[twitter-dev] Re: Retweeting via the API does not show up in other's Home Timeline
I believe this is correct that basically if a message has already appeared in your or other people's timeline, then a retweet won't appear. It'll only appear in another user's timeline if they don't follow the original tweeter On Dec 11, 9:46 pm, hansamann sven.hai...@googlemail.com wrote: Hi all, I have switched the retweeting style of my app from using the RT @user text pattern to the new retweet API. If a logged in user on groovytweets.org now hits the green retweet buttons, it will fire off a retweet via the API. Unfortunately, the retweeted messages do not show up in that user's followers Home Timeline (the people following that user should get the retweet). From an API perspective, the request (via Twitter4J) is sent off and returns normally, no error in sight. The API method used ishttp://twitter.com/statuses/retweetand the statusId of the status who should be retweeted is sent wiht the requuest. Now if I understand the new home timeline correctly, this *might* not be an issue, in the following case: - if another user already had retweeted that status, it might have shown up in the follower's home time line earlier, meaning when I look onto the time line it might not be at the top. Is that understanding correct? I think retweeted statuses who already had been retweeted and 'received' by that user will not show up at the top again. Instead, the UI of twitter.com just adds the new retweeting user to the list of retweeted by for that status. This is of course potentially down in the stream of tweets, so the user might never see it (again). Or there is a bug :-) Either on my side or with twitter. What do you think? Cheers Sven

There are several significant changes in the TTYtter API, including a new multi-module system, changes to methods, and changes to recommended practices for state management. Some applications will need modification to run under 1.0.0, hence the beta to allow testing and development prior to a final release. If your application still requires 0.9.x in the interim, 0.9.10 is also available today as the stable branch, and 0.9 will be supported until a stable 1.0.0 is released. http://www.floodgap.com/software/ttytter/ http://www.floodgap.com/software/ttytter/beta/ -- personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- Dread each day as it comes. -- Donald Kaul -

[twitter-dev] Developer Preview: Contributor API
As you may have seen on our
bloghttp://blog.twitter.com/2009/12/feature-test-with-businesses.html,
we're starting a very small test of a new feature that will allow a Twitter
account to have multiple contributors. This is the first in a suite of
features that we'll be rolling out specifically targeted to the needs of
businesses, and this particular feature is going to allow a business to
invite employees and representatives to tweet, DM, follow users, etc., on
behalf of the account holder.
While this feature is not ready for prime-time, and while we're not yet
taking requests to be part of an early-access release while we work out the
kinks, we're really committed to keeping our developers in the loop. I want
to give you all a heads up on what is coming on the API side, and, for this
particular feature, I wanted to give you all a look at what we're calling
the Contributor API. The reason I want to really highlight these changes
is because we'll be making an addition to the status objects as this rolls
out.
We'll be introducing a new parameter called contributingto to most API
endpoints -- this parameter must be set to the user ID of the user that the
employee or representative wants to take the action on behalf of. If using
contributingto, then the caller must authenticate when calling and must use
OAuth. For example, if I, @raffi, wanted to tweet on behalf of @twitter (ID
783214), I would call /status/update.xml, I would attach a parameter of
contributingto=783214, and I would authenticate to that endpoint as myself
using OAuth. The API will confirm that @raffi has permission to contribute
to the @twitter account, and will error with a 403 if that account does not.
You can expect to see contributingto show up as an optional parameter to the
following endpoints (and presumably some more) when calling on
http://api.twitter.com/1:
/account/rate_limit_status
/account/update_profile
/account/update_profile_background_image
/account/update_profile_colors
/account/update_profile_image
/account/verify_credentials
/blocks/blocking
/blocks/blocking/ids
/blocks/create
/blocks/destroy
/blocks/exists
/direct_messages
/direct_messages/destroy
/direct_messages/new
/direct_messages/sent
/favorites
/favorites/create
/favorites/destroy
/followers/ids
/friends/ids
/friendships/create
/friendships/destroy
/friendships/exists
/report_spam
/saved_searches
/saved_searches/create
/saved_searches/destroy
/saved_searches/show
/statuses/destroy
/statuses/followers
/statuses/friends
/statuses/friends_timeline
/statuses/home_timeline
/statuses/mentions
/statuses/public_timeline
/statuses/retweet
/statuses/retweeted_by_me
/statuses/retweeted_to_me
/statuses/retweets
/statuses/retweets_of_me
/statuses/show
/statuses/update
/statuses/user_timeline
/users/show
Lastly, the status objects will include an additional parameter named
contributors that will have an user_id with the ID of the user who actually
created this status object. An example XML status would have
status
...
contributors
user_idID of the contributor/user_id
/contributors
...
/status
and in JSON
{
...
contributors : [ID of the contributor],
...
}
Due to caching, historical status objects may or may not contain the
contributors, but all status created after launch will.
Like I said, more details to come!

