[twitter-dev] Platform announcements from LeWeb

[Ryan Sarver]

Hey all,

Now that the dust has settled a bit and we are in the midst of the holidays
I wanted to email everyone and provide some more details on the
announcements we made a few weeks ago at LeWeb.

*50,000 apps*
We are continually amazed by all the incredible work the ecosystem does as a
whole and we proud that developers have created over 50,000 applications
that allow people to experience Twitter in so many different ways. We are
really looking forward to what 2010 has in store as we put more emphasis on
supporting the ecosystem better and maturing as a platform. We are humbled
by and appreciative all the hard work you do. Please continue to give us
feedback -- both good and bad -- on how we can support you better in your
efforts to build awesome apps.

*Auth announcements*
With the recent launches of Retweet, Lists and Geotagging we have seen
applications struggle to provide the experience they want for their users
within the 150 req/hr limit. We are excited to open the skies up a bit and
provide some more room for developers to work within. Starting in a few
weeks all OAuth requests to api.twitter.com/1/ will be able to take
advantage of a 10x rate limit increase. Basic Whitelisting still exists and
is unchanged. We look forward to what this means in terms of the increased
richness around the user experience in Twitter apps.

*Developer Site*
>From the beginning we have used a disparate set of tools to help support the
community -- from the apiwiki, to code.google.com for issues to this mailing
group. It was a great way to get started quickly with fairly robust tools,
but we need a place for developers to start from and help them find the
right answers to their questions and help them solve their problems. We have
announced a new Developer Site that begins to consolidate these
communications channels and tools into a single place while adding some new,
exciting tools to help developers. There will be new reference
documentation, search, API console, API status dashboard (external
monitoring service) and clearer documentation of policies. We are investing
heavily in this area and will continue to improve the tools and content for
the ecosystem to make sure that you have everything you need to get started
and for continued support. We are really interested in getting your feedback
on what will create a great site, so please let us know your wishlist of
things that will help you be a more informed and more efficient developer.

*Chirp - Twitter Developer Conference*
Personally one of the most exciting announcements is that we will be
throwing the first official Twitter Developer Conference which we are
calling Chirp. It will be a two day event focused on equipping developers
with all the tools they need to go forth and build great things. Day One
will be filled with speakers from Twitter and the ecosystem talking about a
broad range of topics like our roadmap, the Streaming API, how to develop
desktop applications, sentiment analysis, user research and more. At the end
of Day One we will kick off a 24-hour hack event with lots of great
announcements and surprises already lined up. We'll also be filling Day Two
with some workshops on specific topics for developers who want to dive deep
in certain areas. There are lots of great surprises in store for the event
and we hope to see lots of you there.

*Firehose for everyone*
Finally, the announcement that has garnered the most coverage and
excitement. As I stated in the session at LeWeb we are committed to
providing a framework for any company big or small, rich or poor to do a
deal with us to get access to the Firehose in the same way we did deals with
Google and Microsoft. We want everyone to have the opportunity -- terms will
vary based on a number of variables but we want a two-person startup in a
garage to have the same opportunity to build great things with the full feed
that someone with a billion dollar market cap does. There are still a lot of
details to be fleshed out and communicated, but this a top priority for us
and we look forward to what types of companies and products get built on top
of this unique and rich stream.

Sorry for the long-winded email, but there is lots of really exciting stuff
for us to be talking about. As always, we are very interested in getting
your feedback on the announcements and more generally on how we can continue
to improve how we work together. As I said a few times in the session, our
success is dependent on your success so please let us know what we can do to
help make you successful.

Happy holidays, Ryan

Re: [twitter-dev] Streaming API

[John Kalucki]

All Twitter accounts have access to the Spritzer access level on
/1/statues/sample.format. The Gardenhose rate increases the flow on that
same resource by about three times. You have to agree to a EULA. Email
a...@twitter.com to get started.

[twitter-dev] Re: Get GEO information in an standard format?

[DomingoSL]

ok you wrote it, and maybe around Caracas there is no body using the
geo API, but i have my application listening for about one hour the
twitts near New York who have a very active twitter comunity (http://
search.twitter.com/search.atom?
geocode=40.75604%2C-73.986941%2C50.0km&q=+near%3A%22New+York%2C+NY
%22+within%3A50km)  and in one hour no entry have populated the tag
you mentioned. My application roed about 10 twitts in that time
whitout seeing information in the tag 

Only information in , which as i said has an non
constant shape. Thanks again for you fast answers.

[twitter-dev] Re: Social Graph API: Legacy data format will be eliminated 1/11/2010

[Dewald Pretorius]

What is being deprecated here is the old pagination method with the
&page parameter.

As noted earlier, it is going to cause great pain if the API is going
to assume a cursor of -1 if no cursor is specified, and hence enforce
the use of cursors regardless of the size of the social graph.

The API is currently comfortably returning social graphs smaller than
200,000 members in one call. I very rarely get a 502 on social graphs
of that size. It makes no sense to force us to make 40 API where 1 API
call currently suffices and works. Those 40 API calls take between 40
and 80 seconds to complete, as opposed to 1 to 2 seconds for the
single API call. Multiply that by a few thousand Twitter accounts, and
it adds hours of additional processing time, which is completely
unnecessary, and will make getting through a large number of accounts
virtually impossible.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Get GEO information in an standard format?

[Raffi Krikorian]

considering i wrote that code, i'm pretty sure :P

i would postulate that there are nobody sending geotweets (tweets using the
geotagging API) near caracas.  i suggest you send a geotweet (see
http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-statuses%C2%A0update),
and then do a search for yourself - you should then see that tag populated.

