[twitter-dev] Re: Seeing weird, malformed HTTP responses? We're on it.

[artesea]

Except that I find status.twitter.com is the last place to look for
any information about faults.
We're getting the flak from users for around 3-4 hours before anything
relating to the issue appears on status, and the only official tweets
come from the twitterapi account which none of the users follow.

[twitter-dev] RT (retweet) path trace . . .

[hkimscil]

Please pardon my ignorance . . . Is there any way to trace the retweet
paths. Since the Twitter added "a button for retweet", the origins of
any retweeted message becomes the first person who started the tweet
message. But, as I understand, some people retweet "retweeted
messages." Or some retweet "re-retweeted messages". Is there any way
to record that sorts of paths? Thanks!

[twitter-dev] What are the valid screenname and password charaters?

[SM]

I'd like to test some OAuth code. As part of that I'd like to create
some test accounts with representative screennames and passwords so I
can make sure I do the encoding right.

What characters are valid for screenname and password?

[Jason LaFollette]

Incase it helps anyone investigating...

users/lookup.json returns a complete response when I access it through
a web browser or fiddler.net

users/lookup.json returns a partial response when I access it
programmatically through a .NET WebRequest or through curl from an OSX
command line

I originally thought it might be http request headers, but I've
stripped out ever header except Auth within fiddler and I continue to
get full responses.

[twitter-dev] still down

[MeltingIce]

Looks like logins have been broken for 11-12 hours now for TwitPic.
On the plus side, our servers are finally getting a breath of fresh
air from the low number of requests :P

[twitter-dev] Re: Issues with OAuth

[Jérôme Gravel-Niquet]

Same here.

Worked fine in the morning, I thought my app was set for the day (I
just released a new version) but then when I tried it myself later, I
stumbled on this issue.

It's pretty bad since I was releasing a new version today and was
hoping for it to gain much momentum. I looked for a mistake of my own
for hours before I looked at the Twitter API account. Lesson learned.

Anyways, I hope this gets fixed soon, my app is pretty much unusable
except for about 90 people who logged in successfully before the
problem started occurring.

[twitter-dev] Having problems after OAuth login

[akaii]

We're experiencing problems with Twitter's OAuth login. After the
"Redirecting you back to your application..." page, we get a 500
error:

"Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was
unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, y...@example.com and inform
them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done
that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error
log."

Is there anything wrong with Twitter's services at the moment? This
started around 12-14 hours prior to this mail (10pm Tokyo time). The
API status page indicates nothing is wrong though.

[twitter-dev] SSL Certificates renewal on Tuesday 20th July

[themattharris]

Hey developers,

Many of you have noticed our SSL certificate for api.twitter.com will
expire on 26th July 2010, with mobile.twitter.com and
search.twitter.com soon after. We wanted to give you a heads up that
tomorrow at 2PM PDT (10PM GMT) we plan to upgrade the SSL certificate
on our servers. As our servers are load balanced we expect this to be
unnoticeable to you and your users but, as we will need to restart the
servers there is a chance a user may get a failed request.

The certificate will be from the same vendor as before and be a
wildcard certificate for *.twitter.com. The certificate will be valid
for 2 years but could be changed or upgraded as the need requires.
We'll let you know beforehand if we will be doing that.

Best,
Matt

[twitter-dev] max_id being added to search queries?

[Mark Linsey]

Hi all,

I am using the Twitter Search API.  I am finding today that even though I am
not providing a max_id or a since_id, both are being added.  I am getting a
response warning saying that since_id has been adjusted.  I assume max_id is
being adjusted for the same reason.

