[twitter-dev] Re: users/lookup not working for JSON
It looks like things are working again. Thanks unknown developer. I
also noticed that the extensions (json,xml,atom) seem to be case-
sensitive. I don't know how I got this far without noticing that.

I might be overlooking something, but it seems like users/lookup isn't
working. I tried it using my app credentials and got the following
message:
{
errors: [

message: No user matches for specified terms
}
]
}
Just to be sure, I went tohttp://dev.twitter.com/consoleand entered
the parameters from the documentation
http://api.twitter.com/1/users/lookup.xml?user_id=1401881,1401882http://api.twitter.com/1/users/lookup.xml?screen_name=dougw,raffi
I tried
1. user_id in the left field and 1401881,1401882 then followed
that unsuccessful attempt with
2. screen_name and dougw,raffi in the right field
The second setting was attempted using both GET and POST with
JSON selected as output, and I got the same message.
After trying a bunch of combinations, using XML seemed to still work,
but no more JSON.
[twitter-dev] Re: OAuth Echo problem in python
Hi, I also stacked on the TwitPic's OAuth Echo Protocol a week ago. The point was making header just like to request Twitter. 1. make OAuth Header to request Account/Verify_credentials to get JSON not XML as result by GET method. 2. insert this header into X-Verify-Credentials-Authorization header with realm. You make verification request header, and TwitPic send it to Twitter as you send in TwitPic site. Remember the OAuth Echo was just an echo protocol. The image file to send to TwitPic should be included as multipart/form- data format. I wrote a blog article for Ruby language and hope the code in the article make some help. -- Norio Suzuki

I realise it's a slightly different scenario, but I when Merbcamp broadcast live a few years ago there was a semi-official outpost in London for those that wanted to take part.

Since the underscore is an acceptable char to variable/attribute
names, you would surely end up with unwanted type coercions... if a
developer chose _int for the last part of the attribute, it would
force coercion to integer... which you cannot be sure it's what he/she
wanted in the first place.
If this is really an issue (I'm still unconvinced it is), you need to
find another way of *explicitly* doing this.
For example:
location : {
latitude: { type: 'xsd:float', value: '45.4' },
longitude: 45
}
in this case it would specify:
lat: 45.4 (float)
long: 45 (int)
(since longitude opts for an implicit type specification)

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Annotations with data types
Hi Andre,
I understand your concern. I was trying to propose one possible way of doing
things. I welcome other suggestions as well, but each will have its own
merits / demerits.
We first need to see if the concept of a data-type is really a concern. I
think it is a nice-to-have feature, as it will save repetitive checks across
the tens of thousands of twitter clients and their millions of instances.
To draw an analogy, imagine if the status_id in a tweet was not guaranteed
to be an integer. Every client would have to do a lot of boring /
inefficient checks for such a simple thing.
Now take that problem and blow it up a thousand fold with all sorts of
annotations being made across possibly co-operating but definitely
un-coordinated clients.
I personally don't prefer the suffixed label approach all that much. A
three-tuple or a hierarchial-tuple system like you suggested would be
better. But the suffixed label approach is the least disruptive to what has
already been defined.
cheers,
Harshad

If you want to upgrade though to python-oauth2, the biggest change is
swapping out your imports to use oauth2 instead of oauth and removing the
OAuth prefix on all the class names.
For example:
import oauth
oauth.OAuthRequest(...)
oauth.OAuthToken(...)
becomes:
import oauth2
oauth2.Request(...)
oauth2.Token(...)
etc...
Most of the API that you care about is identical from there. The library
has evolved a bit but it should be obvious and most of the public methods
remained the same. In my fork, I've fixed a few issues and added some
changes to support XAuth and a few other minor issues (like forcing
Authentication headers on POSTs for Twitter).

Could you share some of the steps of your request while setting your oauth_callback? * Signature Base String * Your Authorization header * Any POST body you are sending * The exact URL you are executing What happens when you complete the authorization step?

