[twitter-dev] Re: Deleting a Retweeted Tweet

[Josh Roesslein]

Now does this deletion occur recursively including retweets of retweets?
Let's say Bob retweets John and Mike retweets Bob's retweets. Will
Both John and Mike retweets
be deleted if John original tweet is deleted or just Bob retweet?

I'm not sure I like the idea of the delete of retweets if the original
tweet is deleted.
Unless there is a good reason for doing so (the tweet is spreading a
bad link that causes harm, etc)
the retweets should be treated as a regular tweet and left alone.

Of course. That brings us back to the whole question of what purpose the new
retweet system serves if the old manual system will still suffice ;-)

I think that's the point. They can always just do a manual "re"tweet of a
tweet. People aren't given the "undo" button for rumors and leaked info in
real life, but we're not in real life :D

Wait, so they actually got away with forcing you to change your domain? Or

[twitter-dev] Re: Are account suspensions permanent?

[Adam Cloud]

I had an experience that took over 4 months of back and forth, forth being
me, back being them marking my ticket as taken care of without doing
anything. I finally just created a new account, changed the name of the old
one and used that name for the new one.

Had another experience where the account was fixed after two unanswered
tickets without a word said to the person.

So you may have a few days, a week, a few months, maybe forever of being
suspended without getting an actual account banning.

Twitter may have excellent interaction with their 3rd-party developers, but
their customer service blows.

[twitter-dev] Re: Update on the Retweet API (we collapse retweets, not you & we're adding statuses/retweets)

[John Kalucki]

Retweet aggregators should use the Streaming API /1/statuses/sample
method to gather a sample of Retweets or apply for the full Retweet
stream on /1/statuses/retweet.

The Streaming API may be in Alpha, but the service has been very
reliable.

I'm unaware of any technical issues that would block a reasonably
proficient service developer on a reasonable stack from integrating
Streaming API results in fairly short order. I'm sure there are
examples of byzantine stacks upon which this isn't true, but
workarounds can be found.

[twitter-dev] Re: Update on the Retweet API (we collapse retweets, not you & we're adding statuses/retweets)

[hansamann]

I am still hoping for an answer to the questions in this thread, but
meanwhile here is another idea the Twitter Team might find
interesting.

As it seems many of us want to track retweets. What we are really
interested in is the number of retweets over time so we can find
trending topics, in my case within a community (e.g. not for public
timeline tweets, just for the tweets among my friends). So: why not
have a method that is capable of returning several retweet counts?

So what if statuses/retweets would either accept *just a single id* in
which case the behaviour is as currently described, or *many ids* in
which case the response is a summary for many statusIds. The summary
should contain the usernames that retweeted the original ids and the
retweet counts at least.

If the API is left as it is,  guess a lot of us will need to get
whitelisted. Excessively calling status/retweets for single tweets
cannot be the intention of Twitter. Also many retweet aggregators will
really be in trouble (unless they use the streaming apis, but those
again are alpha and some cannot use them for technical reasons) as the
twitter accounts of their users are not whitelisted and as such
constraint to 150 API calls.

Come on, would anyone at least consider that or let us know best
practices for tracking retweets after the api is launched?

Cheers
Sven

[Joseph Cheek]

You probably *could* use curl with OAuth, but it's not for the faint of
heart.  It would require gads of programming and as much as I like
command-line apps, I don't think I'll be doing it in the near future
myself.  I suggest using another language for which there are ready-made
OAuth libs available (almost any other language, actually).

Thank you very much for your kind reply.

I have registered my application in twitter and got some keys. I'm new to
programming would like to know how to implement OAuth. I have read its
documents, and i understood it's a kind of authorization. Is it done by
appending a special parameter to cURL ?

[twitter-dev] Re: OAuth /statuses/update.xml returns 401 Invalid/Expired Token

[adam]

Hi JDG,

Thanks for the suggestion, I just tried that and got the same
response.  As I said though, the strange thing is that the same oauth
values in php generates a nearly identical http request but it works.
There should be no difference in what language is used so I am
confused there.