I am fetching this url:
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=qwerpoiu&rpp=100&page=1&result_type=recent&lang=en

and getting this response:
{"results":[],"max_id":18949422775,"since_id":18903514913,"refresh_url":"?since_id=18949422775&q=qwerpoiu","results_per_page":100,"page":1,"completed_in":0.020541,"warning":"adjusted
since_id to 18903514913 due to temporary error","query":"qwerpoiu"}

I was expecting to get this tweet, which does appear on search.twitter.com:
http://twitter.com/mjltest/statuses/18953620545

I assume that these are extra limits put in place today to deal with other
issues in the Twitter API.  Is there any way of getting recent search
results now?

Yup.

it's down. has been for hours.

being executed, etc.

  - The full response, including HTTP Headers

(as can be provided without compromising private user / app data)

Thanks!

The actual body of the request is actually the correct XML

but my app checks for the correct HTTP header content-type.

Is anyone else seeing this?

[twitter-dev] Seeing weird, malformed HTTP responses? We're on it.

[Taylor Singletary]

Hi Developers,

Along with a host of other issues we've been keeping you in the loop on
http://status.twitter.com -- we have another issue that a number of you have
pointed out:

*Our HTTP responses appear to be insane.*

- We're sending Content-Length twice, with differing numbers -- and
generally sending duplicate HTTP headers as a whole.

- We're sending the incorrect Content-Type corresponding to the response
format you are requesting (though the content itself is likely in the format
you are expecting).

- We're truncating response bodies.

We've got the team looking into this right now. It's too early for an ETA on
a fix.

Thank you for your patience. This is, admittedly, a pretty weird issue.

[twitter-dev] abruptly cut connections with JSON

[Cameron Kaiser]

I'm getting reports from multiple users which I can confirm where the server
starts to reply (correctly) to a signed request, then abruptly drops the
connection during the transaction -- iow, the server accepts the request and
starts sending a well-formed reply, but then drops it in the middle without
completely transmitting data. Is this part of the OAuth issues this morning?

Thanks Mark! We're looking into this. It's related in some way to the
duplicate HTTP headers we are sending and Content-Type/Content-Length
issues. This is very helpful!

[twitter-dev] Re: xauth token exchange failing

[ap]

Isaiah,

I seem to be getting similar errors with regular OAuth requests. If
I'm already logged into twitter and OAuth just needs to redirect, it
works, but if I land on the login page, enter my username and password
and click submit, the redirect breaks with the 500 error.

Re: [twitter-dev] Issues with OAuth

[Taylor Singletary]

Hi Ap,

This is the right place for reporting issues like this -- well, one of the
right places anyway -- we have some issues with OAuth today that are related
to some wider issues related to updating objects associated with users (like
access tokens).

We hope to have this fixed soon!

Thanks,
Taylor

Re: [twitter-dev] xauth token exchange failing

[Taylor Singletary]

Hi Isaiah,

This is related to the same issue you see on status.twitter.com -- it's
effecting many user-related write operations (including, for instance,
instantiating an access token on behalf of a user). We are working to
resolve the issue.

[twitter-dev] Issues with OAuth

[ap]

I've been experiencing OAuth issues with my app today. If I'm already
logged into twitter, the OAuth redirects to my app just fine. However,
if I have to land on the authentication page and enter my username and
password and click submit, I get the following error:

Mon Jul 19 15:40:47 EDT 2010 : Twitter exception:
TwitterException{message=500:Something is broken.  Please post to the
group so the Twitter team can investigate.[Some HTML here],
statusCode=500, retryAfter=0, rateLimitStatus=null}

I'm not sure if this is the group that the message is asking me to
post in, if not, please let me know the correct group to post to so I
can get some assistance.

Thanks!

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Is Twitter oAuth broken?

[Taylor Singletary]

The current site issues that are also making updates to profiles, avatars,
and background images are to blame for the current issues around OAuth
authentication as well. We're working on relieving the problem.

Re: [twitter-dev] statuses/home_timeline.xml returning text/html instead of text/xml

Hi Everyone,

This sounds very strange. Anyone have any captures of the entire request
sequence?
  - Your HTTP headers, including acceptance headers, the full URI being
executed, etc.
  - The full response, including HTTP Headers

(as can be provided without compromising private user / app data)

Thanks!

