[twitter-dev] Re: How to monitor our brand by Streaming API

[M. Edward (Ed) Borasky]

I haven't found such widgets to be much of a traffic getter or traffic
keeper. I'm in the process of pulling them off my web sites. I put
them up originally for specific purposes - during the openSUSE 11.2
beta cycle, I had one monitoring for mentions of openSUSE, during the
30 Hour Day telethon I had them up for that, etc. But it's easy to do.

[twitter-dev] hurl.it is curl for the browser

[Chad Etzel]

Hi all,

I stumbled upon this tonight (tho apparently it's been out a while),
but I thought it would benefit lots of devs.

http://hurl.it/ is basically a curl client for the browser, but you
can also copy permalinks of your HTTP requests so others can see... a
nice thing to be able to do if you are trying to debug an HTTP request
and share the results with other people (such as this list)...

think of it as curl + pastebin i guess.

Anyway, thought I'd share...

RE: [twitter-dev] How to monitor our brand by Streaming API

[Ken Dobruskin]

Peter, just to expand on your remark, it should be straightforward to integrate 
a twitter-api search thingy into the Wordpress workflow or that of other 
similar CMS, to provide some control over content published on a corporate 
website. By all means publish the social content, just weed out the irrelevant, 
silly or gnarly stuff.

Its pretty easy to build a widget, from fetching the results, parsing them, and 
presenting them, twitter makes it easy to do. 

With all that extra time, your developers should be able to find global stop 
lists of words that prevent displays of harassing/vulgar/racist language and 
continue to add rules as you go to create a content stream that works for your 
company. 


Don't get me wrong, Ken's points are very valid, however, I personally feel if 
you have a company people talk about, show other people this content. 1 page of 
perfectly written marketing isn't going to reach me as much as 10 tweets

Re: [twitter-dev] Streaming API tweets delayed by ~20 minutes

[John Kalucki]

We have extensive monitoring on all streams and graph the worst case latency
for every server in several ways, from several locations. If latency
increases just slightly, alarms go off.

I think you must be looking at something else. Try this:

In one window:
curl -s 
stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.xml\?track=g8buzz,bears,tourism,sandro,jetsday,haiti,vinb,victorytulsa,lakers,mavericks,pens,mavs,relativesinhaiti,flames,penguins
-uUSER:PASS | egrep '^  '

In another window:
echo "while 1;date;sleep 1;end" | tcsh


You'll see the tweet created_at time match your system clock, assuming you
are running ntp, sufficient bandwidth, and there isn't some momentary
operational hiccup.

I think you are looking at retweets or something similar.

I'm using the streaming API /track function. The tweets coming in
right now are delayed about 20 minutes (i.e. if I go to the tweet
permalink the moment I get a tweet, it says "22 minutes ago", etc).
Is this an effect of "Track Limiting" (http://apiwiki.twitter.com/

With all that extra time, your developers should be able to find global stop

Hi,

I don't know anything about Wordpress or plugins, but is there any moderation 
workflow built into these widgets? I just had to cringe at the silly results 
produced by the indiscriminate use of a twitter search feed by one colleague 
from a highly respectable international organisation. It's not a matter of 
censoring negative remarks about your brand - evidently you are prepared for 
that. But what happens when someone says something really, really dumb, vulgar 
or racist involving your searchterm? Can you handle all the world's languages? 
It could be a fun opportunity for spammers or competitors! Even assuming that 
your brandname is universally unambiguous and could only ever refer to your 
business, you may be in for a case of 'irrelevant automated content syndrome'.

Have fun!

Re: [twitter-dev] Relationship between Gardenhose and Track vs Search API

[Mark McBride]

Check out the filter URL on the streaming API.  It will return up to N
tweets a minute, where N is the amount you'd get from a sampled
stream.  However it only returns tweets that match track keywords.
Provided the number of filtered tweets is never above the sampled
amount, you won't get limited.

Let's take a hypothetical example.  Using gardenhose you're throttled
at 100 tweets a minute (not the real number).  You track the keyword
"twitter".  During the first minute there are 50 matches.  You get all
50.  During the second minute there are 150 tweets about twitter.
You'll get 100 tweets, and a limit message saying there were 50 more
you missed due to throttling.  Does this make sense?

[twitter-dev] Re: Reinstate 'from app' for Basic Auth desktop apps until OAuth is fixed

[Proxdeveloper]

As an User Experience designer, It is more complicated for first time
users as the process
is longer, I mean think about it what's more simple than open the app,
enter username/password
Done!, rather than open the app, go to twitter, sign in, copy pin,
paste pin, Done!, I believe the fewer
steps in the process is better.

I think there's no point for this OAuth method, there are thousands of
apps out there using the basic
Auth system.

[twitter-dev] Twitter Oauth Issues

[Proxdeveloper]

Hello folks, I'm developing a twitter desktop client for windows using
the Oauth method, but for some reason I'm getting this error while
requesting an Access token "The remote server returned an error: (401)
Unauthorized.".

