[twitter-dev] Re: Intermittent network failures?
I'm monitoring the Twitter API response time and errors rate (using MRTG, with a couple of different methods). If some of you are interested, I can share these charts on a public page. I guess it could help you guys to figure out why your apps are sometimes working weirdly. Could also help you to determine at what time the Twitter API is the less loaded (if you can delay your requests). 2009/7/13 BlueSkies scarter28m-goo...@yahoo.com I also run on AWS/EC2 and have been seeing the problem where curl returns a status of 0 for many months (as long as I have been tracking it).

From the wiki, http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Streaming-API-Documentation:
Streams may also contain status deletion notices. Clients are urged
to honor deletion requests and discard deleted statuses immediately.
* XML: deletestatusid1234/iduser_id3/user_id/
status/delete
* JSON: { delete: { status: { id: 1234, user_id: 3 } } }
I don't know if this is related to the Streaming API directly or not,
but I am curious when deletions are going to be reflected in the

coming. I just wonder if that time has come after July 16th or if
that will be sometime later.

[twitter-dev] Re: How to track a phrase in Streaming API?
Follow the example on the Streaming API wiki. If you insist on doing this entirely on the command line, which will not work for more than a handful of predicates, you can do: curl localhost:8080/track.xml\? track=Harry,Potter Currently track works only on keywords, not phrases. You can search for Harry OR Potter, but not Harry AND Potter. It's probably best to track on the lowest frequency word in the phrase, to avoid the rate limit. -John Kalucki twitter.com/jkalucki Services, Twitter Inc.

[twitter-dev] Re: How to track a phrase in Streaming API?
Currently track works only on keywords, not phrases. This answers my question very clearly, thanks John! I'm storing the data in a local database anyways, so I can just do a phrase search of my data and delete the records I don't need. More data than necessary gets transmitted from Twitter this way, but I guess there's no way around it -- and for me the end result is the same anyways -- so it looks like I can proceed successfully now. Thanks again for everyone's help, I'll be back when I have new questions ... :) Owkaye

For others' edification: Twitter devs have said this is a bug and they are actively working on resolving it.

[twitter-dev] Is it okay to close a connection by opening a new one?
The Streaming API docs say we should avoid opening new connections with the same user:pass when that user already has a connection open. But I'm hoping it is okay to do this every hour or so, here's why: My plan is to write the streaming XML data to a text file during each connection -- but I don't want this file to get so big that I have trouble processing it on the back end. Therefore I want to rotate these files every hour ... This means I have to stop writing to the file, close it, move it somewhere else, and create a new file so I can use the new file to continue storing new streaming XML data. The obvious way for me to close these files is to close the connection -- by opening a new connection -- because from what I've read it seems that opening a new connection forces the previous connection to close. Can I do this without running into any black listing or denial of service issues? I mean, is this an acceptable way to close a connection ... by opening a new one in order to force the old connection to close? Any info you can provide that will clarify this issue is greatly appreciated, thanks! Owkaye

[twitter-dev] Re: Is it okay to close a connection by opening a new one?
Why can't you do this entirely in your code? Why do you need to close the connection and reconnect? Closing a file, moving it, and then creating a new file should be able to be done extremely fast, thus you shouldn't need to close your connection to Twitter. Also, if at all possible, JSON is a much better format to use. It's smaller over the wire, and it'll create smaller files. -Joel From: twitter-development-talk@googlegroups.com [mailto:twitter-development-t...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Alex Payne Sent: Tuesday, July 14, 2009 4:07 PM To: twitter-development-talk@googlegroups.com Subject: [twitter-dev] Re: Is it okay to close a connection by opening a new one?

