Hi,

Following API is returning complete HTML error page. Is it because of some
maintenance activity? it was working fine previously.

since_id on favorites

[ono_matope]

Hi, Twitter Team.

I'm driving my service favotter but it consumes a mount of favorites
API requests.
So I would like to be nice to the network and the servers by using
'since_id' parameter.

I tried add since_id parameter on favorites API and it appears to be
active 'since_id' parameter on favorites/user.json API.

But the behavior looks so tricky for me, and the API document doesn't
say it is active on favorites API.

So, I would like to ask you following things.

1. Is that a supported parameter on favorites?
2a. (If it has been active already ) The behavior of since_id on
favorite API. How does it sort statuses?
2b. (If it has not yet ) Will it be supported soon?

Thanks.

 Something is technically wrong. This was broken a few weeks ago, but
 fixed quickly. The error is preventing the Witty client from logging
 into Twitter. Is there a preferred method for logging into Twitter? It
 seems that Witty's mechanism of retrieving user information via
 http://twitter.com/users/show/[username].xml breaks more frequently
 than other methods.

 BTW - I am not involved in Witty's development. I'm just a user who is
 willing to fix the problem and submit a patch to the Witty team. My
 experience with coding against Twitter's REST API is browsing through
 the code of some existing clients. So apologies for the noob-like
 question.
