[twitter-dev] Re: Announcing Twurl: OAuth-enabled curl for the Twitter API
Hi, I installed RubyGems and did this sudo gem i twurl --sourcehttp://rubygems.org Then tried to use twurl but it gives a error : twurl: command not found Please tell me what am I missing ? Also, how do we use twurl with PHP ? cURL can be used with the PHP built in functions. Kartik On Apr 21, 12:13 am, Marcel Molina mar...@twitter.com wrote: We've announced that come June 2010, Basic Auth will no longer be supported via the Twitter API. All authenticated requests will be moving to OAuth (either version 1.0a or the emerging 2.0 spec). There are many benefits from this change. Aside from the obvious security improvements, having all requests be signed with OAuth gives us far better visibility into our traffic and allows us many more tools for controlling and limiting abuse. When we know and trust the origin of our traffic we can loosen the reigns a lot and trust by default. We've already made a move in this direction by automatically increasing rate limits for requests signed with OAuth made to the new versioned api.twitter.com host. One of the often cited virtues of the Twitter API is its simplicity. All you have to do to poke around at the API is curl, for example,http://api.twitter.com/1/users/noradio.xmland you're off and running. When you require that OAuth be added to the mix, you risk losing the simplicity and low barrier to entry that curl affords you. We want to preserve this simplicity. So we've provided two tools to let you poke around at the API without having to fuss with all the extraneous details of OAuth. For those who want the ease of the web, we've already included an API console in our new developer portal athttp://dev.twitter.com/console. And now today we're glad to make available the Twurl command line utility as open source software: http://github.com/marcel/twurl If you already have RubyGems (http://rubygems.org/), you can install it with the gem command: sudo gem i twurl --sourcehttp://rubygems.org If you don't have RubyGems but you have Rake (http://rake.rubyforge.org/), you can install it from source. Check out the INSTALL file (http://github.com/marcel/twurl/blob/master/INSTALL). Once you've got it installed, start off by checking out the README (http://github.com/marcel/twurl/blob/master/README) (you can always get the README by running 'twurl -T'): +---+ | Twurl | +---+ Twurl is like curl, but tailored specifically for the Twitter API. It knows how to grant an access token to a client application for a specified user and then sign all requests with that access token. It also provides other development and debugging conveniences such as defining aliases for common requests, as well as support for multiple access tokens to easily switch between different client applications and Twitter accounts. +-+ | Getting Started | +-+ The first thing you have to do is register an OAuth application to get a consumer key and secret. http://dev.twitter.com/apps/new When you have your consumer key and its secret you authorize your Twitter account to make API requests with your consumer key and secret. % twurl authorize --consumer-key the_key \ --consumer-secret the_secret This will return an URL that you should open up in your browser. Authenticate to Twitter, and then enter the returned PIN back into the terminal. Assuming all that works well, you will beauthorized to make requests with the API. Twurl will tell you as much. If your consumer application has xAuth enabled, then you can use a variant of the above % twurl authorize -u username -p password \ --consumer-key the_key \ --consumer-secret the_secret And, again assuming your username, password, key and secret is correct, will authorize you in one step. +-+ | Making Requests | +-+ The simplest request just requires that you specify the path you want to request. % twurl /1/statuses/home_timeline.xml Similar to curl, a GET request is performed by default. You can implicitly perform a POST request by passing the -d option, which specifies POST parameters. % twurl -d 'status=Testing twurl' /1/statuses/update.xml You can explicitly specify what request method to perform with the -X (or --request-method) option. % twurl -X DELETE /1/statuses/destroy/123456.xml +--+ | Creating aliases | +--+ % twurl alias h /1/statuses/home_timeline.xml You can then use h in place of the full path. % twurl h Paths that require additional options such as request parameters for example can be used with aliases the same as with full explicit paths, just as you might expect. % twurl alias tweet /1/statuses/update.xml % twurl tweet -d status=Aliases in twurl are convenient +---+ | Changing your default profile
[twitter-dev] Symbian^4 Social Networking Integration
Hi everyone, I'm James, I work at the Symbian Foundation. I thought you might be interested to hear to about an open source project to create a common social networking integration point for developers in Symbian^4, which will be finished in August this year. The Social Mobile Framework will ultimately create two things: - a plug-in interface, so that social networks can be plugged in as the data source for features in all the native apps. For example, a twitter plug-in could bring twitter updates to your home screen or contacts status feeds, a flickr plug-in could get the image gallery uploading and browsing your flickr collections, etc. - access to these plug-ins to all third party app developers from a common interface. Like I said, It's open source, so here are some resources. - Project Wiki: http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Social_Mobile_Framework - Mailing List: http://developer.symbian.org/mailman/listinfo/socialmobilefw-dev - Mercurial: http://developer.symbian.org/oss/FCL/sf/incubator/socialmobilefw/ - If you run doxygen over the code, you'll get the interface specs. I'm looking into getting prebuilt docs on the project page asap. What do we need? - Developer opinions and review. If you look at mercurial repo, you'll see it's still early days and there's still time to shape the interfaces to make them do what you need for your apps. Join the mailing list, offer opinions, etc. - Code contribution and testing is more than welcome, probably more relevant later though. A team of developers at Sasken are contributing the framework to Symbian, lead by Chandradeep Gandhi. They're on the mailing list linked above. Thanks and all the best!