The HTTP headers in the response are: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2009 23:13:56 GMT Server: hi Last-Modified: Tue, 14 Jul 2009 23:13:56 GMT Status: 200 OK ETag: 56f05d81ae1e088e58e908037fe15aef Pragma: no-cache Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate, pre-check=0, post- check=0 Content-Type: application/xml; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 306 Expires: Tue, 31 Mar 1981 05:00:00 GMT X-Revision: 2da57beb7893dcb352b069aadddbf5916013ea1d X-Transaction: 1247613236-88799-1093 Set-Cookie: lang=en; path=/ Set-Cookie: _twitter_sess=BAh7CToJdXNlcmkEKk1aAzoHaWQiJTZiMWI4MmQ3MDNmOWFhZjdiMD hiYmI1%250AZTYzN2I1NjgwIgpmbGFzaElDOidBY3Rpb25Db250cm9sbGVyOjpGbGFzaDo6%250ARmxh c2hIYXNoewAGOgpAdXNlZHsAOhNwYXNzd29yZF90b2tlbiItMWQ1YmZl %250AMTE5NmYwOTlhYjI2OGE 1NTRiNmMwYzJjOWQ1ZWQ5ODUzZg%253D %253D--0bb9b2c1b8d9bee81c7aa35e9a91a6745df9a888; domain=.twitter.com; path=/ Vary: Accept-Encoding /Martin On Jul 13, 7:48 pm, alan_b ala...@gmail.com wrote: but thehttp://apiwiki.twitter.com/Rate-limiting doc also said: If you have received verification from Twitter that your account and/ or IP address has been whitelisted you can verify your whitelisting with the accounts/rate_limit_status method.

GET requests from a whitelisted IP address made on a user's behalf will be deducted from the whitelisted IP's limit, not the users. http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Rate-limiting If he's seeing a 20k limit, then that implies it's a whitelisted IP. According to the above, that IP would take precedence over the account user's passed in credentials. Yes? Both Matt and Doug answered this question though, so I feel like I must be reading this wrong. :) -damon --http://twitter.com/damon On Mon, Jul 13, 2009 at 7:48 PM, Doug Williamsd...@twitter.com wrote: Martin, That's interesting. Is there a pattern to this? Can you offer steps for recreation? It would be helpful to have full header information when this does happen so we can look to see if a specific machine that is returning incorrect information.

I run this curl command curl -u username:password http://twitter.com/account/rate_limit_status.xml where username and password are the account's real username and password. Most of the time the response contains an hourly-limit of 20,000, for my IP address I assume. But occasionally the exact same curl command returns an hourly-limit of 150. Very odd. I assume curl handles the credentials correctly. Any thoughts? /Martin On Jul 13, 9:54 am, Justin justin.realw...@googlemail.com wrote: Sorry about emailing you my last response. I understand what you're saying about firefox - though I'm having the same issue with requests via Microsoft.XMLHTTP requests - it's gone the end of the day now (I do have a habit of starting these things when there's no time). Will carry on the fight tomorrow - at least I have a direction now - will try some other request methods.

[twitter-dev] Re: Failed update doesn't return an error message?
Doug, Thanks for your prompt reply. Yes, it does sound like issue 795. I am sending a new, non-duplicate, update. My app just ran into the rate limit again. I verified by trying to post an update on twitter.com and got the message Wow, that's a lot of Twittering! You have reached your limit of updates for the hour. Try again later. While my account (@martins_test) was in this state, I sent this: curl -u username:password -d status=testing http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml -D headerfile The XML response contained the text of the last successful status update. The HTTP headers started with HTTP/1.1 200 OK In other words, this is the same problem I ran into yesterday. Is there any other data that would help troubleshoot this? All the best, /Martin On Jul 13, 5:52 pm, Doug Williams d...@twitter.com wrote: Martin, This sounds like issue 795 [1]. When you get the 200, are you sending the same (duplicate) text as the last successful update? If so, this is the expected behavior. However, if you are sending new (non duplicate) text and you are hitting the update limit, you should be receiving a HTTP 403 response code. Can you specify exactly what you are doing so we can debug? 1.http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=795 Thanks, Doug On Mon, Jul 13, 2009 at 4:38 PM, Martin Omander moman...@google.com wrote: Hi there, Earlier today I ran afoul of the rate limit for updates through the API.

When I used the curl command above and the update failed, I did notice that the returned text element did not contain the status text I had sent. Instead it contained my last successful update from 30 minutes earlier. When there is a successful update, the text element seems to contain the status update I just sent. Should I examine the text element to verify that the update worked, instead of checking for HTTP error codes? Or was this just a temporary glitch today? All the best, /Martin

Can we pass geo tag in status or direct messages? Have not seen this in API but have heard there is or will be support for this. B-

[twitter-dev] Failed API returning over capacity HTML page content
I'm getting a bunch of exceptions logged tonight where the API is returning the actual html content for the Over capacity web page, instead of an error code. That isn't expected, is it? I would expect one of the 500 error codes. J.D.
