[twitter-dev] Re: Parking

[Bess]

The best & closest Parking near Twitter headquarter is ProPark. It's
on the same side of street on the next block within 2-3 min walk.

795 Folsom Street ProPark
Sat Full Day $10 Cash Close at 11pm
Sun Full Day $8 Cash Close at 6pm

Many parking options along 3rd street between Folsom & Harrison. On
weekend many are charging $10 as low as $8 full day.

If you go with popular Parking option near Moscone it would cost you
$32 for 12-24 hrs.

[twitter-dev] Re: Thoughts on annotations

[Bess]

About Parking. Closest one near Twitter is Museum Parc Garage. It
closes at 11pm on Sat and 6pm on Sun.

There are other overnight parking but they charge $25-$32 for 12-24
hrs. Many parking options on 3rd Street between Harrison & Folsom Full
Day $8-10 on weekend. Some of them are outdoor so I don't think there
is issue on building being closed at night.

I am very surprise the parking situation near Twitter is better than
expected. Next time I would map other parking options so we can share
the info better on Tweet feed.

Museum Parc Garage
300 3rd St
(between Folsom St & Saint Francis Pl)
San Francisco, CA 94107
Neighborhood: SOMA
(415) 284-9553
www.museumparcgarage.com

Overnight Hotel Parking: $25.00 per night with In & Out Priveleges
Hours:
Mon-Fri 6 a.m. - 11 p.m.
Sat 8 a.m. - 11 p.m.

[twitter-dev] Re: How long does it take to get approved with xAuth?

[Bess]

Exactly how long does it take to apply and get approved on xAuth?

If I apply xAuth today, am I standing on a queue that is 1,000 long?

I am preparing a Twitter Developer Book. If it takes a few weeks and
few months, I would have to change plan not to count on xAuth. Would
anyone give any feedback?

I also like to confirm that I have tested Objective-C OAuth library on
iPhone. OAuth does take you outside the app to Safari for Twitter
authentication page. I test the work flow at Twitter Annotation
Hackfest this weekend. The Twitter authentication page is not
optimized for iPhone. It is difficult for users to find the section
where user can enter username and password. IMHO I would like to see
at least that page is styled and sized properly for mobile browser
webkit so it looks like part of native app with less word in larger
font size and bigger buttons.

The only way you can customize and style Twitter username/pwd page
would be using xAuth.

Thanks

[twitter-dev] Re: Suggested method for getting GEO results

[Bess]

I am building a RSS native mobile app that pull Twitter feeds using
Search API. I am experiencing similar behavior. Sometimes it has fewer
results.

Could you advise me? If I would have to use Twitter to report real-
time events such as Earthquake alerts? for Medical Emergency alerts?
Should I use Search API for reliable real time results? Or consider
Stream API?

Other questions relating to using Geo and Places.

- What is the best way to filter results to just cover tweets from US?
Do I use a central geo point in US like mid west and expand the
radius?
- Would Near: & Within: filter deliver the same results as Geo filter?
example earthquake near:US within:500mi? Would near: filter work on
country level?
- How could I find acceptable country name that use in near: filter?
example Africa, Haiti?
- What is the radius limit on Geo & Near? in terms of mi or km?
- Do you recommend any utility or tools that I can export public
tweets into data store? for reporting purposes

Note: I try to expand geo radius to 800 miles but couldn't get much
results.

[twitter-dev] lang= Support in Search API

[Bess]

I'd like to confirm the list of language support on Search API b/c I
couldn't find any documentation in this Google group and http://dev.twitter.com.

>From my online search developers say it supports only 3 languages:
English = en
Japanese = ja
Spanish = es

>From documentation, it refers to wikipedia on ISO 63901 code. However,
I try many lang parameters with many of them not working or returning
much results.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-1

These are listed but not supported:

*   French is represented by fr
*   German is represented by de
*   Portuguese is represented by pt
*   Haiti is represented by ht or hat


lang: Optional: Restricts tweets to the given language, given by
an ISO 639-1 code.

http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?lang=en&q=devo
http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=東京大地震&locale=ja

What are the official lang supported? How can we get the latest list?

[twitter-dev] Re: Saerch API and Twitter "Live Search Results" disparity

This is related to cache. Search API results are from cache to improve
performance? Search API is not getting the same results as Stream API?

[twitter-dev] Re: Saerch API and Twitter "Live Search Results" disparity

[Bess]

What is considered popular results (high-velocity)? high-velocity?

Any official documentation that define the differences between Search
& Stream API? in terms of result quality, data size, data rate, etc

If I would have to capture every single Tweet like someone asking for
medical emergency, should I use Stream API? You can't just ignore a
single emergency tweet b/c it is not popular.

So far I only learn of one Twitter-based app is using OAuth - Twitter

I personally like to learn the best practice on OAuth and best OAuth

http://dev.twitter.com/pages/oauth_single_token

How do I use this single token hardcode method in mobile? iPhone
objective-c OAuth lib, Android java OAuth lib?

Thanks
Bess

[twitter-dev] Re: OAuth page showing "opening and ending tag mismatch"

[Bess]

I don't see that error on mobile Twitter page but I am testing it in
US.

