[twitter-dev] Clarifications on IP Address Whitelisting
I apologize if this question has already been answered in the archives. I've followed this list for a couple days and hadn't seen this specific question come up. My application has been white listed. In doing so, I specified a set of 5 IP addresses from which traffic from my application may come. TFM states [1]: we offer whitelisting which will raise an account or IP address' rate limit to 2 requests per hour. My understanding is that this means each of my 5 IP Addresses can make 20,000 unique API requests per hour (for a total of 120,000 API requests / hr as long as I write some sort of IP Address load balancing code.) But I have not seen that actually spelled out in so many words. Is my assumption correct? (my app is nowhere near that limit, but I am working on some capacity planning numbers.) If my assumption is correct, is there a further limit on the number of unique addresses my Application can have whitelisted? Also, is whitelisting limited to IPv4? I have not yet tried it with any IPv6 addresses. [1] http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Rate-limiting?SearchFor=white+list&sp=1 -- Patrick Burrows http://www.CleverHumans.com

[twitter-dev] Creating a "search" histogram
Hi, I have seen some applications that show you the NUMBER of mentions of a specific term over a given time period. I read through the API but don't see any useful method or call for making this happen. Does anyone have a good suggestion for how to obtain the data needed to know how many mentions of a specific term occured PER day over a given time period, such as two years? Omniture's SiteCatalyst seems to be doing it somehow. Thanks! Josh
[twitter-dev] Re: IP Address range
I think I'm encountering the same hurdle with my application. Unfortunately my hosting provider insists on having an IP to use in order to filter outbound traffic from the server. I don't suppose that there's any chance that you would be able to provide this so that I can get access to the API from an application that needs to integrate twitter? Thanks.

Omniture's SiteCatalyst seems > to be doing it somehow. Can't be done right now, since there is nowhere near that much history in Twitter's search index. Even when there is, there will undoubtedly be an upper limit on results, which will prevent you from getting all the history for popular terms. However, if the data were available, the methodology would be fairly simple. You'd search on the terms and then iterate through the search results, counting unique mentions by day. I'll suggest that for most purposes, the number of unique people mentioning a term is more interesting than the number of mentions (I've done a lot of that kind of analysis). I guess there's another possibility - use Google, which has more history. e.g. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1C1CHMI_enUS291US307&q=site:twitter.com+%2Bego&btnG=Search For that term, there are about 56,000 results... but you can't get more than 10,000 results from Google. And you'd have to either parse the resulting pages to extract the status messages or just capture the screen names and use the Twitter APIs to get the statuses... fairly horrendous amount of work to get the data. For the sake of completeness, I'll note that you can get beyond 10,000 results from Google by excluding terms, but there are also daily limits to Google API queries. And... knowing that Twitter Trends is doing essentially the same thing over the short term, I would suspect that if there's a need for this, Twitter will eventually tackle it. Those who are doing it now must have captured the data earlier if they have a year's worth. Nick

[twitter-dev] Following or not or maybe...
If a user has protected updates, a call to /friendships/exists returns a 403. That, combined with an empty or inaccurate "following" value in the user data returned by the API means that there's no way for a client to get the current following status of a protected user. (It can't be inferred by the 403 error either: the requester may be following, but it might not have been approved by the person being queried.) >From what I can tell, the basic probem is that friendships really have three states now: following, not following and pending. It would be nice to have the /friendships/exists API method (or something similar) could provide this state so it can be represented correctly in a client application. -ch

What is the most efficient way to get screen_names for all of your followers (since, the social graph method returns a list of user_ids)? Thanks! -- Matt Smith http://twitter.com/smithworx

Operations is going to look in to this. It is apparently a known issue but very difficult to track down given the complexities of our architecture so expect the fix to take a while. For now, please make sure your application has logic to support this error case gracefully.

[twitter-dev] account/rate_limit_status API probrem
Hi. Is it only I that such a phenomenon occurs though remaining-hits of returning information seems not to be correct, and to differ from information that returns by the X-RateLimit-Remaining header about API of rate-limit-status? With this, I am embarrassed because it consumes API though there is a method of seeing the X-RateLimit-Remaining header when the method of limiting API is issued, too.

I don't really understand why this call returns a 403 when statuses are protected. If you ignore "pending" for the moment (or throw it in with the "false" bucket), the follows/followed information is available through friends/ids and followers/ids, so I don't think the same information should be covered by the "protected" flag in this different call.
[twitter-dev] 500 errors using search API
I am getting frequent 500 errors when using the search api. This began at about 7pm Eastern today. The code I am using worked fine prior to that. Any advice or assistance would be appreciated.
[twitter-dev] Re: 417- Expectation failed error
Hi,
I checked if expect header was still getting added and IT WAS!
The below link helped me:
http://topomorph.info/post/Finds-a-solution-to-the-Expect-continue-100-isue.aspx
I changed the WebRequest to HttpWebRequest and the latter has a
ServicePoint.Expect100Continue which needed to be set to 'false' and
removed the System.Net.ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = false.
This solved my issue.
Thanks for your help... :)
