[twitter-dev] OAuth example in Java language

[twitter-dev] Re: Direct Message Emails Vulnerable?
I do have to question having your client verify DKIM again, though. These activities should be dealt with inside of your MTA and not a mail destination script hanging off of the MTA. What exactly are you trying to protect against? A user forging an email to your MTA as twitter? Yes - that's exactly what I'm afraid of. That's defensible by fixing your MTA's configuration (to validate DKIM and SPF coming from twitter.com hosts) and not doing it in your script. You're right. After doing a quick reading yesterday, I realized that I can configure Postfix to do this validations for me. The only reason I'm still considering doing the DomainKeys validation in my code is because I heard more than once that DomainKeys is still not stable enough and can cause problems. Having it in my code instead of Postfix configuration makes it more maintainable, isn't it? Arik

[twitter-dev] Handling the OAuth flow when the user clicks Deny / Decline
When the user clicks decline the flow is abruptly disrupted. I didn't see anything in the OAuth spec that specifies how a decline is handled. It would be nice if there was a decline url that the application could specify which the user is redirected to.

[twitter-dev] HTML Encoded Return Values

[twitter-dev] Re: Handling the OAuth flow when the user clicks Deny / Decline
Doug, I think using the same URL would work, but it might be nice to have an extra (or different) param added in order to determine the reason. For example, if a user revokes access from the web and Twitter notifies the URL, the app may just be updating values in a DB, not displaying anything. Whereas if the user clicks Deny and is sent to the URL, not only will DB updates be made, but a message provided to the user. Just a thought ;) On May 5, 10:36 am, Doug Williams d...@twitter.com wrote: I'm trying to decide if this could easily be part of [1]?

[twitter-dev] Authenticate, OAuth and Force_login
Hi Guys, I am having a couple of issues with using Authenticate using OAuth and force_login = true parameter. Can someone confirm that I am being an idiot? :) If I am currently logged in to twitter all my requests are authenticated against that user regardless of the username password combination that I present to the twitter authentication page. For example, I am logged into twitter as my PaulKinlan user. I need to log in to my application as Twollo, so I go through the normal oauth process, enter Twollo as the username and the correct password and click Sign in. My service recieves the callback and then calls verify_credentials.json, however even though I know the process I use is correct, the verify credentials returns the details for PaulKinlan and not Twollo as expected. It appears to me that the request tokens, access tokens and token secrets are being created against the logged in user and not the authenticating user. If I completly log out of Twitter I can access all the accounts as I would expect. Is anyone else seeing this, or is it me? I could have sworn it was working ok the other day? Is the expected behaviour. Paul

That is unless you are asking for programmatic access to an api list via an api? 2009/5/4 Mike Lewis mikelikes...@gmail.com Is there a way to generate a list of API methods in JSON, or CSV with the parameters, or a place where one could download one. I'm interested in this for generating a library. Thanks, Mike
[twitter-dev] Creating A Live Twitter Feed For My Website
I'm looking to create a live twitter feed for my website. I have a great deal of twitter api experience but I'm not exactly sure how to go about doing it. I need to display the last 5 posts on my website and then append a new posts as they come in to the top of the list and delete the bottom post to keep it at a total of 5 posts. I want it to be animated so I'm thinking of using jquery to do this. How would I go about doing this or does anyone know a good place to start?

MIke, File bugs against the docs and I will fix them, where appropriate.

It would be able to be very robust because most of the parameter checking could be done client-side, which means less guessing and invalid requests to twitter. Also, when there's API changes, the library could be updated automatically. Maybe tonight or something, I'll take a couple twitter methods and put them in a format similar to what I'd expect, and make a little demo on how one could generate a library.

[twitter-dev] Re: Adding @username replies to twitter feed?
J jpic...@gmail.com writes: Username celebfood. I'm looking to add a functionality where ANY reply @celebfood from a twitter user can be added to the feed. Not just the reply feed, the public feed. If you can run a service authenticated as celebfood, you can pull down the public and replies/mentions timelines for celebfood and merge them into one timeline. As far as I know, that's about all you can do (and will be similar to what you're already doing with the search and Pipes), unless you want to retweet all replies. - Michael -- mouse, n: A device for pointing at the xterm in which you want to type.
