Erg... added some connection failure logic so that if the stream
"dies" or my comet interface dies it will attempt to reconnect.  Sorry

[twitter-dev] Re: Search: Resolution of Since, and howto avoid pulling redundant search results

[Jeffrey Greenberg]

i've got a working solution as far as pulling in tweets doing pretty much as
I said, except that.it will fail when there is a burst of tweets.  For some
very active search term, say something that exceeds the 1500 search limit
(15 pages x100tweets/pg) per day... Tweets will be missed.  For my
application, i the odds are that missing a small quantity of tweets isn't
earth shattering, but there's a *chance* it could be..  I think of this as a
twitter shortcoming...  Wondering if it's worth filing a low-priority bug
for it?

[twitter-dev] Fun example uses of /spritzer stream

[Chad Etzel]

Hi All,

The twitterfall guys have a cool demo up at
http://hose.twitterfall.com/ showing the /spritzer stream over the
web.

This inspired me to look into a comet server - http://meteorserver.org
in this case - and try my own example:

http://idek.net/B_S

This basically just tallies the twitter client sources as they come
in... kinda fun to watch and see the clients' "market share" as it
were...

The point here is not how cool this is to look at, but how dead simple
it was to throw together.  Litterally about 20 minutes to set up the
Meteor server, write a quick twitter-stream to meteor interface in PHP
and throw together a few lines of HTML/javascript.  Cheers to John and
team for this great source of data to play with!

If anyone is interested in seeing the PHP script to interface the
stream w/ the server, let me know.

[twitter-dev] iPhone Help

[eric Lee]

Is there another way to view friend's timeline without "
https://username:passw...@twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.xml";?
For some reason, the iPod Touch/iPhone won't recognize the URL when I try it
out.

I can still retrieve the Public timeline though because there isn't the "
username:passw...@twitter.com " thing.

Thanks!

[twitter-dev] Paging for friends/ids

[elversatile]

It seems that paging is not working correctly for friends/ids call. I
was trying to page through friends of Barack Obama by doing
http://twitter.com/friends/ids/barackobama.xml?page=1,
http://twitter.com/friends/ids/barackobama.xml?page=2, etc. But it
seems that every file just gets bigger, e.g., first I get 5000 ids,
then 1, up to 20 when on page 40 and then it just stop
working.

I thought the intention was to page through friends 5000 ids at a
time, instead it seems like it's giving me everything through that
page number, until it can no longer fetch that many.

Is it a known problem? Any way around this?

[twitter-dev] Re: Search: Resolution of Since, and howto avoid pulling redundant search results

[Doug Williams]

As the docs [1] state the correct format is since:-MM-DD which give you
resolution down to a day.  Any further processing must be done on the client
side. Given the constraints, utilizing a combination of since: and since_id
sounds like a great solution.

The code counts UTF-8 characters, not bytes. So the maximum amount of data
you can transmit is the maximum number of bytes you can fit into 140 UTF-8
chars.

[twitter-dev] Re: what's the best way to replicate a twitter bot's followers list?

[Jesse Stay]

Joseph, I was told Twitter has no intentions of making this any
easier.  Right now we're just having to split it across multiple
servers and poll regularly.  It's very expensive and inefficient, but
that's the only way to do it for now.
 I would certainly love to reduce the load though if Twitter were to provide
a way.

[twitter-dev] Re: The Data Mining Feed has troubles?

[Doug Williams]

The streaming API will be our method to provide access large sets of data
moving forward. We are working on a method to automate the handling requests
to /gardenhose at the moment which should be deployed shortly.
There is an open issue [1] for public_timeline and datamining feed trouble,
but as you can tell it is not a priority given that /spritzer has open
access, has been rock solid, and gives more data than the 600 tweet per
minute available with a working datamining feed. If you need data, we
encourage you to start with /spritzer and move to /gardenhose when the click
through agreement system is finished in the near future.

[twitter-dev] what's the best way to replicate a twitter bot's followers list?

[Joseph Smarr]

At our next company hackathon, I'd like to make a twitter bot for
Plaxo where you can follow it and get DMs with all your Plaxo
notifications (e.g. "John commented on your status update", etc.). The
biggest challenge I'm facing is how to know when a notification gets
generated that the recipient is currently a follower of the plaxo bot
on twitter. I need the lookup-function to be cheap when notifications
are being inserted (since that happens a lot and in most cases the
user will not be a follower), so that means probably setting some bit
on the subset of our users that have hooked up their twitter account
and are following our plaxo account. So that means we'll need some
offline mechanism for periodically looking for newly-added and newly-
removed followers on twitter and setting the bit on the right plaxo
accounts. But is there an efficient way to do this?

I understand that when someone starts following your account, you can
get an email and use that as a push-notification to tag the
appropriate user. But you can't get any notification when someone
stops following you, right? Does that mean we'd have to fetch our
entire follower list every time and do a full diff with every user in
our system to update things? Seems really expensive. Any better
suggestions? I'd imagine this is a pattern that will become more
common as existing services with existing userbases want a way to
interact with their users via twitter.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer here! :)

[twitter-dev] Re: oAuth Question

[Francis Shanahan]

Thanks for the reply. Yes I figured I was doing something wrong but
I'm not sure what.

