Re: White list application... I may have not understood what is needed from me.

2008-11-20 Thread ThatLeeGuy 

Hey Alex,

We have looked into the search api and are currently rewriting the
application.
We will test it in a couple hours and I'm pretty sure it will be what
we need.
There are just have a few little issues to overcome first.

Thanks for the tip and help!

 Sure does.  You might check out the Search API.  You can retrieve
 @replies that way as well, and in higher volume.

  Hey Alex,

  The application retrieves all of the @replies to a single specific
  user usinghttp://twitter.com/statuses/replies.xmland stores them to
  a database.

  As there is a limit of the last 20 @replies and I do not know really
  how much traffic I am requesting the replies.xml on every visit.
  It could be as high as 2500 requests an hour or as few as 200, but I
  think it will be a very brief period of high traffic with a plateau
  and decline within 60 hours to a sustained level of 500/hr.

  If there was a way to retrieve more than the last 20 @replies, say 500
  or so, I could easily step this frequency down using caching and not
  worry about missing any replies.

  Does that make sense?

  Thanks Alex,

   I want an website application white listed that uses an authenticated

   application rather than a user account?

  Just IPs, please

   What do you need to know in the way of application details to provide
   you with enough information to make a decision?

  What the application does, how often you plan to request which methods.

   Lastly, I understand that you probably have greater issues today, how
   long do you think it will be before we know if we are approved?

  Between one and three days.  I just cleared out the backlog of requests.

simple tweet this implementation

2008-11-20 Thread scottjgo 

Hi.

I want to add a tweet this link to my website. The idea is that you
would click the button, and it would prepopulate the message field on
twitter with a link. Ideally, you would authenticate through
twitter.com so I can avoid handling passwords.

I understand you can use a link like: 
http://twitter.com/home?status=Putyourmessagehere
but is it possible to replace the from web with a link to my
website? Without that, it sort of eliminates the cool viral
advertising. Is the only alternative to use the real api (and handle
passwords)?

Thanks.

Yes, you'll need to make a proper API request to have your update  
attributed.