Chad,

I posted the entire request in the OP above, here is the response I
get:

[twitter-dev] Re: OAuth /statuses/update.xml returns 401 Invalid/Expired Token

[JDG]

http://oauth.net/core/1.0a#auth_header

According to the OAuth spec, values in the Authorization header:

For each parameter, the name is immediately followed by an '=' character
(ASCII code 61), a '"' character (ASCII code 34), the parameter value (MAY
be empty), and another '"' character (ASCII code 34).

You need to quote your parameter values.

about twitter mashup

Only after it is approved it is possible to implement the OAuth?

Thanks!

[twitter-dev] OAuth /statuses/update.xml returns 401 Invalid/Expired Token

[adam]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to update from basic auth to oauth.  basic auth works fine
but my oauth returns error 401 invalid/expired token.  I know my token
is valid and the time on my computer is correct.  A co-worker was able
to get the call working in php using the same token and key.  our base
strings are the same and our http request is the same (with the
expected variances such as timestamp and nonce), his works and mine
does not.  I created my own oauth code in c# and it is working fine
for six other oauth sites.

Here is the http request:

Hello,

It would help to know your username and the status ID in question.

Hi Waldron,

Account suspensions can be lifted if the transgressions are cleared up.

[twitter-dev] Text Source. How can I change this?

[shapper]

Hello,

I am using a C# library to publish in my Twitter account from my CMS.
The problem is that the source in my twitter text is the name of this
library.

How can I change this?

I think there is a new authentication method that allows it ... But do
I need to open some type of account?

Thank You,
Miguel

[twitter-dev] Re: status/show request help

[Dude]

Hello,

I'm new to the Twitter API/REST API, so please bear with me.
Currently, I'm trying to get an XML file of my current Twitter status;
looking at the API, it looks like the request should be of the format
http://twitter.com/statuses/show/.. I've tried this with
the correct id and format in both curl and a native browser; both say
the id isn't found. There's no authentication for this request
required by the API, and I've double-checked to make sure my ID is
correct. Here's the output:

http://twitter.com/statuses/show/.xml



  /statuses/show/.xml
  No status found with that ID.


I've tried using the same request with other ID's - an xml file of
their statuses will show up, but not mine. Does anyone have any idea
of what's happening/where I've gone wrong? Thanks for your help in
advance.

[JDG]

You can't. You *must* use OAuth to change the source parameter, which
precludes using cURL.

Internets. Serious business.

[twitter-dev] Re: Will there be a Geolocation status method?

[Raffi Krikorian]

hi tom.

if there is geo data, then the "near parameter" will be using that.   
if not, then it will use the location in the user's profile.


does that help?


Thanks. Am I correctly understanding that the near parameter uses the
location of the users profile and will not use the new geolocation api
lat/long data?

It is very unlikely that we would offer a publicly available method  
on

the streaming API that returned all geotagged statuses. It is much
more likely that we'll offer a parameter to the /1/statuses/filter
method that would be subject to the same limitations as the track
keyword. Such a feature is unscheduled. I wouldn't guess as to when
we'll get to such an implementation.

In the mean time, the Search API offers the near: parameter.

-John Kaluckihttp://twitter.com/jkalucki

 I want to filter the firehouse to a subset of tweets that will have
valid geodata (lat/long).



hi tom.
what are you exactly asking?  you can look at any of the timeline  
methods --
wherever there will be  object, there will be geo  
information if

there is geo information available.



does that help?


Something like statuses/geolocation that returns public statuses  
with

geolocation data? Thanks.

[twitter-dev] Twitter API: I keep hitting 502 status codes on /statuses/user_timeline

[kovshenin]

Hey there.

Everything was working fine until I got hit by loads of traffic from a
post on Mashable. I started to get way too much 502 errors for the /
statuses/user_timeline method. The API docs say 502 means "Twitter is
down" but Twitter is fine and this has been going on for three days
now.

I have a developer account with 20,000 signed API calls, I output in a
debug log the current limit status plus the error code received. I
haven't gone lower than 16,000 calls left with 502 errors all around.
When applying for a dev account at Twitter I didn't mention my IP
address so I thought it was the problem, but since the API calls are
signed I don't think so.

I double checked with a simple unsigned cURL call from the server, and
get the following response for my IP address: 149/150 and it hasn't
got any lower than that.

Anybody had similar problems?

Thank you,
~ @kovshenin
