: [twitter-dev] Single Authentication for an App

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Ton,

There was a similar discussion on this ML a few days ago:
http://bit.ly/icFfcC

We do not expire access_token (unless a user explicitly rejects you app) so
you don't have to go through the whole OAuth dance once someone approved
your app. Store your user's access_token and implement a session handling
system.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Single Authentication for an App

[Arnaud Meunier]

The last step of the OAuth dance (exchanging request_token for access_token)
will give you an oauth_token and oauth_token_secret. You'll just have to
sign your requests with those. Cf this page for more information:
http://dev.twitter.com/auth#auth-request

If you're not familiar with the concept of signing your requests with OAuth,
you should take a look on one of these libraries:
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/libraries

Finally, the X-FeatureRateLimit-Reset header has nothing to do with your
access_token validity. Cf Rate Limiting documentation:
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/rate-limiting

Re: [twitter-dev] 3 questions (include_entities=false; states; most recent status)

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Jovan,

1) "include_entities" controls Tweet Entities output (in the status object).
For some User accounts, we're also testing & outputting User Entities (for
the description attribute). The "include_entities" parameter doesn't affect
the output of these User Entities.

2) The Status object included in users/show is the user's last tweet. Now if
you really need to get a user's last tweet (caching issues can happen) use
the "statuses/user_timeline" method.

3) We're working on this one, thanks for reporting.

Re: [twitter-dev] Streaming API statuses/fileter method, "follow" parameter

[Arnaud Meunier]

With the "follow" parameter, you should only get "real" replies & retweets.
If you need to track all mentions, try the "track" parameter (i.e.
track=@user)

Re: [twitter-dev] Is the verifier pin required in OOB?

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Ali,

Out of band / PIN code authentication is just one of the OAuth
authentication flows we are supporting. Cf
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth_overview

If your app can handle the full OAuth process, stick to it and forget about
OOB :)

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: What does tweet id means?

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Leo,

We're indeed using Snowflake (a Tweet ID generation service we developed).
Tweets IDs are no longer sequential (but k-sorted with k <= 1 second), and
there is no way to count the total number of tweet sent every day.

More info about Snowflake on our Engineering Blog:
http://engineering.twitter.com/2010/06/announcing-snowflake.html

Re: [twitter-dev] List Membership Add/Delete and 403 Error

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Shannon,

Only the list owner can add/remove members to it. If the "other account"
you're authenticating with is trying to add members to a list he doesn't
own, you'll receive a 403. Take a look to your HTTP body, the error message
is probably "You aren't allowed to add members to this list".

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: /1/lists/show doesn't work when given a list slug

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey there!

There are two ways to identify a list with the new endpoints:

1) With the "list_id" parameter. For example:
- http://api.twitter.com/1/lists/show.json?list_id=574

2) With the combination of "slug" AND ("owner_id" OR "owner_screen_name")
parameters. For example:
- http://api.twitter.com/1/lists/show.json?slug=team&owner_id=783214
-
http://api.twitter.com/1/lists/show.json?slug=team&owner_screen_name=twitter

Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter4j / showStatus method

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Luc,

You're not getting rate limited. Let's take a closer look on these two
errors:

1) First error: *Sorry, you are not authorized to see this status*
That means the tweet you're trying to get is "protected". Only people
approved by its author (following him) can read / retrieve it.

2) Second error: *since_id too recent, poll less frequently*
Looks like the since_id tweet you provided hasn't been indexed yet. Would be
interesting to know the value you used and if you can reproduce this error
(using the same since_id value).

On an unrelated note, what kind of search requests are you doing? Have you
considered the statuses/filter method of the Streaming API? That could be a
much more efficient way for you :)

- More info on:
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_methods#statuses-filter
- Twitter4j doc:
http://twitter4j.org/en/javadoc/twitter4j/TwitterStream.html#filter(twitter4j.FilterQuery)

Re: [twitter-dev] Geolocation and Twitter API

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Padma,

This "location" attribute is specific to geo searches (search API requests
with "geocode" parameter), and reflects the way tweets are matched:
- It is taking the "Geo" attribute if the tweet is geotagged.
- Otherwise, it fallbacks to the tweet author's location (as defined in its
profile).