I've found subsequent calls work fine, up until a few hours.

I figured my reading of the spec was wrong and I was storing the wrong
oauth token or something but if that's not the case I'll at least stop
trying to debug the protocol and focus elsewhere.

There's a new group on Facebook - 'Twitter API'
( http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=82659028019 )

Primarily to meet other developers in a more social context.
I welcome Twitter dev team members to be admins of the group.

Thanks,

[twitter-dev] Re: Library for .NET 1.1

[sbc111]

The Twitter libraries are available with source - you can recompile
down to .NET v1.1. (I presume in most cases).
Is there a particular reason you want to develop under .NET v1.1?
Drop me an email if issue is primarily a .NET one (rather than
Twitter).

There are a couple of images at the bottom of this page:

I think they count as official!

[twitter-dev] Re: Problem following new followers

[pplante]

The rate limiting on follow requests isn't on the wiki.  Last I heard
it was 1000 follows per day, if you go over that limit then you will
be blacklisted for 24 hours from that point.

[twitter-dev] Re: The Data Mining Feed has troubles?

[pplante]

You may want to switch to the new streaming API methods.  With proper
message queue processing you can reach speeds comparable or better
than the data mining feed.

This switch will likely require more work up front, but in the end it
will allow for the most expansion.

It is the offset, from GMT, of the time zone being stamped.  For example,
from your email's headers, there's this time stamp in a Received header:

Thu, 21 May 2009 14:21:53 -0700 (PDT)

That says that it was stamped in a time zone that is 7 hours behind
GMT.  The "PDT" specifies which of those time zones it is.  The date
header on your email was six hours behind GMT (-0600).

And if you are wondering why it is four digits, for hours and minutes,
it's because there are time zones whose offset is a number or hours
plus 30 minutes.

[twitter-dev] Search: Resolution of Since, and howto avoid pulling redundant search results

[Jeffrey Greenberg]

What is the resolution of the 'since' operator?  It appears to be by the
day, but I'd sure like it to be by the minute or second.
Can't seem to find this in the docs.

The use case is that I want to minimize pulling searches results that i've
already got.   My solution is to record the time of the last search and the
last status_id, and ask for subsequent searches from the status_id. If that
fails because it's out of range, I'll ask by the last search date.  Is this
the way to go?

[twitter-dev] Re: Our own redirecting URL is being changed to a bit.ly URL

Hi,

If it can be in any help, I have a kind of private url shortening
service that I could adapt to your needs. www.fwd.li.

I can't really design the page because I am blind (the reason why there
is no logo). However it might come handy to have an url shortening api
service designed individually for your apps.

I currently support plain text and xml output.

Cheers,
Emrah
P.s.: if someone is interested in making a logo, you're welcome. If
someone else would like to carry on the dev, welcome as well. :)

[twitter-dev] Problem following new followers

[Nial]

I have a bot which scans an email account for Twitter follow requests
and then attempts to create a new connection with them. This is
working correctly, however it would seem that I'm hitting a rate
limit. After a few users are followed, I start receiving the error
"Could not follow user: You are unable to follow more people at this
time."

The page the error links me to suggests a few reasons why I may have
been rate limited, but I don't seem to meet any of the criteria. This
occurs after following around 10 or so users and then lasts for a day,
before apparently being reset. The problem is, by that time new users
have followed me and the cycle repeats. Should I be pausing between
requests? I'm not sure whether the Twitter servers will automatically
turn down the requests if I don't enforce some kind of interval.

I'm using OAuth to authenticate my requests and it would appear that
creating follow requests is the only action limited. I can still post
and grab tweets via the API.

Any suggestions?

[twitter-dev] Re: Profile image urls - how to update

[Ollie Parsley]

I put a very quick app together called "Twavatars" that creates a
static URL to a profile image. The request does an API call and
streams the image from the S3 url. This does make the images load
slower but it is only a temporary solution untill there is an official
solution. So it is fine when displaying a couple of avatars, if you
displaying lots of avatars it will be tediously slow.

My avatar (@ollieparsley) ->

or http://twavatars.ollieparsley.com/user/ollieparsley?s=normal

[twitter-dev] Re: Invalid token authentication failed when reply_to_status_id set

[jmathai]

This is being tracked on github and twitter-api.
http://github.com/jmathai/twitter-async/issues#issue/6
http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=595

I'm unable to replicate the behavior using the exact code provided.
Unsure if it's a bug in my library or something else.

[twitter-dev] oAuth Question

[Francis Shanahan]

I have oAuth working for http://tweetarun.com

When the user "Grants" access I get the oAuth token back which is the
"request" token.
Then I exchange this for an "Access" token and I store this for use
with all subsequent calls.

The question is how long is this "Access" token good for?

I'm finding when a user comes back even as soon as a few hours the
token no longer works and they have to go "Grant" again. Am I doing
something wrong?