[twitter-dev] Problem with adding favorites (api.twitter.com/1)

I am using the following URL:

Neither seem to work via my OAuth App. I get the following response:

Is this a known bug? Should I be using http://twitter.com instead of

Re: [twitter-dev] Window.open twitter.com doesnt work inIE6

[twitter-dev] Saerch API and Twitter Live Search Results disparity
Last night I collected tweets through the search API for the hashtag #glossgreen, and got a sizeable number of tweets. This morning I did the equivalent thing through the search box on my Twitter homepage (the URL that appears in my browser is http:// twitter.com/#search?q=%23glossgreen), and got different results. More specifically, I found that there were a few users who's tweets appeared when doing the search through the search box in the browser who do not appear at all through the search API results. For example, the user @gloss had many tweets using the #glossgreen hashtag in the time period around 6-8 pm PDT 6/2 -- none of these appear in the twitter search results, but many appear in results through the twitter search box on my personal twitter homepage. I just re-performed both searches this morning to make sure this isn't a temporary issue, but got the same disparity, What expectation should I have about search API accuracy? Shold I expect the search API results to eventually repair, or is are the @gloss tweets permanently missing from the search API's database? I don't want to have to use multiple different APIs/screen-scrapes/ streams just to make sure I get accurate search results, but if that's what I have to do then please let me know. Brian Maso

I am starting on a test account first and dont care about the access token/secret stuff as this account will be removed once i have this figured out and use a production account. I have retrieved my access token and secret via jtwitter but using my own Javascript in conjunction with C++ to pull my request, it does get sent to twitter just with the following result, i have so far recieved these errors after tweaking, the header.authorization and encoding methods for parameters. errorCould not authenticate you./error errorIncorrect signature/error errorInvalid / expired Token/error (latest error) Thank you in advance!!

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Getting errors from Twitter, Open Auth
Debugging OAuth in Javascript is a very painstaking process. What kind of application are you writing? How is Javascript used to perform the OAuth requests? Is the Javascript running in a protected environment where the consumer secret and access token secrets will not be human readable?

[twitter-dev] Is tweet retweeted or not.
Hello. In my application I get the user's home timeline. I let the user to natively (by using the retweet feature of Twitter in the API) retweet a tweet. If the user reloads the page I get the updated home timeline from the twitter servers again. However there isn't any tag in the status tag indicating that the user has already retweeted this so that I can show a mark to the user that he already retweeted the particular tweet. Is there any way for this?
[twitter-dev] Re: Getting errors from Twitter, Open Auth
The Javascript is only a part of the application, the application is actually just a service that sends a message to users from an account. the application is built in C++. and we pull our tokens from the database. The javascript builds the request and then gets sent off through C++. the web requests in general work. i have been able to send SOAP requests, and i was able to send the requests for basic, this is more of an upgrade job. for instance the previous script for authorization was: var sUser = ; var sPassword = ; var sLogin64 = ; var sAuthHeader = ; sUser = nvGet(username); sPassword = nvGet(password); goNVOut.Duplicate(goNVIn); goNVIn.Destroy(username); goNVIn.Destroy(password); sUser += :; sUser += sPassword; sLogin64 = Base64.encode(sUser); sAuthHeader = Basic + sLogin64; goNVOut.Set(Header.Authorization, sAuthHeader); On Jun 4, 12:15 pm, Taylor Singletary taylorsinglet...@twitter.com wrote: Debugging OAuth in Javascript is a very painstaking process.

The stream API will have more results and will give all results versus the search API which will sample popular results (high-velocity), but for this case all results are available for both systems.

This morning I did the equivalent thing through the search box on my Twitter homepage (the URL that appears in my browser is http:// twitter.com/#search?q=%23glossgreen), and got different results. More specifically, I found that there were a few users who's tweets appeared when doing the search through the search box in the browser who do not appear at all through the search API results. For example, the user @gloss had many tweets using the #glossgreen hashtag in the time period around 6-8 pm PDT 6/2 -- none of these appear in the twitter search results, but many appear in results through the twitter search box on my personal twitter homepage. I just re-performed both searches this morning to make sure this isn't a temporary issue, but got the same disparity, What expectation should I have about search API accuracy? Shold I expect the search API results to eventually repair, or is are the @gloss tweets permanently missing from the search API's database? I don't want to have to use multiple different APIs/screen-scrapes/ streams just to make sure I get accurate search results, but if that's what I have to do then please let me know. Brian Maso