This issue is only happening in my development PC, I've tried the app
in other computers and Internet Connections and it works great, I'm
guessing this is happening because I make too much requests to twitter
from the same computer.

Could anyone help me on this issue ?
Thanks.

[twitter-dev] Relationship between Gardenhose and Track vs Search API

[Ross Bates]

I'm reading the streaming API documentation and have a question about
track keywords. A set of keywords can be used to filter the gardenhose
but it doesn't actually increase your chance of getting tweets that
would not have been included in the unfiltered stream. The gardenhose
is a sample of the firehose and returns the same results to all
clients - correct?

If this is the case then for applications that need all data for
specific keywords I would think the search API remains the better
option? For example, if I needed all tweets that contained the words
foo OR bar the gardenhose can't guarantee I will get 100%.

What's confusing me is the email which went out the other day about
the streaming API. First the statement about polling for keywords:

"If your application polls for keywords, mentions, is whitelisted on
the
Search API, or makes more than perhaps 10 queries per minute, you
should
begin your migration to Streaming. Desktop clients should postpone a
migration to Streaming."

Then later in the email:

"Complete corpus search: Search is focused on result set quality and
there are no guarantees to return all matching tweets. Complete
results
are only available on the Streaming API. Search results are
increasingly
filtered and reordered for relevance."

This second statement differs from the streaming API documentation
which says that the streaming API is sampled.

Does the rollout of the streaming API to the general public mean that
results are no longer sampled?

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter Profile Widget RateLimit

[joshnesbitt]

To me it sounds like a setup that you could do with a centralised data
source.

I would be tempted to build some sort of Twitter proxy service which
all your requests go through. You could mimic the Twitter API however
yours could including a caching mechanism which would support all of
your other sites. If you mimic the API correctly you wont have to
change any of your existing codebase except the hostname that you are
making the call to.

However if you think the widget might work then maybe run a few tests
that way, it is by far the simplest option and i have found it to work
great for smaller client projects. Twitter support are always good to
iron out any vagueness to the API restrictions in place, you might be
best filing a support ticket.

Not sure I agree with twitter discission to give the current
applications a break, yet force new apps to conform. Come on its been
like 6 months, pull the plug already and stop babying these old apps.
So new apps should have to deal with the headaches, while these guys
get to sit back and relax until things cool down?? Heh.

That's a pretty lame excuse. Desktop apps using oauth are just as
susceptible to this as basic apps. You must distribute your consumer
credentials with the app. A hacker can strip these and use them for
forging. So OAuth provides no protection there.
Only safety to be had with oauth is with server based apps that can
keep their credentials safe.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Reinstate 'from app' for Basic Auth desktop apps until OAuth is fixed

[ryan alford]

I agree.  I believe OAuth for mobile and the delegation between apps are the
biggest concerns that need to be addressed before the depreciation of basic
oauth in June.  Both of these have been beaten to a pulp.  However, these
issues certainly do not push OAuth into an unstable beta state that couldn't
be used in production apps.

It seems to be stable here. I've ported all my desktop apps to oAuth
without any problems. I've said this before, but I'll repeat it - I
don't see why people are complaining about the desktop "PIN workflow".

I've been using OAuth for more than 3 months now, about 8 hours a day during
the week while at work, using my own library and my own twitter client.
 I've never had an issue with stability.  Now the desktop implementation is
crappy(been posted about 50 billion times), but other than that, I've never
run into issues with OAuth.

Now I don't use search or streaming, though I don't even know if those use
OAuth.

Is there a specific stability issue?

[twitter-dev] Re: Reinstate 'from app' for Basic Auth desktop apps until OAuth is fixed

[Dewald Pretorius]

Raffi,

As I have noted before, the reliability of OAuth is an actual concern.
Also the availability of that easy one-time migration method (getting
the OAuth stuff when you have the username and password).

Twitter OAuth is still in beta. Ryan said that migration to OAuth will
become mandatory this year. That cannot be done until you move Twitter
OAuth into stable production mode. If you do not have the necessary
confidence in your OAuth implementation to do that, then you cannot
force anyone to use it.

Re: [twitter-dev] Question about "Twitter" use in library names

[DeWitt Clinton]

That's great news.  Thank you, Ryan.

How about terms like "tweet" and "retweet"?  Or more generally, any word on
the questions raised in the "Question about licensing" thread?


http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/9f90046f6469fb7b/954f6dc75e00e992

In particular, it would be great to get clarification in writing on
twitter.com -- not sure if your mail here is binding :) -- about the terms
for acceptable trademark usage, copyright claims, and patent claims, for
third party libraries and third party implementations of the Twitter API.

I fully understand that these are difficult questions, and certainly
appreciate the effort it takes to get all the legal concerns addressed.
 Thanks again for chasing these down!