Do you think it is related to callingURL IP Address? Would Twitter
process it differently for non-US IP Address on callingURL?

[twitter-dev] Re: Sending 1600 DMs?

[Bess]

There is no way to lift this DM daily limit?

If I build an emergency system to report accidents then official
twitter for police or Red Cross won't be able to receive more than 250
DM per day.

If there is a major accidents that involve more than 250 injuries
assuming each DM per injury report, Twitter will send out "Whale"
error after exceeding that limit?

[twitter-dev] Re: Better support for Developers

[Bess]

Yes I agree. What Twitter has already published is fairly good.
However the areas that Twitter won't mention or cover in the
documentation is the painful gray area. There are no sufficient of doc
to find out how to do certain ways especially on OAuth.

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter OAuth Example?

[Bess]

Yes it is

Depending on which 3rd party library.

Be ware of the publishing date of those info b/c there has been a lot
of changes.

I can confirmed that I am able to
1) Oauth in web app PHP
2) Oauth in Samsung bada C++
3) Oauth in Android SDK 2.1 Java

I am confirming that it can be done b/c I get these OAuth working this
month using the latest version of Oauth libraries. Unfortunately I
wasn't able to show them in the last Twitter hackathon b/c I haven't
started working on them at the time.

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter OAuth Example?

[Bess]

Exactly how many developers out there are having troubles with OAuth?
I don't hear too many complaints in developer events except many
developers are still having UXP issues on OAuth in mobile native app.
There is no good solution using OAuth and Callback Out-of-band.

I am able to use Twitter4J Oauth in Android SDK 2.1. Can you do the
same on BB?

Does BB has the same JAVA environment similar to Android? I assume
J2SE is very different than Android Java?

[twitter-dev] Re: OAuth singing on BlackBerry

You need Twitter to approve before you can use xAuth. xAuth is
different than OAuth.

Can I ask which xAuth library did you use on BB? Is that Java? not
J2ME

[twitter-dev] Re: BlackBerry, XAuth and twitterapime

[Bess]

If Twitter4J do not run on BB, which OAuth or xAuth lib do you use in
BB?

There is no other Java option in BB? You have to use J2ME in BB?

What about webos BB has announced?

Can I port my Java code from Android straight to BB? How much code re
factoring or rewrite I have to do to move from Android to BB?

[twitter-dev] Re: BlackBerry, XAuth and twitterapime

[Bess]

It seems like everyone like having trouble moving from basic to Oauth
in mobile.

TwitterAPIME works on BB via J2ME Twitter lib from Kenai. This library
also supports Android. But this lib author develop this lib in his
spare time so he didn't include every Twitter API. It can only do a
few things.

http://kenai.com/projects/twitterapime/pages/Home

Any BB developer can tell me which JS lib BB would support on their
Javascript API?

[twitter-dev] Re: Open Source Android/Twitter Application

[Bess]

I have written a book chapter on how to integrate Twitter4J & OAuth
Java lib with code example in Android last month. It has the bare
minimal but the Twitter Java lib would support all Twitter APIs.

I am not sure I could release the chapter prior before the book. If
the book dies then I may be free to publish it.

I am not quite sure if Twitter has official Android app that Twitter
is going to open source the code.

[twitter-dev] Re: Return Public Timeline Tweets based on Geo Location

[Bess]

You can use Twitter Search API to filter or limit the GEO location.

within range from 1 to 1000 in units of mi or km

near:"San Francisco" within:1000mi

Twitter search string
http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?geocode=37.775196,-122.419204,1000.0mi&q=+near:%22San+Francisco%22+within:1000mi

You can see it use geocode latitude and longitude, use near filter for
places and use within filter as diameter range.

You can use string to construct your search query to adjust your
search results. I have used this several times in a few mobile apps.
It works well.

You are welcome. Glad it works for you.

Anyone can offer example code in using Twitter Places? narrow down

401 Unauthorized: Authentication credentials were missing or
incorrect.

Another debugging is to print out error type error message from iPhone
console

[twitter-dev] Re: Convert RSS entries to tweets

[Bess]

I thought you could use 3rd party tool to support RSS>Tweet
conversion. Can you do such thing using Twitter API?

[twitter-dev] Re: help me plz quiry speed and geocode

[Bess]

Any standard Twitter API is rate-limited except Streaming API
(Firehost). However Streaming API must be approved by Twitter
manually.

If radius cap is 100 miles, it should cover most metropolitan area
size. In some areas you may not get enough tweets for 200 miles
diameter to show sufficient Tweet results in real time or search
terms.

[twitter-dev] Re: oAuth reporting a status update error when none exists

[Bess]

I am afraid Twitter has added this error - don't allow any duplicate
tweet at least from Twitter API. I have to add random text to bypass
this 403 error.

[twitter-dev] Re: xAuth Request gives Error from samsung tv maple browser

[Bess]

I am interested in solving this too.

Let's say Samsung TV is same as desk top. You should be able to use
xAuth.

You need to create a new Twitter app to get Consumer key and Consumer
secret. Make sure you select client method and read/write.
