Re: Date followed?
Currently there's nothing available via the API – you'd probably need to cache your whole followers list and then compare the last version to the newest. You probably should file an issue in the tracker if one does not already exist for this feature request: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list -- Ed Finkler http://funkatron.com AIM: funka7ron ICQ: 3922133 Skype: funka7ron On Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 9:22 AM, Ryan Bigg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I am also interested in this feature. >

Re: Rate Limit For Mass POSTs
The rate limit on DMs isn't something we share publicly, as it's subject to change. Not trying to be secretive, we just don't want people coding around one particular value only to have it be raised or lowered as is necessary to combat spam and abusive usage of our service. We don't lift the DM rate limit based on IP, but rather on username. So if we whitelist your account, that account will be able to send unlimited DMs. On Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 7:06 PM, Tony Stubblebine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Thanks Alex, > > What's the limit on DMs per day and is that something that can be > whitelisted by IP? > > I guess whitelisting by IP wouldn't make much sense in a general case. > The project I'm working on is going to live on the web and live both > inside and outside of CrowdVine.

Re: Date followed?
This is something we're happy to provide, but probably won't get to in the current version of the API.

Re: Does direct_messages (Twitter API) support RFC 1123/RFC 822 date time format
The date in the examples in the documentation was taking from a
working test, but is now outdated (you can only use since and
If-Modified-Since with dates within the last 24 hours).

Return user information in verify_credentials instead of just string representing authorized?
Return user information in verify_credentials instead of just string representing authorized? Useful if we could get the user id at this time instead of having to make a separate call to get the data.

Re: Date followed?
Thanks Alex. Has there been any communication as to what we should be planning for in the new version of the API? What is being changed? How is progress on it, and when can we expect to see something we can play with? Will we be able to test it out any before you release?