I'm expecting 'application/json' and am suddenly getting 'text/html'.

[twitter-dev] xauth token exchange failing

[Isaiah Carew]

Hi,

I'm seeing across the board failure of xAuth token exchange for my app, Kiwi.  
The app has not changed for months and is in use by thousands of users.  So I 
don't think it's something I've done recently.

Is it related to what I'm seeing on status.twitter.com?

Is there a way to tell whether the problem is:  twitter, my IP, my app, or my 
accounts?

Is there something in the HTTP response tea leaves that can tell me more info?  
Currently I'm getting:

Status = "500 Internal Server Error";

Phew!  Thank goodness I still use HTTP Basic Auth ... ;-)

When's that supposed to be EOL'ed again?  Are we still pretending that
it's a good idea?  ;-)

It would appear that Twitter oAuth is down across the board.

We are getting 500 errors for all calls to:

http://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token

Since 18:20 UTC.

Presumably this is what is meant by the update to the issue on the
status blog:

"Update (11:20 PST, 18:20 UTC): oAuth tokens are also affected by
this; we continue to work to resolve the issue."

TwitPic, yFrog, TweetDeck - all similarly effected. Obviously very
frustrating.

Re: [twitter-dev] Are unauthenticated API calls being counted twice against rate limits?

[M. Edward (Ed) Borasky]

This issue seems to have gone away, but I'm seeing other scattered  
symptoms on unauthenticated API rate limits.


1. 150 calls per "hour" and 150 calls remaining but time remaining  
much less than 3600 seconds - I've seen values as low as 1800 seconds.
2. Occasional instances of values *greater* than 3600 for time  
remaining. Largest value I've seen is 3624 seconds.


I haven't dug into the HTTP data yet - if these things come back I will.

[twitter-dev] twurl and statuses/user_timeline.json does not seem to recognize the id parameter

[ssriram]

Hi,

I'm looking to fetch the user_timeline for various twitter users.

Testing it with twurl it seems that 'once authenticated' the id
parameter is not recognized and all calls to /statuses/
user_timeline.json with id=foo return only the authenticated users
timeline.

Testing it in an unauthenticated manner works. BUT since I plan on
calling this from a google appengine server, I presume since it is an
unauthenticated call it would be rate-limited by IP address and given
that the IP address is a google appengine one it would most likely be
rate-limited.

The other option is to grab the rss feed and not use the api call.

What would the appropriate/recommended way of proceeding be?

Thanks
S. Sriram

Desktop apps should be on User Streams, not on stream.twitter.com:

You should keep connections open as long as is practical and reduce

[twitter-dev] OAuth, Stream API, desktop apps, general question

[dalm]

I've been studying APIs and testing with toy apps; technically, it's
all working fine.

My questions, regarding a desktop app that I hope to distribute:

1) OAuth is obviously required for status updates (api.twitter.com/
POST), but what about search.twitter.com/GET of public tweets?  Do I
still need to use OAuth (e.g., so that twitter can monitor my app's
behavior)?

2) Same as (1), but for stream.twitter.com/filter ?

3) Is it Ok for desktop apps to hold stream.twitter.com connections
open for 20 minutes or so, e.g., during a group discussion?

Thanks

[twitter-dev] Re: Home_timeline and retweets

[luisg]

Well, that dont solve my problem!

If I use user_timeline I will get only the tweets and the retweets
done by me... I want that, but I want the tweets and the retweets done
by my followers (and the ones I'm following) too.

Open the following options in different tabs in your browser (imagine
your user is called XPTO):
1. login with XPTO account and go to http://twitter.com (this is
home_timeline)
2. access http://twitter.com/XPTO (this is user_timeline)

Can you see the differences now?

Basically I want home_timeline, but with the retweeted_status property
when is a retweet!

