[twitter-dev] Re: getting more information than 'Could not authenticate...'

2010-01-25 Thread eco_bach
Hi Michael
Good point. Actionscript 3.
Chices are Twitterscript and Tweetr.

As far as I know, Twitterscript has no example using OAuth.

And Tweetr has no example of working with browser based web
authentication WITHOUT also requiring the PIN handshake.

If you think I am wrong in NOT choosing either of the above, would
appreciate your rationale.

After some research, decided to use as a base what Sonke Rohde has
done
http://soenkerohde.com/2010/01/twitter-as3-oauth-lib-with-flex-4-example/

Sonke's example is Flex4 and for an AIR application, so I've modified
it quite a bit to work for an Actionscript only web application.
Sonke in turn is using code this open source project to create
requests, generate signatures
http://code.google.com/p/oauth-as3/

The fact that I've gotten OAuth to work up to the point of verify
credentials working would seem to indcate that I am at least on the
right path.
And I've learned a heck of a lot as well;)
Perhaps what I'm trying to do isn't possible (ie creating browser
based web OAuth authentication WITHOUT also requiring the PIN
handshake)
but I'm determined to find out if this is the case.

[twitter-dev] AJAX and oAuth

2010-01-25 Thread Patrick
I want to implement an AJAX and oAuth design using PHP and jQuery.

Now, if a dedicated user is required, I can embed the token and secret
into a PHP file. However, to allow a multi-user scheme, I can put the
token and secret into a cookie, and read them from JavaScript.
However, is that a good idea - i.e, is it secure, or what should I do
to implement a good security model for an AJAX / oAuth design?


[twitter-dev] Re: AJAX and oAuth

2010-01-25 Thread Patrick
I was thinking. I can just use a database and write the current user
out (embed it) into the PHP dynamically, instead of posting it from

[twitter-dev] Can new twitter account be created from API?

2010-01-25 Thread Dmitri Snytkine
Hello!
I am wondering if it's possible to use the API to create a brand new
Twitter account?
For example, I am developing a forum software, so I want to create a
new twitter account when a new forum is created, so that it can be
used to 'follow this forum on Twitter' feature.

I know the new email address is needed per every new account, but
that's not a problem, since I have a control of
my domain name, I can just instantly generate a valid email address.

Any thoughts on this?

[twitter-dev] Re: Can new twitter account be created from API?

2010-01-25 Thread Dmitri Snytkine
Target for abuse? How? Does Twitter allow to create an extra account
just for a blog so people can follow my blog?
Or do I have to use my personal account and say 'follow me on
Twitter', when I really mean to follow my blog updates?

I just don't see any forums to implement this yet, I am surprised at
that. It seems feasible to add a feature to a forum software that
would send update when a new thread is created on a forum or maybe
even when new reply is made.

Or is the reason this is not implemented anywhere is because this sort
of thing is not allowed by Twitter?

From a spam twitter (swit?) perspective I can understand not wanting to 
open up registration of new accounts to an automated status.  Perhaps an 
alternative would be to create a register and return oAuth URL that 
lets the user sign up for an account and allow the application 
authorization access at the same time.  But even if this is not possible 
I don't think this is too much of an extra step.

Well, you could look through the search results. Here's the problem, 
though:  even if you did that URL may very well have been shortened.  So 
unless the URL is originally tiny that could make it impossible without 
extensive searches calls to URL shorteners.

 I was wondering if adding the ability to start from the last page of
 the result set was supported or is in the works. In my case starting
 from old followers/friends would greatly reduce de amount of API calls
 i have to do.

 Thanks

 Luc

Re: [twitter-dev] 'Incorrect signature' on status update with OAuth when verify credentials works

2010-01-25 Thread ryan alford
I am just wondering why you can't keep all of your questions in the same
thread?  If somebody was having the same issues as you, they would have to
look through 10+ of your threads.

To try to answer the question, are you including the status parameter as
part of the query string, which in turn, will be part of the signature?

 Almost there...
 Already googled this error and changed my request from http to https.

 Still getting same error...

 Any suggestions?

Thanks Ryan
I'll have to look into signature creation more closely.
Essentially, if I understand correctly, I am most likely missing the
status parameter BEFORE creating the signature.
Would I need to include the status value as well, or is only the
parameter name necessary to create the signature?


[twitter-dev] Re: Can new twitter account be created from API?

2010-01-25 Thread Johnny Honestly
Twitter is a messenger system. They want people to use the system.
They also want the people to make of the service what they will. If
they opened it up and made affiliates out of developers and producers,
they would have a free marketing force beyond the twiddle celeb fetish
factor.

If they made API reg, for instance, every new wordpress sign up could
simultaneously become a new twitter user.

  I think Twitter (and other service APIs) would do well to let the

  You'll see.

  @mostmodernist

  From a spam twitter (swit?) perspective I can understand not wanting to
 open up registration of new accounts to an automated status.  Perhaps an
 alternative would be to create a register and return oAuth URL that
 lets the user sign up for an account and allow the application
 authorization access at the same time.  But even if this is not possible
 I don't think this is too much of an extra step.


[twitter-dev] Chirp: Twitter Developer Conference

2010-01-25 Thread Ryan Sarver
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up now that we have officially
announced the dates for Chirp and made the first 200 tickets available
for purchase at http://chirp.twitter.com. Chirp will be a two day
event being held on April 14th and 15th and over 800 tickets will be
available in total. You can follow @chirp (http://twitter.com/chirp)
for announcements.

Chirp is a developer-focused event and we want to make sure the room
is filled with all the right people. In fact, you'll notice that you
even need to use the API to be able to purchase a ticket :) We as a
company are really excited about the event and investing a lot in
making this something really special. We hope to have lots of you
there to celebrate the accomplishments of the ecosystem and share the
roadmap of the platform.

The schedule is still in development and we'll be adding more detail
to the Chirp site as things come together. You can expect to hear from
people at Twitter, top developers, investors and users from across the
ecosystem. We are interested to hear what you would like to see
content-wise, so please send us any ideas/wants you have and help us
shape the conference.

Also, in an effort to give cash-strapped developers access to the
conference, we have a pool of Scholarship Tickets. These tickets are
an opportunity for individuals or companies with the means to
anonymously purchase a ticket for a budding developer without the same
means to attend. If you are in a position to help another developer,
please consider doing so by generously giving back to the ecosystem.
If you are a developer that would like to apply for a Scholarship
Ticket we'll be following up with details on how to do so soon.

We look forward to your thoughts and ideas on what kind of content you
think would make the conference a success. If you have feedback or are
looking for things like press passes, please email ch...@twitter.com.
We look forward to meeting you in person.

Best, Ryan

 Thanks for requesting to be on Twitter's API whitelist.
 Unfortunately, we've rejected your request.
 Here's why: This was completely blank
 Please address the issues above and submit another request if
 appropriate.

 No way to reply to the message...

 Any thoughts on what to do next would be most appreciated?
