It sounds like the followers/following ratio constraint...

Thanx, I think the issue exists because I am using the page parameter

It sees whatever IP address the server is making the outgoing http request
with.  You should be able to test this from the command line, on the server,

[twitter-dev] Re: Track streaming : how to match tweets?

[Julien]

Thanks Mark, but as I said, we need to fetch more complex feeds to. So
we'll use the OR with the simple query, and then query the search API
with the complex query to see if a given tweet matches what we need!

Yeah, I limit the number of tweet I ping back per user in a period of
time (like 20 at most but i could lower the number), so such loop will
at least won't be too much of hurt.

I also remove URLs for not having spamers using the bot to spread
links. I'm thinking about replying to DMs too, can be useful.

[twitter-dev] Re: statuses/friends issue?

Are you using "page" parameter? If so, it was recently deprecated, so
that would explain what you are seeing... the first page over and over
again. Check the API documentation to see how to use the "cursor"
parameter.

I am seeing the same issue. In my case, the first four iterations work
(i.e. I retrieve 400 users), but the next call gives me a 404.

Hi Raffi, I read on a blog somewhere that the recurring tweets (which

allowed i.e. the logic that rejects them will no longer be active.
>From what you say this is unlikely to happen.

The reason I am so interested in this particular test is that I had
been working on a twitter bot that allows you to play the orginal
Colossal Cave text adventure and the user would use a lot of tweets
with text like N, S, E, W etc to indicate a direction to move in (I

[twitter-dev] Dedicated IP Whitelist

[Jesse Bunch]

Hi,

I am on a shared web hosting space, but my domain has a dedicated IP
on the server. Am I correct in saying that the twitter API sees the
dedicated IP address instead of the shared IP address that the server
has? I have been trying very hard to get a twitter API script running
but I get nothing but blank responses from twitter. This makes me
think that my IP has been blacklisted which makes sense if its seeing
the shared IP address that some spammer used to screw things up for
me. I have submitted my dedicated IP to twitter for whitelisting and
they did approve my request, but nothing has changed. Still a blank
response via cURL in PHP. This is a bit frustrating so any advice you
can give me would be much appreciated.

Re: [twitter-dev] Looking for a simple Open Source Client - for Site Customer Support

[John Meyer]

People have made their own suggestions, so I'm not going to mirror 
them.  I would suggest, however, that customer to business communication 
probably would be better conducted on a forum other than twitter (people 
who are trying to describe problems they are having aren't at their most 
succinct and you usually need more information than 140 characters 
provides).  Now business-to-customer maybe, but it would probably be 
better in the form of tweeting the customer a shortlink.

Hi Fabien,

Just a thought in case you haven't considered it: be careful not to

you echo such keywords, either maliciously or by accident.

Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter REST API Method: favorites

[Raffi Krikorian]

that seems to be a deficiency in the format we chose to notate whether
the endpoint requires authentication.

if you are calling

api.twitter.com/1/favorites/raffi.json

for example, then you don't need to authenticate because my favorites
are public.  however, if you were to call

api.twitter.com/1/favorites.json

then authentication is required so we know "who you are".  in
addition, authentication may also be required depending on whether the
user you are requesting from is protected.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: How to build a form to Login into Twitter?

[Abraham Williams]

Can you clarify what you mean by login into Twitter?

If you are want to use the API to interact with Twitter on behalf of the
user my OAuth example is a good place to start.

If you want to be able to log users into the Twitter website from your site
I don't think there is any way to do that without really dirty hacks that
are likely to break.

Re: [twitter-dev] unexpected update status behavior when "RT..." text included

[Raffi Krikorian]

i think that's precisely it.  the twitter API follows (mostly) the
same commands that are available over SMS.  if you send a tweet that
starts with "RT", then the API will assume you are attempting to do a
native RT.

[twitter-dev] 404 Errors on friends and followers using cursors

If you get the following URLs and continue to using the next_cursor,
you receive incorrect 404s:

If it's first position in a line, it's probably being seen as an SMS
command (there is an RT SMS command).

we currently reject tweets that have an exact string match to any

i'm not sure what you mean by "allowed to re-occur at some point
soon".  i don't think we're going to change the logic around duplicate
tweets, but what we are working on is better error messaging when we
reject a tweet.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: How to detect 'Duplicate text' failure to send tweet

[Raffi Krikorian]

oh - i apologise, i think i misunderstood your question.

yes - if you send a duplicate tweet while using the twitter.com
website, we put up an error on the web page.  however, if you send a
duplicate tweet through our API, we will silently fail and return a
200 response.

i'm not positive what you are saying when you say "If I use Tweet# and
do the same...", but i suspect it falls into the latter of what i
said.