We're continuing to experiment with the feasibility of this feature, and SSL
support is one gating factor among a few others. There are future solutions
that we can envision that would obviate the need for this less-than-friendly
model.

Re: [twitter-dev] How to implement tweet functionality in orkut apps.

[Taylor Singletary]

There are a few ways to go about this, and some are easier than others. The
easier the solution, the less control you have over the experience provided.

I'll assume your Orkut application is OpenSocial-based. If you have a remote
server component to your Orkut application, you may find it easiest to
integrate with the Twitter API from the perspective of your server. You
would then issue gadgets.io.makeRequest calls to your own servers, which
would proxy the necessary requests to Twitter. This alleviates the need to
store any of your API credentials within your gadget spec.

Orkut makes OpenSocial gadget specs publicly available, so you can't use any
solution that would present your consumer secret directly within the gadget
spec.

The simplest solution is just to pre-construct a link to Twitter.com with a
status message pre-populated. This solution also gives you the least amount
of control. http://twitter.com/?status=something

There is no solution you can use where you'd have the user directly enter
their login and password into your OpenSocial application.

Another option you can look into, though you'd have some minor security
concerns, is using @Anywhere within your OpenSocial application. I haven't
personally tried @Anywhere with OpenSocial, and there are likely some
technical hurdles you'd have to overcome with targeting the proper IFRAMEs.

Finally, there's another option though I don't know how easy it is to get
the Google team to do the necessary steps. OpenSocial includes an OAuth
Proxy that requires you to pre-register your remote service (Twitter)
credentials with the social network (Orkut) and then use the OAuth proxy to
communicate without compromising your tokens in a publicly available gadget
spec.

Re: [twitter-dev] Selecting most active users to stream from a list

[John Kalucki]

The easier and far better thing to do would be to request a higher access
level for follow, and do it all via the Streaming API. This would be less
coding work for you, and less stress on our system.

[twitter-dev] update_profile_image is returning 200OK but not updating Profile Image

[Bob]

We are again seeing behaviour where update_profile_image is returning
a 200OK but the image is not updated on Twitter. This happened last
week and was fixed under Issue 1745:

http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=1745

But it has just reappeared. Behaviour is very slightly different in
that the previous profile image remains in place rather than becoming
a broken image.

Request and response shown below.

[twitter-dev] How to implement tweet functionality in orkut apps.

[Pyrocks]

HI Friends,

I am new to this twitter implementation in orkut apps.
I have a requirement in my orkut application that i have to do tweet
functionality in my application that will posted some message in his
twitter profile page from my application.

User will give his twitter user id and password  when user click
submit button some message has to be posted in his twitter profile
from my application.

I have no idea about this implementation.I want some help.

If any body knows about this please provide some information related
to that or any URL.

This is immediate requirement in my application. I am expecting
response from forum people as soon as possible.

Thanks and Regards.

[twitter-dev] Selecting most active users to stream from a list

[Seth]

I'm using tweepy to access statuses/filter. Having standard access, I
can stream 200 users in my site follow list. I'd like to stream the
200 most active users and pick up the rest with scheduled API calls.

I thought I would simply calculate the number of statuses posted
during the last month for all users in the follow list. I don't know
of any way to accomplish that. I was thinking about retrieving the the
status ID from exactly one month ago, but I can't trust my cached
statuses to represent the absolute beginning of the month. Also, the
cache is cleared when I modify my strategy for dealing with timelines
and such.

I am currently following 100 users so this isn't a problem yet. I use
PHP and MySQL... and a little python.

Hi Pascal

What I'm doing is requesting 150 per hour. I've 43 pages, so in about a week
I'll get my "almost full" backup. :D

(I've wrote a PHP script to do that automatically, of course)

Does the Congress Library have an API or some ?

Seems it's a twitter + blackberry issue.

1) Window pops up after one search in one session that I use once a

2) Annoying verbage... makes me want to not use it
3) Impatient... see it again, and I'm tossing the app