Sure??? Do this query:
http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?geocode=10.49605%2C-66.898277%2C25.0km&q=+near%3A%22Caracas%2C+Venezuela%22+within%3A25km

And you will see that all the  tags are empty...

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: oAuth Authenticate vs. Authorize (force_login)

[Abraham Williams]

Then use authenticate. It accomplishes the same effect of authorize.

note the  tags - this particular tweet was not sent using the

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Social Graph API: Legacy data format will be eliminated 1/11/2010

[Zac Bowling]

I agree with the others to some extent. Although its a good signal to stop
using something ASAP when something is depreciated, saying depreciated and
not giving definite time-line on it's removal isn't good either. (Source
params are deprecated but still work and don't have solid deprecation date,
and I'm still going on using them because OAuth sucks for desktop/mobile
situations still and would die with a 15 day heads up on removal).

Also iPhone app devs using this API will would probably have a hard time
squeezing a 15 day return on Apple right now.

[twitter-dev] Re: oAuth Authenticate vs. Authorize (force_login)

[Justyn]

Thanks Abraham - I understand this is the current limitation, however
I think there is a need for the foce_login to be available with the
authorize function. The authorize landing page is confusing to users
who want to sign-in with an account that is different from their
latest session. The "sign-out" option is not obvious to users. This is
based on user feedback, and I don't think we're the only ones having
this issue.

[twitter-dev] Re: Social Graph API: Legacy data format will be eliminated 1/11/2010

[Dewald Pretorius]

I agree 100%.

Calls without the starting cursor of -1 must still return all
followers as is currently the case.

As a test I've set my system to use cursors on all calls. It inflates
the processing time so much that things become completely unworkable.

We can programmatically use cursors if showuser says that the person
has more than a certain number of friends/followers. That's what I'm
currently doing, and it works beautifully. So, please do not force us
to use cursors on all calls.

Re: [twitter-dev] Get GEO information in an standard format?

[Raffi Krikorian]

any tweet that is sent using the geotagging API has the "geo" element
populated with either GeoRSS or GeoJSON.  those locations that you are
parsing are coming from the user's profile location, which is a free form
string.

If you request /statuses/followers
(http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-statuses
followers) you'll get a list of followers, their names and their last
status/tweet.

[twitter-dev] How can I retrieve a list of my Twitter's followers name?

[humbucker]

Hi,

I'm creating a little app that would display only the tweets of my
followers, and so, I would be interested to know if I can retrieve a
list, an xml, or a file with the alias/name of my followers to
evaluate them prior to displaying their tweets ?

The other solution would be to manually encode an array of my
followers...but well, it would be...boring lol.

Many many thanks

100% operative for GET access, no for POST (the same rutine) attached

Something is technically wrong Response 500

My sites are www.quenota.us / www.quenota.com

When I remove the status (text to send) i receive a response saying
everything is ok but for status/update i need to send a parameter, so
it looks like
the oauth is ok, the same when i change something in the signature ...
so it looks something in your side.

Thanks, if you need more let me know

[twitter-dev] Re: How to retrieve url link written in a tweet please?

[Tim Acheson]

Example of C# code for ASP.NET:

new Regex(@"https?://([-\w\.]+)+(:\d+)?(/([\w/_\.]*(\?\S+)?)?)?").Match
(tweetText)

I strongly reccomend the open source Linq2Twitter library for
obtaining data from Twitter in .NET applications.

I use LInq2Twitter to put my tweets on my personal homepage:-

http://www.timacheson.com/#twitter

The server-side approach has several advantages, e.g. it will be
indexed by Google and can be seamlessly cached by the built-in caching
in ASP.NET for optimal performance.

Hi, i'd like to use force_login too in my new Rails application. This

[twitter-dev] Get GEO information in an standard format?

[DomingoSL]

Sorry about my English. I've recently been trying to put a map showing
the location of the last twitts made in my search, but when I get the
label , this contains information on numerous
formats, including:

1 - UT: 40.816393, -73.866493
2 - New York
3 - Harlem, NY
4 - UT: 10.314951, -68.08583

and so ... I need to know if there is any way to obtain this
information in a more easy to read, for example:

 23.12232  and so ...

I do not want to develop a complex algorithm to interpret simply data
as are the coordinates. Any Idea? THANKS!!

[twitter-dev] Re: How to display #hashtag of followers only ?

[humbucker]

Hi Raffi,

Thanks a lto for this answer, honestly this sounds too hard to code
for me as I'm more a designer than a coder, but I do understand the
logic behind this process.
I had other answers too, telling me that maybe in the future twitpic
servers will have the same API possibilities that Twitter, with
possibilities to search directly in Twipic, which would ofcourse be
easier.

Anyway that would be good to see something like that in development.

have a nice day!

[twitter-dev] Full size profile images using Twitter API

[Wasif]

Hi,

The image returned in the profile_image_url key in the
http://twitter.com/users/show/bob.json is a thumbnail sized image. I
am looking for the actual image which the user has uploaded. I did
some googling but was not able to find an answer to that.

I would be really grateful if someone can help me out here.

Did you register an application with Twitter? http://twitter.com/apps

I find it unlikely that you would get a consumer key of "vernie29a".

No. You have to make a call for each user and merge them on your own side.

Alternatively you can use the Streaming API:

[twitter-dev] Streaming API

[Arunachalam]

Hi,

The webpage http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Streaming-API-Documentation specifies
"The "*Gardenhose*" access level provides a proportion more suitable for *data
mining and research applications* that desire a larger proportion to be
statistically significant sample".

Please let me know how to get the access for the Gardenhose API and also
usage of gradenhose feeds which is not mentioned in that webpage.

Is it possible to access the Gradenhose API after getting the access rights
using  http://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/gradenhose.json* ?

Arunachalam