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Regarding the search API based on Geo location
I'll be interested to hear when the API adds functionality that'll
allow us to retrieve *only* tweets with a geopoint! Any hints?
soon :P
In the meantime; copyied from the first post, what is going on with
tweets like this? :
{
* location: iPhone: 37.313690,-122.022911
* geo: null
}
{
* location: ÜT: 37.293106,-121.969004
* geo: null
}
Presumably this is some developer-implemented work around from a
client that geotagged tweets before the geotagging API was available,
by setting the profile location (where it normally says London, UK
etc.) to co-ords?
If so, I will just ignore it, as these should in theory become less
and less common as developers update their apps to use the official
geotagging method, but I want to be sure that I'm not missing some
crucially geotagged tweets!
yeah - that's precisely what's happening. i'm not sure what the first
client is, but the second is ubertwitter. instead of sending geotweets,
they are simply setting the user's profile location. my hope is that people
will transition soon!

[twitter-dev] Re: Regarding the search API based on Geo location
Many people use UberTwitter from their phone and also tweet from the
web or a desktop client. UT updates the profile location with GPS data
but the browser doesn't. If the source of the tweet is UT chances are
the location is accurate, otherwise it's probably old. If you
desperately need to pin as many tweets on the map as possible you may
want to use this information for the time being.

Presumably this is some developer-implemented work around from a
client that geotagged tweets before the geotagging API was available,
by setting the profile location (where it normally says London, UK
etc.) to co-ords?
If so, I will just ignore it, as these should in theory become less
and less common as developers update their apps to use the official
geotagging method, but I want to be sure that I'm not missing some
crucially geotagged tweets!
[twitter-dev] Re: delete a tweet with twitterVB .net library API
Kelly, I'm the maintainer of the TwitterVB project. Thanks for trying TwitterVB! Your best bet for getting help with the TwitterVb library is to post in the TwitterVB discussion forum at the following URL: http://twittervb.codeplex.com/Thread/List.aspx To answer your question more specifically... 1. Call the UserTimeLine() method, using the TwitterParameters object to specify whose tweets you want to see and how many tweets you want to see. 2. Loop through the resulting List(Of TwitterStatus) and call the DeleteUpdate() method, massing in each Tweet ID that you wish to delete. Because the timelines do not reach back terribly far, it may not be possible to delete every ID that's older than one week. If that's what you want to accomplish, you may want to store the IDs of the tweets you post as you post them, along with the date. Then, you could just retrieve the appropriate IDs from that list. Hope this helps! --Duane On Dec 14, 7:48 pm, KellyP kelly.pear...@ct.gov wrote: I guess I should have been more specific. I saw the DeleteUpdate method which calls for an ID parameter to be passed in, but I don't know how to get the ID of a tweet, let alone all the IDs for tweets older than 1 week. I know if you hover over a tweet in twitter you can see the ID, but how do you get at it programmatically? Sorry if this a simple thing, I'm a newbie in regards to twitter and I can't seem to find any documentation or help on how to get the ID.

[twitter-dev] A way to send user to oAuth page with no user defined?
We'd like to use oAuth to add authorize additional accounts, but it gets hairy for users when it defaults to last used username. Is there a way to send oAuth users directly to the page that appears when sign out is clicked? So that they are prompted for the username and password for the account they want to authorize? Thanks in advance!
[twitter-dev] Re: Developer Preview: Contributor API
Hi Raffi,
Curious how the contributors will be associated? Will it essentially
be linking accounts? Presumably then the user would identify in an app
which account to post an update to based on those accounts they have
been associated as contributors to? So, a contribution would
originate from a separate Twitter account, let's say @Raffi and be
posted to @Twitter. The primary difference from what we're used to
with CoTweet for example, where you may have many authors with no
individual twitter accounts, this would all be based on having two or
more accounts (1 biz account linked to contributor accounts). Does
that make sense?

invite employees and representatives to tweet, DM, follow users, etc., on

While this feature is not ready for prime-time, and while we're not yet

particular feature, I wanted to give you all a look at what we're calling
the Contributor API. The reason I want to really highlight these changes
is because we'll be making an addition to the status objects as this rolls
out.
We'll be introducing a new parameter called contributingto to most API
endpoints -- this parameter must be set to the user ID of the user that the
employee or representative wants to take the action on behalf of. If using
contributingto, then the caller must authenticate when calling and must use
OAuth. For example, if I, @raffi, wanted to tweet on behalf of @twitter (ID
783214), I would call /status/update.xml, I would attach a parameter of
contributingto=783214, and I would authenticate to that endpoint as myself
using OAuth. The API will confirm that @raffi has permission to contribute
to the @twitter account, and will error with a 403 if that account does not.
You can expect to see contributingto show up as an optional parameter to the
following endpoints (and presumably some more) when calling
onhttp://api.twitter.com/1:
/account/rate_limit_status
/account/update_profile
/account/update_profile_background_image

[twitter-dev] Questions about opening the firehose
Last week at Le Web, Twitter's Platform Director, Ryan Sarver, announced that Twitter will be opening the firehose to all developers. As I recall, there were a number of reasons why Twitter kept the firehose restricted. Some of these were legal reasons. I'm starting to put together an action plan for 2010, and I'm really curious - what has changed legally since then that would allow Twitter to open the firehose to all developers? What legal agreements / licenses / contracts must a developer commit to in order to gain access to the firehose? -- M.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Developer Preview: Contributor API
hi zac.
we have not yet rectified this, but, as it currently stands, the
contributor (in the case of my example, @raffi) gets the deduction from
his or her rate limit.
to try to anticipate your next question, the account holder (@twitter) only
has a set number of people he or she can invite to contribute on behalf of
them. that number is not huge.