By the way: If you're looking for precision, you should take a look on the
Streaming API (statuses/filter method with the "locations" parameter). Only
tweets created using the Geotagging API will be matched this way
(no fall-backing to Twitter profile). More info on
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_methods#locations

Re: [twitter-dev] API requests redirect my server to /suspended

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Thomas,

"/statuses" is not a valid API endpoint, and our routing system assumes
you're trying to reach the "statuses" account, which is suspended (cf
http://twitter.com/statuses).

Take a look on our timeline resources on http://dev.twitter.com/doc and use
one of these endpoints (for example "/1/statuses/public_timeline.json")
instead.

If you're trying to render the button after the DOM has loaded, the easiest

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Twitter4j / showStatus method

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Luc,

1) You should not, indeed. But this tweet was probably posted before its
Author turned protected. In that case, it can take some time to reflect on
search results.

2) That unfortunately doesn't help me to reproduce your issue. What is the
exact request you've been making? When? Full HTTP request/response would
help. Concerning tweet IDs, they are not sequential but they are always
increasing (on a 1 second interval). So you could use the since_id parameter
with the last tweet ID you received.

3) If for some reason you lost connection with the Streaming API, you could
still backfill with the same process you're using today :)

Hey Charl,

The doc is outdated, this endpoint indeed requires authentication. Thanks

Re: [twitter-dev] Can I specify my own URL for the Tweet button?

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey David,

The Tweet Button will share your URL as a t.co link that redirects to the
URL you provide (in your case: t.co --> bit.ly --> final destination). If
you're using the count box, think also to set the "counturl" parameter to
the final destination. Cf exemple here:
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/tweet_button#using-shorturl

[twitter-dev] New API Console & Documentation updates on dev.twitter.com

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Developers!

You might have noticed that we started updating our developer portal
yesterday, starting with the replacement of the old Twurl console with
Apigee's. If you've never tried Apigee's test console, you should take a
look at it! It's a great tool to test and debug your API calls, and we hope
you'll like it as much as we do: http://dev.twitter.com/console

On the documentation side, we updated our Twitter libraries page, cleaning
and merging our old OAuth + Twitter sections. We know lots of you access our
resources through open-sourced libraries, so let us know if you think we're
missing a good one: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/libraries

We've also been working on our API resources documentation (all of them are
listed in the right sidebar on http://dev.twitter.com/doc):
- Deprecated resources are now grouped in a new "Deprecated resources"
category (for example http://dev.twitter.com/doc/post/:user/lists). On their
doc pages we've recommended a new or replacement method you should use
instead.
 - New lists resources have been documented (8 List, 5 ListMembers and 4
ListSubscribers resources)
- Redundant streaming resources have been removed and redirected (all
streaming API methods can be found on
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_methods).
- Lots of other API resources have been updated to reflect the way they're
actually working today.

We know accurate documentation is important for you guys, so please let us
know if you think some of our API resources documentation still need some
love. We'd love your feedback :)

Arnaud / @rno

Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter user online

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Rodrigo,

If you're trying to monitor the "last activity" of a couple of Users, you
could:
- Use the REST or Streaming API, and monitor the last time they tweeted.
- Use Site Streams (currently in beta), and monitor the events they
initiated.

Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter - ATOM - tag

Hey Pavithra,

Assuming you're using PHP SimpleXML, you could get the "location" element
from the "google" Namespace with something like:

$namespaces = $result->getNameSpaces(true);
$google = $result->children($namespaces['google']);
echo $google->location;

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: At Reply Spam

Dewald,

These rules apply to third party apps. @twittersuggests is not a third
party app, but an experimental feature, developed and owned by
Twitter.