When updating statuses with the text "RT..." included, unexpected
things happen.

[twitter-dev] Re: How to detect 'Duplicate text' failure to send tweet

[Stuart Smith]

Hi Abraham, so I should keep a list of all of the tweets I send and
check the id of each and every status I send to see if it matches a
previously sent id? That's quite a lot of additional processing.

Does this 'duplicate text' have a time period for which it is invalid?
i.e. how long do I have to wait before sending the same text?

Is this what I have heard called 'recurring tweets'? If so, I read
somewhere that they are going to be allowed to re-occur at some point
soon - is this correct?

Cheers,

[twitter-dev] enablert option for statuses/user_timeline

[Cameron Kaiser]

Any thought given to adding an 'enable_rt' argument or somesuch to methods
like statuses/user_timeline? I understand and completely agree with not
putting newRTs in those timelines by default, but integrating two calls to
make a complete timeline is not ideal.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: How to detect 'Duplicate text' failure to send tweet

[Abraham Williams]

When you create a status you get a 200 response and the current user/status
object which includes the status id. If you try to create a duplicate status
it should return the same status object with a status id that matches the
previous one.

Sure, but I think their coverage is somewhat scarce? Yahoo Fireeagle
seems to support cellid, but I don't think is workable to ask users to
signup for Fireeagle. Then there is http://www.navizon.com/ but it's
too expensive for me at this stage.

[twitter-dev] Re: How to detect 'Duplicate text' failure to send tweet

[Stuart Smith]

Hi Raffi, thanks for the reply but I'm still unsure of the process.

If I send a tweet with the same text more than once via twitter.com I
get a pop-upm saying to try some other text as I've sent that text
before and the tweet is not created so there is no id.

If I use Tweet# and do the same I get a 200 OK response which suggests
that the tweet was created but it never gets sent to the recipient and
again I have no id.

Can you explain a bit more.

Cheers,

Re: [twitter-dev] How to detect 'Duplicate text' failure to send tweet

[Raffi Krikorian]

Currently, we recommend people look at the tweet ID and just  
"remember" it. It is on the short list to get an appropriate error  
code returned if we reject a tweetx

Re: [twitter-dev] Mobile geolocation and cellid

If you are making request to the Twitter API you should be able to make
request to OpenCelID to get an approximate lat/lon location.

It is not possible with the Twitter API. But why not have your application
simply do the filtering up to a certain count?

Thanks for reply! I would be nice if you'd have considered adding something
like that in the future - iPhones and such are nice, but there are
plenty more users with simplier phones that don't have GPS.

[twitter-dev] Re: After a re-retweet, I don't get an error, I successfully retweeted some random Turkish guy instead.

[Kevin]

Hi,

It's great the problem has been identified and fixed.

However, the API response shows "errors" instead of the regular
"error", and the sentence "Share sharing is not permissable for this
status" should be "permissIble".

Not urgent, but I hope it will be fixed one day :-)

[twitter-dev] Rate Limit & New API Features

[Nik Fletcher]

Hi Twitter API folks,

Over the last few months, there's been some big new features to the
API to match the Twitter.com feature set. Whilst that's awesome for
third-party developers and users alike, the rate limit has remained
the same. Looking back over the documentation, the last increase was
in June of this year, from 100 requests per 60 minute window to 150
requests - long before the lists or retweet features became available.

Whilst I'm *fully* aware that we (as a developer community) can
minimise the number of calls to the API, with new features being added
- and the related query-chaining that may be needed to provide folks
with an experience such as they're used to on the Twitter Web site
with the bells and whistles - are there any plans to increase the rate
limit for applications?

I should just add: this is in no way a whiny post at the rate limiting
that's currently in effect. We're not hearing of Socialite hitting the
rate limit a great deal (as we're deliberately refreshing Lists every
third refresh to preserve API calls) - I'm just posting to see what
the Twitter API team's thoughts are :)

Cheers,

Nik

So here it goes http://twitter.com/pingpongbot using the streaming
