[twitter-dev] Re: Mentions with since_id is worthless - proposed fix
I agree with you on the reverse order, but slightly disagree on the since_id statement (yes, you did grab my attention from the subject line!) I do find since_id very helpful when using the search API. Very often I would load tweets for a given search string. As I start loading these tweets, I grab the first tweet, and make that my last since_id. Next time my job runs, it resumes from the last since_id and iterates over the results. I find this a simple and effective method. It could be improved however using reverse order. Not just for the reasons you specified, but also for error handling. For example, if you use my logic above and have the following tweet_id's 1, 2, 3, 4 I start my script, and start loading the tweets. It starts from 4, and sets the last since_id=4, then loads, 3, 2, and 1. What happens if after loading 3 there is an API error? (hypothetical) The developer would then need to manually roll-back their batch if they are using the since_id method. If this was done in reverse order, it would be simpler, you would not need to do anything but make the last loaded tweet the since_id (instead of the first)... And yes didn't that sound confusing?! :-) Sherif On May 30, 8:42 pm, Remy Sharp wrote: > Sorry for a slightly gaming subject line, but I've just worked out > that the 'since_id' parameter is worthless in the mentions api call. > It may also be the case in every other API call - but let me explain. > > The only time that I can think that you need to use the since_id param > is if you want to start looking at tweets from that point in time > onwards. > > The API supports a count param, so technically I may only be > interested in the first tweet since X id: > > If the tweet with the ID 1800200012 was posted 15 days ago (and I've > had lot of mentions since) - I would expect to use the following call > to get the mentions after that particular tweet: > > http://twitter.com/statuses/mentions.xml?since_id=1800200012&count=1 > > However, since the API call does all the mentions up to "now" - it > gives me the my latest tweet. > > If there was a way to work backwards, i.e. in reverse order then it > would solve this issue in one fell swoop. > > Possibly using: > > http://twitter.com/statuses/mentions.xml?since_id=1800200012&count=1&;... > > This would be really useful for the personal timeline too, since I > could track the first tweet when I got on holiday, and then follow > each tweet since without having to depend on the search API (which is > still limited to 3 weeks of data). > > What do you think?

[twitter-dev] Reg. Get the New Twitters to follow
Hello All, I want to fetch the twitter accounts which i need to follow based on a particular twitter user's followers / followings directly. When i search a twitter account say(twitter) and i want to follow the specified twitter id's followers / followings where there is no friendship exists among the specified account and the one which is searching. So that they can directly follow the other user's followers / followings without rechecking for the freindship exists among each of the users which we get. Here is an example in detail: I am a user with twitter account id as "searcher" and i want to follow a particular twitter id's(say "searchable") followers / followings. If i've already followed some of the users whom "searchable" is followed / followed by then those must not be included in getting the results which i need to follow. I am using the following method to get the friends list. http://twitter.com/statuses/friends.xml?screen_name=searchable this method is returning all the followings who are also followed by me. I want to get the friends list who i am not following. If i get all the results i have to check "friendships/exists" explicitly the for every user. this will waste a call and consume time also. How can i get the twitters info whom i am not following using "statuses/friends" and "statuses/followers" ? Is there other methods in API to get this list? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks & Regards kkp

For that very reason, I'm not sure it makes sense for third parties to collaborate on a single-purpose distributed store. There are user/account properties that Twitter won't implement, at least not until there's a lot of demonstrated value. In other words, the developer community could collaborate on problems that have marginal value to Twitter in the short run. Nick

A simple reverse-proxy config for a webserver works just fine. I
mocked up something for work using the Search API using a
reserver-proxy config .. Make all the Ajax requests to
${original-source}/proxy/twitter/search and it works like a champ.
NameTrans fn="map" from="/proxy/twitter/search"
name="reverse-proxy-/proxy/twitter/search" to="http:/"
Service fn="proxy-retrieve" method="*"
ObjectType fn="http-client-config" keep-alive="false"
ObjectType fn="block-ip"
Route fn="set-origin-server" rewrite-host="true"
server="http://search.twitter.com/";
I had to put the "block-ip" in there because something on the Twitter
side has a weird config and if I sent the X-orig-IP header or whatever
it is the twitter side returned a 500.