Now I can also understand this "Do as I Say, not as I Do" situation
can be irritating. But I guess the best thing to do at this point is
probably to share your thoughts on the experiment through his
dedicated feedback form:

Hey there,

Could you share the full HTTP Response you're receiving, please? By the way,
did you try to change the text (status parameter)? You could be receiving a
403 because you are trying to send the same status as the last user's one.

Re: [twitter-dev] Lists randomly disappearing and reappearing (from API and website)

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Raul,

Could you please give us more details around those two issues (including
Full HTTP Request and Response), and ideally file a new bug on
https://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list (if you can reproduce the
issue)?

Thanks!

Re: [twitter-dev] Adding more users to the twitter stream listener

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Faustino,

Yes, you can use an auxiliary connection (reducing your loss window using a
delta scheme, as explained in the doc) to manage query velocity. But that
really makes sense in a large predicates (higher access level) + frequent
updates context.

Re: [twitter-dev] HTTP Response Codes -403

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Balaji,

Which resource were you trying to connect to? As explained in the doc, the
default access level grants you access to statuses/filter (
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_methods/#statuses-filter) and
statuses/sample (
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_methods/#statuses-sample). Note
that the "count" parameter is not supported either on default access level.

Re: [twitter-dev] Maximum length of User ID

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Yama,

- screen_name: I would go for 20 Chars, as it has been the limit for some
time, before we switched to 15 Chars. Some accounts might still have a
screen_name > 15 Chars.
- User ID: I would take the safest option and treat them as Status ID (20
Chars or 64 bits INT). So if we decided in the future to generate User IDs
with SnowFlake, you'd be prepared.

Hope that helps!

Re: [twitter-dev] Basic Streaming API limits question

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Thiago,

Technically, the limit is account based (each account may create only one
standing connection to the Streaming API). Why would you like to start
multiple connections from the same IP? What is your use case? Remember it is
not allowed to get around limits in statuses/filter (or statuses/track). You
should contact us if you need a higher access level :)

Re: [twitter-dev] Basic Streaming API limits question

Yes this will be a problem, as you'd be circumventing the limit in place
(400 track keywords for the default access level). Please do not do this,
and contact us on a...@twitter.com with as much details as possible on your
use case and your implementation :)

Re: [twitter-dev] Auto Populating Tweets Broken?

Hey Yahel,

Meet Web Intents: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/intents (take a look on the

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: New Status Using A Query String

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Dusty,

The "status" parameter option has not been removed. It's a bug that has been
filed, but I unfortunately don't have an ETA on a fix. This parameter is
part of the twitter.com website, which is constantly changing. On the API
side, we support Web Intents. That's why I recommended its use :)

Hope that helps,

Re: [twitter-dev] how to get the tweet which has hightest retweet count

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey Journey,

There is no dedicated API method to retrieve the most retweeted tweet
in a given time window. However, every status object comes with a
"retweet_count" attribute that you can for example use to curate the
most retweeted tweets of a timeline, a list...

Hope that helps!

Hey Anand,

I'm not sure to understand what you're exactly doing? If you're using the
API to update a user's status behind a proxy, did you specify in the code /
lib you're using the HTTP proxy to tunnel requests through? Are you sure
it's not a DNS issue?

Try to provide us more details, please. Otherwise, it will be hard for the

Hey Max,

That looks pretty extreme! What's your use case? Why would you need to make
that much queries? Are you going to use the Search API or the website? If
you're using the API, Did you consider using the Streaming API
"statuses/filter" method with the "track" parameter?

Re: [twitter-dev] logout page redirecting (http://api.twitter.com/logout) to other page

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey there,

You cannot control Twitter website sessions (i.e. login / logout actions).
OAuth is just an authorization / authentication mechanism to execute API
requests from your app on behalf of a User. You have to handle that "logout"
feature on your app (i.e. allowing the User to authorize or switch to
another Twitter account)

Hope that helps!
