[twitter-dev] Test Account Procedures
Hi Alex, I was wondering if you have a provision/process for obtaining Test Accounts and Data. I want to try to avoid creating test accounts. Thanks, Greg.

[twitter-dev] Link in updates from api
Hi All, I want to add a link in the tweet, I send from my application using apis. Please let me know how can I do that? Thanks
[twitter-dev] API limits - what am I missing? Seeking clarity on API request limits.
I see the 2 following statements made, in the following order within moments of each other at http://apiwiki.twitter.com/REST+API+Documentation. Under "Pagination Limiting": "Clients may request up to 3,200 statuses via the page and count parameters. Requests for more than the limit will result in a reply with a status code of 200 and an empty result in the format requested." Under "Be Nice to the Servers": "If your application keeps a local archive that persists between sessions, it's okay to request an entire timeline up to 200 statuses." So I can only request up to 200 statuses even though the limit using page or count is 3200? What gives? I'd like to pull about 1950 statuses, all of my updates, in one API connection. Is my limit 200 per API request (requiring 10 API requests) OR is my limit 1950 in one API request? Are there other parameters besides page and count which are more server friendly, thus allowing larger requests? What am I missing? Can someone clarify please? Now that I figured out how to do what I want to do, I want to make sure that I play by the rules so that I don't get blacklisted for killing the servers.

[twitter-dev] OAuth tokens don't seem to last more than a day
OAuth tokens don't seem to be valid more than a day. Anyone else experiencing this? Is there a fix. Its is very irritating to keep reauthorising.

[twitter-dev] Re: friends_timeline and following
Just noticed I also have the problem with "statuses/followers". The "following" value is incorrect (and sometimes it's even not a bool, which excludes a cache issue, I guess). The problem seems to be new, and it's very annoying as I have to (re) check manually using the "friendships/exists" method, making much more hits. Are you aware of this issue ? All the best, Arnaud.

[twitter-dev] About statuses/friends_timeline
Hi2all! I've found, that http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.xml response with XML document, where info about user is repeated for every status. I think, it's so uneffective by traffic volume reason! How can I get friend's statuses without full info about the author? Thanks!
[twitter-dev] Looking for someone to switch my app from http post auth to OAuth
I know its simple to do but I am swamped right now. I need someone that can switch the authentication on my app to OAuth from the current http post I am using now. My app posts tweets on behalf of the user. I current do this using username/password stored in a session once the user logs in. I guess this changes slightly when using OAuth (since Twitter doesn't pass back the password obviously). The site url is http://tinyurl.com/dlmq7k It is PHP and MySQL I am looking to spend USD$100 on this.

Backtweets.com resolve redirecting URLs (tinyurl.com, bit.ly, etc) so that when you search it you're searching final URLs. The search API is searching the content of tweets and does not resolve the URLs. That's why they're different. -Stuart -- http://stut.net/projects/twitter/

[twitter-dev] Search by in_reply_to_status_id
Hello. I started a project whose goal is to allow users to track the reaction of the crowd to their posts. This includes showing all the replies and retweets born as reaction to the original message, organizing the data in a threaded schema. While finding retweets of a particular message is fairly easy using the Search API (Query: "RT @user "), finding and filtering all the replies can become a non- trivial work quite fast. While tracking the replies given directly to you isn't particularly hard, though not very efficient (find posts directed to you via search API -- "to:user since_id:" -- and then filter by in_reply_to_status_id), it becomes a nightmare when you want to track what your followers' friends have answered to the replies you got from your own followers. Example of conversation: Me: any idea about how to track the whole conversation originated from this tweet? MyFollower: @Me try posting in the twitter dev talk, maybe they can help you AFollowerOf_MyFollower: @MyFollower I know for sure those guys are very supportive Tracking MyFollower's response is not a big deal, even if the "first fetch them all, then select those you need" may not be the most efficient to implement for large volumes of tweets -- think to the power-users with thousands, if not millions, of followers -- since above certain limits, API usage caps (especially about number of tweets that can be retrieved at once) start becoming an issue. The real problem comes when you want to show in the threaded conversation AFollowerOf_MyFollower's tweet, too. Sure thing, you can use the same strategy as above (Search "to:MyFollower", fetch all, filter by in_reply_to_status_id), but now instead of having to do a single query (to:Me) to retrieve the replies to your posts, you have to perform a fetching and filtering cycle for every person who took part to the conversation: the growth is exponential. A solution may be to allow searches by in_reply_to_status_id (something like "reply:")... this would greatly lower the cost of looking for replies to your posts. Would it be possible to have such a feature exposed in future? Are there other, more efficient solutions, anybody can suggest to solve my problem efficiently? Thank you for the support. I apologize for the long post and my bad English, but I'm not a native English speaker and I tried to expose my problem as clearly as I could. -- Michele

[twitter-dev] Re: IP Address range
I'll be honest, filtering outbound traffic is very draconian. Is this a company server, or are you guys renting a hosted server yourselves? If it is the latter I would tell them to accept all outbound traffic or switch hosts. billbarn42 wrote: I've got a python script that is monitoring the playlist for our local public radio station, and tweeting when new tracks come up. It is using @wdav as the twitter ID (although that is not relevant to this question...) I am using the twitter.py library to wrap the twitter api. Runs fine on my local laptop, but when I deployed it to my hosted server I had to tell them an IP address it was posting to so they could implement a firewall rule to let the traffic through. I gave them 128.121.146.100, since that's what comes back from a ping to twitter.com. The problem is that it seems the script is frequently trying to use other ip addresses to reach twitter. Is there a range of IP addresses that might be valid Twitter endpoints, that I need to pass on to the hosted server admin team? Any help greatly appreciated! Bill

[twitter-dev] Re: Proof of identity rather than authorization
I think we're getting some movement on this - see this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/73524da521d3081c?hl=en Cheers, G.