[twitter-dev] Search API results return more info
The search results already have "profile_image_url" which is the "from_user" profile image, but could the "to_user" have its profile image url included as well. This avoids me making multiple calls and hitting your server unnnecessarily. It would clearly only be included/filled when there is a "to_user". I think the bandwidth overhead would be minimal, if not it could be added thru an extra parameter "&extended_user_data=1" or "&include_to_user_profile" so it could be selectively used if required. This addition enables me (http://coderanger.com/twitcher) or other apps to properly attribute the search results like a normal user status.

[twitter-dev] Re: Bulk id -> screen_name resolution.
There is currently nothing in our TOS preventing this type of project from developing.

[twitter-dev] Re: statuses/friends returning 500 error
Can this also explain why on a few accounts I'm seeing a discrepancy between the number of ids in the following JSON versus what Twitter is showing when you see the account on the web? I have at least two accounts that seem to be hung up in the 2,000 following/follower hurdle. The JSON array on one account has 1940 following while Twitter says I'm following 2,001. Another account says I'm following 2,026 while the JSON data for following only returns 1,899 entries.

[twitter-dev] SSL error on the Sign
In IE https://twitter.com/oauth/authorize generates an SSL warning that happens after you click on the sign in with twitter link. The warning says "Do you want to view only the web page content that was delivered securely? This web page contains content that will not be delivered using a secure HTTPS connection, which could compromise the security of the entire web page." The reason the error occurs is because twitter is referring to a couple of CSS and javascript files with http instead of https on a secure page. It's no big deal from a technical or security stand point because who really cares if a JS or CSS file is intercepted in plain text but non-technical users will not understand what the warning means and may be scared by it. I'm hoping someone at twitter will correct this.
[twitter-dev] Not Reveiving Follow EMails
Our application (glu) relies on follow notifications so that we can follow back anyone that follows us. we're now only receiving follow notifications intermitently. If we use one of our test accounts, that already follows glu, unfollow them, log out, remove them from our follow list on the glu account, log back in with the test account and then follow glu again we do not recieve the follow email, or any email of the kind. We are receiving direct message mails though. Has the policy on follow emails changed recently and we're just not aware of it, or is something up? Dale
[twitter-dev] oauth not working in IE
Did something just change like around 9:30PM Eastern. The oauth authorization was working great in IE but all the sudden it stopped. It appears twitter is not returning with the auth token or something I'm just get bounce around a little then it settles on this error message. Woah there! This page requires some information that was not provided. Please return to the site that sent you to this page and try again … it was probably an honest mistake. It's still working fine in FF and I never say it's not my code but considering this example site (http://twitter.abrah.am/) I found in twitter's documentation doesn't work anymore either in IE I'm gonna have to say it's not my code.
[twitter-dev] Reg: Follow/Un-Follow Multiple users
Hi, I want to follow/unfollow multiple users in one web request. At present i am following/un follow users individually by sending each user. It is taking long time and waste calls. If i have 100 users to follow/un follow i am sending 100 requests , this will take a long time process and taking more time and take 100 calls. I have another problem... If i want to unfollow "unmutuals" .Is there any method to get the unmutualls? Present i am using the following scenario ..I have 100 followings and i want to unfollow the "Un mutauls". using my application. i get the 100 users and checking the frienship is exists or not from following user to me using "friendships/exists " API method. if friendship is not exists i unfollow users using the API method "friendships/destroy ". So in this way i consuming 200 calls . 100 calls for "friendships/ exists" and 100 calls for "friendships/destroy". so many calls are taking and application will also take too long time to perform this operation. How can wee overcome this. So my questions are .. 1. Is there any way(methods) to " follow/unfollow" users as bulk ? 2. Is there any methods are available to get the "Un mutuals" from following list? thanks & regards kkp
[twitter-dev] Re: Reg: Follow/Un-Follow Multiple users
1) no. 2) Use the social graph method to get the friends and followers ids then unfollow anybody that is not in both arrays.