[twitter-dev] Server-2-Server User Streams
Hello! While it has been documented that the Twitter User Streams API is designed predominantly for server-2-client interactions, I'm wondering how Twitter feels about a service provider (like Cliqset) attempting to behave within the bounds of a typical User Streams usage pattern. At a high level what I mean by 'behave' is that the Cliqset website would exhibit the behavior of a desktop application, establishing connectivity to the User Stream only when Twitter user was active within the application. The only caveat would be the need for multiple authenticated connections from 1 or more hosts. Is this something that would be frowned upon by Twitter or can we explore this further? Thanks, Darren -- Subscription settings: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/subscribe?hl=en
Re: [twitter-dev] Server-2-Server User Streams
We truly and sincerely want support this use case as soon as we possibly can. To do so is a big win for everyone. If we can hack something together, even at considerable expense, we will do so. There isn't a clear path, as our options are limited due to authentication, privacy, capacity and logistics issues. We'll continue to game out various acceleration possibilities as we get user streams ready to launch over the next several months. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Infrastructure, Twitter Inc.

[twitter-dev] stream api query with both track and follow
Hi I have a question as to the behaviour when one specifies both a 'track' parameter and a 'follow' parameter. From my understanding from the wiki: statuses/filter Returns public statuses that match one or more filter predicates. At least one predicate parameter, follow, locations, or track must be specified. Multiple parameters may be specified which allows most clients to use a single connection to the Streaming API. Placing long parameters in the URL may cause the request to be rejected for excessive URL length. Use a POST request header parameter to avoid long URLs. Is that the parameters are treated as an 'or' clause and thus I would get everything, minus the usual limits, for a particular track predicate and everything for all the users I am following. Is this the correct interpretation. Also, if I was just following a track query and then I add a follow query, will the number of results in my track query go down because some amount is used up by the follow, or are the limits individually placed on track and on follow.

Re: [twitter-dev] stream api query with both track and follow
This is the correct interpretation. The track limiting is against the total number of messages delivered to your stream, which means follow + track + locations all count against the limit. ---Mark http://twitter.com/mccv On Thu, Apr 22, 2010 at 1:54 PM, Dima Brodsky ddbrod...@gmail.com wrote: Hi I have a question as to the behaviour when one specifies both a 'track' parameter and a 'follow' parameter.

[twitter-dev] Re: users/lookup issues
thanks, works in the browser now, however the corrected oAuth call does not work and gives me a 401. Is there trick to getting this method to work with oAuth? I noticed someone else was having problems with it. As I said before every other api method call works except this one. for example this works in the browser but not via oauth - http://api.twitter.com/1/users/lookup.json?screen_name=JAIMEALGUERSUAR,rubarrichello,The_Real_JB,karunchandhok,realTimoGlock,lucasdigrassi,NickHeidfeld,NicoHulkenberg,H_Kovalainen,vitalypetrovru,nico_rosberg,BSenna,AussieGrit I am using EPITwitter so if anyone has come across this issue with that library or php before I would love some help to solve the issue if its not an api one.

Re: [twitter-dev] stream api query with both track and follow
Small correction: follow is full fidelity and will never be limited. Statuses delivered because of a match on track or locations will count against the same limit. ---Mark http://twitter.com/mccv On Thu, Apr 22, 2010 at 1:57 PM, Mark McBride mmcbr...@twitter.com wrote: This is the correct interpretation.