[M. Edward (Ed) Borasky]

Hmmm ... there are search widgets you can get lots of places. I have
some from HootSuite on my WordPress sites. What you can do is

1. Get a HootSuite account
2. Create a Search column with the keywords for the brand
3. In the upper right, there's a "<>" button. Press that and you'll
see some HTML / Javascript code.
4. Go into your WordPress dashboard, create a Text widget. Paste the
HTML into the widget and put the widget on your blog and you're done!

I know there are many more ways to do this, but this is the one I've
used. If you don't mind paying for it, you can get "white label"
widgets without any external branding.

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter Profile Widget RateLimit

[Jason King]

Hi Josh,

Thank you for getting back to me.
I am currently at the stage of evaluating the best approach to use.

My level of transactions per second (tps) and data staleness
requirements may well push me over the whitelisted call rate at times
(2 per hour / 5.5tps ) even with caching. Some pages are much more
popular than others, so caching will help me to some extent.
I could build a server side service / caching layer and limit the
number of calls to 2 per hour.

I have seperate instances of my website in Europe and North America
also - so single connection limit per account limitation rules out the
streaming API and it also makes it hard to know the global number of
API calls my website is making at a given time.

I like the attraction of deploying the twitter widget, as the calls
then come from the users browsers and no limit appears to apply. But,
with this solution there would be 0 caching.

I want to be a good citizen, and am happy to eliminate the twitter
widget if I have to, but it is quite an attractive approach for me.

Thanks
Jason

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter Profile Widget RateLimit

[Jason King]

Hi Josh,

Thank you for getting back to me.
If I was to provide a widget myself and make API calls, I would
certainly be above the 2 calls per hour (5.5tps).
I would therefore have to implement a caching layer.

Added complexity comes from the fact that there are several instances
of the web site, for example in North America and Europe.
This makes it dificult to determine the number of API calls made
during any given hour.

The twitter widget looks like it provides a nice solution as no
authenticated api calls are introduced, and requests come from the end
user's browser.

I want to be a good citizen, so it would be good to be able to
eliminate the widget from my investigation or use it with confidence.

Thank you
Jason King

Obviously they've been grandfathered in, but you haven't addressed the
fact that the policy makes no sense and simply hurts developers and
users who are using the *only system that currently fully works*.

It's clearly a policy intended to coerce devs into Twitter's
incomplete OAuth implementation for the sole benefit of Twitter, Inc.

I can see this is going no where and says a lot about how Twitter
operates now.

Hi Jason,

As far as im aware the widget does not actually get rate limited, i'm
sure i read somewhere that this was not included in the normal rate
limit (but don't quote me on that).

The best way is to use an effecting caching technique. If you cache
the content every x minutes you should be covered if a certain page
was to get hammered.

What is the context of your application and have you considered white
listing if you really need to be using the API for every request?

Re: [twitter-dev] Sort order for friends/ids & followers/ids

[John Kalucki]

I believe a fix for this went out yesterday at around 4:30pm PST / 0:30 UTC.
The social graph should now always be in reverse chronological order.
Wilhelm would know for sure.

[twitter-dev] How to monitor our brand by Streaming API

[Can]

Dear Developers,

We would like to monitor what have been tweeted about our brand and we
would like to publish this up to minute

tweets on our wp based blog

What should be the best WP-Plugin coded by Twitter Search Streaming
API ?

Thank you for your help,

Best Regards,

[twitter-dev] Twitter Profile Widget RateLimit

[Jason King]

Hi,

I am investigating options for showing a twitter widget on a website.
I am considering using the Twitter provided Profile Widget (http://
twitter.com/goodies/widget_profile).

I wanted to clarify what rate limiting policy (if any) applies to this
widget?

>From reading the documentation, the widget does not make authenticated
calls, and therefore a client IP limit would be applied. As the call
to twitter is made via javascript from the client browser, the limit
would then be placed on the client IP (150 calls per hour).

The widget will show for various twitter users who register with my
site (i.e. they say what their twitter name is and on their public
page, the twitter widget will show their last couple of tweets). The
render rate will be much higher than 150 per hour in total, but for an
individual browser should be much less.

Finally, what happens when a large number of clients (browsers) are
behind a proxy such as at a university or large company?

Thank you
Jason

[twitter-dev] Re: search.twitter.com over last couple of days intermittently says that the page has been moved

[kmac23va]

I've had the same problem...I thought I was jumping over a rate limit
from my location, but I'd like to hear from someone on Twitter on
this. I'm getting ready to launch a website with a Twitter search on
the homepage, and I don't want a "no results" message coming up due to
error failover in my code.

[twitter-dev] Sort order for friends/ids & followers/ids

[Karmadude]

Is there an option to change the sort order for friends/ids &
followers/ids. I am trying to get at the person someone followed first
for http://liji.jinaraj.com/followtrail/

[twitter-dev] Re: bug with search using max_id

[M. Edward (Ed) Borasky]

It now appears to be working with max_id. I was in the process of
gathering data to fill out an issue report when it failed to fail. ;-)

Murphy, where are you? ;-)
