Yeah ... I think we're stuck with this sort of thing until we get a
robust library in portable *C* code. I took a look at the one from
Gist that's noted on the web site - it's in Java, but I don't see why
it couldn't be ported to C and released in open source. I don't want a
Java Virtual Machine dependency just to talk to Streaming, though. ;-)

You really only need to do the connection stuff in C - using SWIG, you
can link to any higher-level language for feeding to a queue, flat
file, RDBMS, NoSQL database, etc. Any chance libcurl could do this?
There are already libcurl bindings for most of the languages, and
there are Windows binaries. Could Twitter write and publish something?
I'd think the time saved from not having to chase down Streaming
connection problems would more than pay for the effort.

I haven't seen anything like this, but I've only used "tweetstream",
not "twitter-stream". I had a connection running last week for about
12 hours with no problems. It was on the "filter" stream doing a

Joe Mayo here. Author, Consultant, and 3rd Party Twitter Library
developer. While writing my most recent book, LINQ Programming/McGraw-
Hill, I wanted to show readers how to create a LINQ provider.
Therefore, I created an open source .NET LINQ provider for Twitter and
posted it at http://linqtotwitter.codeplex.com/.  I think Twitter is
incredible for what it has accomplished so far and the amazing
potential it has as a transformational communications medium.  BTW, I

* SpazCore, a component library for JavaScript that helps devs build
web runtime applications.

* Twitter Source Stats, a simple web app that tracks and displays

  I'd like to see more links to tools that permit the tracking of long terms

downloadable applications for an open source operating system. There are
interesting web based tools but applying them discloses both methodology and

Re: [twitter-dev] Streaming API question

2010-02-19 Thread John Kalucki
This shouldn't be happening, and having developers build these sorts of
workarounds saddens me.

It is possible that the server side is holding dead connections open, but I
doubt it -- as I've a considerable amount of data to the contrary. I suspect
that the socket code does not detect a close, driven by either a TCP Close
or a TCP Reset. I've run connections over the public internet with close
monitoring and rarely noticed a timeout.

If you point the same client at a file of streaming data on a web server,
does the client detect the end of file at the correct point?

if you have a legitimate need, say brand protection for a large operation,
you can still get blocked from registering accounts if you have too many. I
think we got to around a hundred and then got the door slammed on our

Perhaps there are larger social media operations who are better
connected with Twitter and they have a different arrangement.

For a long time, I didn't 'get' Twitter. Then I thought of having the
classified ads on my site send an update to the site's Twitter status
each time someone posts a new ad. A TinyURL for the ad is included in
the status update.

I also realized that Twitter is a really good way to keep my site's
users updated about the site. There are many possible pratfalls if one
tries to keep a mailing list, that include getting blacklisted due to
false spam complaints and so on. So, I'm letting Twitter be the means
by which I stay in touch with my site's visitors!

Now I am a big fan of Twitter.

I use Classic ASP with the API.

My site isn't anything fancy, it is just a fun little hobby site for
owners of Quarter Horses at http://QHTimes.com (Twitter account
QHtimes)

What have I built? Some public stuff is at

What do I most want to see added? Well, right now, I'd mostly like to
see Twitter put up a public page with all the "gee-whiz" statistics -
how many tweets per hour are being created, how many searches are
being done, how many people are joining Twitter per day, etc. I'm
happy with the API itself.

For what I got, Twitter first retrieve the tweets from the cache and
then tests if some of those were removed. In your case, 2 tweets were
deleted and, thus, not returned in the result (although they still
were present in the cache.)

I did a quick search and couldn't find anything. But, again, if my
memory doesn't fail, the total number of tweets you can retrieve are
based on the total number of tweets in the cache.

Either that or I'm confusing it with the search cache.

[twitter-dev] home_timeline problems with count and page/pagination

2010-02-19 Thread Chris Bailey
I probably am simply misunderstanding something, but I'm getting what
I think are odd results in calls to home_timeline when using the count
and page parameters.  For example, if I set the count to be 100, and
then simply start with page 1, then fetch successive pages I run into
two issues:

1) I don't always get 100 tweets back, even though I specified 100 for
the count.
2) I get zero tweets back on about page 9, yet, according to the
pagination and rate limiting docs, I should be able to do about 32
pages (rate limit of 3200 tweets, with asking for 100 per page)

E.g. my script spits out:

Processing 98 tweets on page 1...
Processing 99 tweets on page 2...
Processing 99 tweets on page 3...
Processing 100 tweets on page 4...
Processing 97 tweets on page 5...
Processing 100 tweets on page 6...
Processing 97 tweets on page 7...
Processing 99 tweets on page 8...
Processing 0 tweets on page 9...

I'm not using a since parameter (yet), since this is the initial run.
Thus, I'm trying to understand how I can go through a history of
tweets and ensure I've gotten as many back as I can per the rate and
pagination limits.  Can someone explain why I wouldn't get 100 tweets
per page, and then why it seems to drop off after returning roughly
800 tweets (8 pages)?


Re: [twitter-dev] Streaming API question

2010-02-19 Thread Dima Brodsky

Hi,

Yup, I saw it the last couple of weeks, this week has been  
considerably better.  I use the delimited stream so I do read(entry  
size), read(entry), repeat ... I just put a 30 second timeout on the  
read operation (this is all in python) and if a read fails I close the  
stream and reconnect.  This seems to work quite well ... depending on  
the chunk size you are reading you could probably lower the timeout if  
you are afraid of losing data.

All works well for a period of time (8+ hours in some cases, sometimes

[twitter-dev] oauth/authenticate language options

When I request the authenticate page, for some reason the page that

xoauth_lang_pref but that hasn't made a difference.


[twitter-dev] Re: Fail on Capture the Access Token in JS

2010-02-19 Thread Fernando Jorge
Hello Andrew.

I decided to use the JS OAuth-In-JavaScript (http://code.google.com/p/
oauth-in-javascript/downloads/list), because it has already been made
to allow the use of OAuth in Firefox extensions . Signature is
generated in the critpografia HMAC-SHA1 and encrypted with the
standard RFC.Claro that, in the case of Twitter, I made some
modifications in order to apply the oauth_verifier among the
parameters, and even then only returns Twitter 401 Forbidden.Como I
tried to be in Abraham's PHP Lib, I have become the method used for
the request in GET.Abaixo I spend an example of the URL generated by
the script:

https: / / api.twitter.com / oauth / access_token? oauth_consumer_key
= P3Ttvm4OXrCB4fTNY72xdw & oauth_nonce =
d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e & oauth_signature_method = HMAC-SHA1
& oauth_timestamp = 1266584756 & oauth_token =
Hu22faLZe3iW6jonPzO0mDE1Q11Q8d0rIVJpy8hghA & oauth_verifier = 5575287
& oauth_version = 1.0a & oauth_signature = 68XloBUImt3VHUqF3dzQpSDMPHQ
% 3D

Detail: The signature is generated as if it were a normal request, but
it seems to be the problem, because Twitter only returns the 401
Forbidden with nothing in its content.

I await response.

Re: [twitter-dev] complete Retweet functionality in thirdparty apps

2010-02-19 Thread srikanth reddy
@Abraham
One thing you cant do with the API is
Preventing users from retweeting their friends retweet which has already
been retweeted by the user .To check this
Go to "Retweets By Others" tab just retweet a friend's retweet and refresh
your tabs. In web interface that tweet will appear in both "Retweets By
Others" and "Retweets By Me" tabs and you will be given an option to undo
the retweet in both tabs. But you cannot do the same with the API There is
no way a user can find his retweeted entry in "Retweets By Others" directly
(with one call)

To fix this either
1) we should check the original retweet ids in both "Retweets By Others" and
"Retweets by Me" (i.e make 2 calls). Not only is this resource/time
consuming but it is highly unreliable. Some times "Retweets by Me" entries
may not overlap with the entries from "Retweets By Others" due to the data
size limit (200)

Or
2)Twitter should add some flag like retweeted_by_me to the pay load for
"Retweets By Others" which is really helpful
This bug has been left untouched for a long time.

@Tim Haines
Theres already a bug filedfor that( num of ppl who RTed a tweet).API
currently shows 20 but the doc says 100. I am okay with this as well.
atleast you are seeing 20 ppl.

Re: [twitter-dev] Fail on Capture the Access Token in JS

2010-02-19 Thread Andrew Badera
A 401 often indicates a poorly-formed signature. I would take the
output of your JavaScript request and compare it visually with the
output of a good reference implementation, like Abraham's lib.
Sometimes it's hard to predict exactly what your output will look like
when trying to port across platforms/languages, even if the logic
appears correct.

Also, consider taking a dependency on a known good reference JS
implementation, like the one found on Google Code:
