[twitter-dev] usage of xAuth
Hi, We have a server which inturn interacts with multiple devices each of which has our app running on them. Our server directly interacts with twitter to post messages coming from all these devices. So can our server use xAuth for authentication? I had this doubt because its been mentioned in this link http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth_overview that xAuth is to be used for single user apps(mobile/desktop). Does this mean that our server will be considered as a web app or something and hence xAuth wont be supported?

[twitter-dev] Problems Loading Profile Images
Anyone noticing problems loading profile images (slow, no image returned, hanging...)? Seems to show up mostly on Public and Search endpoints.
[twitter-dev] Whitelist confirmation . . .
Hello, this is a followup message to the previous post at http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/36a11ab23b42f22/48c15312a2aab773?lnk=gst&q=hkimscil#48c15312a2aab773 . I am not still getting a confirmation for whitelist; and beginning to think that I may not be approved :( . And I am worried about not clarifying enough about my research work to the twitter. What I am trying to do is not builidn applications or services; Rather, want to gather some data (tweets and retweets messages with specific topics) in order to see how messages are diffused and how they are possibly categorised or classified (if any, SEARCH API); and how they are compared to agenda set by traditional mass media such as newspapers and television. I am also interested in what kinds of social relations exists in the message diffusion processes (REST API). I have setup about 20 computers in order to collect necessary data -- so that I don't have to use APIs for a long period of time. I have setup the brief explanation about my research at http://wiki.commres.org/Project~Twitter I would appreciate if anyone shed a light on what I went wrong (if I did while requesting) and give some advice on how to persuade the twitter for putting me on the whitelist.
[twitter-dev] Re: A feed greater equivalent to the old gardenhose?
This is kind of a bummer. I just recently started using the gardenhose feed so comparing what is now available to what was available at gardenhose launch really doesn't satisfy me (and I suspect others). I started to build around the 6-8k/minute stream and this reduction to 2k/minute is definitely a hamper. I suppose it's just another challenge to develop around and I totally see your guys issue with consuming a load of bandwidth as you stream this data to developers without any compensation (as a side note, it'd be awesome to see graphs of incoming and outgoing bandwidth utilization at Twitter split up into pieces [streams, API, updates, etc.] - but then that may be competitive info you don't want to share). But with that, it would have been nice to have gotten a little heads up about the impending reduction rather than an explanation after the fact. I know there are a lot of moving parts over there but as with everything else Twitter does that impacts developers, a little notice about changes would help all of us adapt more effectively to the changing availability of data and connections. Regardless, thanks for the effort and dialog. If you guys are just being held up by not having a new name for the feed, may I propose renaming spritzer to drinking-straw and gardenhose to spray-faucet. Then you can use spritzer for the next level and gardenhose for the level just under firehose. That's one problem solved. :-) Sanjay

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Issues with OAuth
Hey Kostya,
I've taken a quick look at your POST headers and noticed a couple of things:
1) Whilst it shouldn't matter the streaming API can be very particular about
the headers you send so I recommend you quote your OAuth values,
e.g. oauth_nonce="Rb34D3rVEetj"
2) Your OAuth token looks like a consumer token rather than a user one. Are
you authenticating against the streaming API using your user token and
secret?
Hope that helps,
Matt

Kostya, the streaming API OAuth implementation should not have been affected. Are you still seeing these issues?

Hi Kostya,
I'm unable to reproduce your issue, unfortunately. Are you still getting a
500 error when trying to connect to streaming via OAuth? Have you tried
using a different access token or even API key? Does the same code/keys work
against the REST API?

Re: [twitter-dev] Access personal Twitter direct messages from PHP script
Hi Khachik, For single-user applications like this, we've made it particularly easy to retrieve an access token for your own account -- on dev.twitter.com/appsjust navigate to the details page of your application and select the "My Token" button on the right-hand sidebar. This will provide you an access token and access token secret which you can then hard code into your application. Additionally, we have some helpful code samples for working with the Twitter API from the starting point of already having an access token here: http://bit.ly/1token By going this route, you'll only have to implement the signing part of the OAuth spec rather than the entire token exchange/acquisition flow.

[twitter-dev] Access personal Twitter direct messages from PHP script
Hello, I'm a newbie using Twitter API and I need to write a PHP script, which will deal with direct messages (read and create new messages) at my own Twitter account. No authorization required for other users - only access to my own account. I checked API docs as well as oAuth implementations in PHP, but they seems to be a bit complex for my understanding Is there a simple way to access personal direct messages from PHP app (preferably without redirecting to the Twitter site to enter the password)? Any example or link will be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: A feed greater equivalent to the old gardenhose?
It's ~1% and ~5%, for some meaning of percent that doesn't mean exactly percent. The algorithm is documented on dev.twitter.com, although the values are stale. Please note that at least a year ago, I wrote: Sampling proportions are subject to continuous unannounced refinement. Our goal is to provide useful low-latency samples without overwhelming clients or incurring excessive delivery cost. In particular, we reserve the right to alter the sampling proportion as overall traffic grows to keep the sampled feeds practical. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Infrastructure, Twitter Inc.

Re: [twitter-dev] Method statuses/filter from Streaming API return only incoming tweets and no updates
Hello Rostand, I did my master's thesis using twitter data. My recommendation: - You can not will not and should not get DMs. They are *private*. Even if you do a closed study with 300 consenting people, it's unethical. If you're in the US, the ethics committee of your university will have you for lunch. - Using the stream is easier because the API requires OAUTH, but you will need to apply and wait. However, the API will give you historical data. - Coding your software will take more time than you think! --- SUMMARY Use an external service instead! There are several people who can collect tweets for you. Have a look at: http://140kit.com/ http://www.contextminer.org/ Good luck!

Re: [twitter-dev] Method statuses/filter from Streaming API return only incoming tweets and no updates
Without an authentication token for a user, there's no way to get their DMs and other private and protected information. Follow gives you tweets and retweets by those users, not tweets bound for those user's timelines. You can use track to find mentions, including replies. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Infrastructure Twitter, Inc.

[twitter-dev] Method statuses/filter from Streaming API return only incoming tweets and no updates
Hi All, I need for master research project the public timeline of approx 300 users. That is, all the outgoing messages (updates, retweets.., DM) + all incoming messages (replies, @user...). I first thought that the option 'follow' from the Streaming API following will do. http://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json?follow=3004231 But I just discovered that I get only the incoming tweets and not the outgoing ones. Is this correct? Any workaround this ? Suggestion It is king of urgent. Any quick reaction will be appreciated Greetings Rostand

Neither fixed the problem. Still getting the 401 error. I know OAuth

We've got a somewhat confusing setup right now in this area, admittedly.
For most purposes, the twitter.com app registration area should be thought
of as deprecated. Though that area doesn't display the correct paths for
OAuth operations, assume that you should be using the api subdomain.
As for the setting for "Sign in with Twitter" -- we managed to not provide
that toggle on the dev.twitter.com app registration setup -- you can
re-enable it on the (deprecated) twitter.com app area.
Way less than optimal, but it's the way it is at the moment.
Issues with saving/creating apps should be just about resolved now as well.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: A feed greater equivalent to the old gardenhose?

There are only two sampled rates on the Streaming API: Spritzer and Gardenhose. There are no other sampled rates available without a code change. We're having discussions about these sampled feeds, but the current settings are the maximum that we can provide at the moment.

Re: [twitter-dev] Retrieving new tweets for 40-60 thousand users
Is this a server application (Software as a Service) or do you want this to run on a desktop? If you deployed it as a desktop application, you could use the User Streams capability. The nice thing about User Streams is that you get more than just messages when someone you're following tweets - you get many other events, and you can track by keyword and location as well. -- M. Edward (Ed) Borasky http://borasky-research.net http://twitter.com/znmeb "A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems." - Paul Erdos Quoting PBro : Hi, We are developing an application with which we want to give a message to a user that one of his friends has posted a new tweet. This application is expected to have 40-60 thousand users, so separate api-call's isn't the best option. What would you advise as best practice for retrieving new tweets of a user's friends for this much users? Patrick

I think I might have answered my own question. It seems when I created the new app registration I forgot to check the box at the bottom which says to use Twitter for login.

[twitter-dev] oAuth down again?
oAuth was working a few hours ago, I'm pretty sure it's down again. To avoid having us guess, can Twitter have a link to a page to give us up to the date status?
[twitter-dev] Twitter OAuth Problem
Hi, I have been using Abraham's OAuth library and I *almost* have it working. I'm a longtime C++ developer but new to Twitter API. Anyway, it took me a while to use the callback.php file as the actual call back. That (I thought) was the missing element, I was under the impression that the "test.php" file in his library could be substituted for the callback. Anyway when I realized the mistake I was happy to implement the new code. The new callback is being called but I am consistently getting HTTP Error Code 401 (unauthorized) when it is being used, and I am using it basically "as is". Any insight would be appreciated. Note - I did regenerate my application registration recently - how long does it take for those credentials to be usable? Thanks much. -Gabe
Re: [twitter-dev] 500 error when requesting access token
Taylor, thanks. No changes to my code, but it's suddenly working. Maybe some API hiccups that got resolved on your end...
Re: [twitter-dev] 500 error when requesting access token
Hi Ryan, oauth_verifier is always required on the access token step in the OAuth 1.0a protocol, regardless of oauth_callback matching a pre-registered one or not. We'll pass the oauth_verifier to you on your callback step which you then need to send along with your access token request. You may find it easier to debug OAuth issues if you use HTTP Headers to authenticate instead of attaching parameters to the query string. If you're still having issues, I would recommend sharing the full URI you are executing, the HTTP method, the signature base string you've generated for the request, and all parameters you are sending with the request (excluding any secrets).

[twitter-dev] 500 error when requesting access token
Having trouble with the OAuth process at the point where my callback requests the access token. Since the callback URL matches the one in my app settings, I did not think passing back the oauth_verifier was needed. But I get this error in XML: '"1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> /oauth/access_token? oauth_consumer_key=VkiB3AfQh6BWz6JTcFPHzg', 'amp;oauth_nonce' => 'a30511ba69dc30b600b48d39e0aa880e', 'amp;oauth_signature' => 'NPdMqVXLXCcfEwQfhh+48hne7p4=', 'amp;oauth_signature_method' => 'HMAC-SHA1', 'amp;oauth_timestamp' => '1279646107', 'amp;oauth_token' => 'uakv65JDkQrjGzyZP7RbazyHKKspywp0SJMbzmb4Co', 'amp;oauth_version' => '1.0 Invalid oauth_verifier parameter Cool. Now, when I try passing the oauth_verifier Twitter comes back with a non-descript 500 error page in HTML. Not very helpful. Any help?

[twitter-dev] is search results reduction permanent
Hi, I understand Twitter reduced api search results by a factor of 10 and is asking developers to migrate to Streaming API for large scale search queries. Is this decision to alter search results permanent? If no, is there a time-frame when this decision will be reversed?

Re: [twitter-dev] Find all mentions
The best way to do this is to take a higher level of Streaming API access, then compute and persist the results on your end. For example, if you take a feed of all Retweets, or the full Firehose, you can perform retweet calculations for all public users.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Issues with OAuth
Hi Kostya,
I'm able to connect to the streaming API over OAuth fine at the moment.
Can you share the full URL, HTTP method, and parameters that you are trying
to access? If possible, also your signature base string?

[twitter-dev] Find all mentions
Using the GET statuses/mentions request I can return all the @mentions and RT's for the authenticating user. The API documentation says that no authentication is required, but since there is no user ID parameter I can see that it does in fact require authentication (reading the forums have confirmed this I think). Does anyone know of a way to get the # of mentions and RTs for a user ID within a timeframe (i.e. last 30 days)? Using the Search API I can get some results in json... but it seems to be only returning the last 8 or so mentions. Does anyone know how applications like Klout are getting these stats? (http://klout.com/uschles/score shows 267 mentions and 63 retweets). I'm sure they are still only accurate within a certain timeframe but I'm curious as to how they're getting these stats at all without authentication from the user. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Sachin
[twitter-dev] Re: Issues with OAuth
Taylor,
Has Sreaming API OAuth been affected ?
Authenticating with the following oauth header gives 500 to me:
"OAuth oauth_nonce=N9wgHt2uPw8HqRwtOpjuVDSeuVYmc8UGDF8H0237v0,
oauth_signature=ALUT7tKXK%2Fw57SnJulj8x1l%2F7%2Fk%3D,

oauth_token=tnruTl8uNRwGvICnzYpww, oauth_version=1.0"
Is it Streaming API OAuth issue?
Thanks,

Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter account representing an application
Hi, For a single login scenario like this, it's likely easiest to just use the "My Token" feature we have on the developer portal -- go to http://dev.twitter.com/apps and select your application (or create one if you need to), then when viewing your application's details page, select the "My Token" link from the right-hand side bar. This will give you the access token and access token secret for your account for that application -- basically, what you would end up with had you done the entire OAuth song & dance. With these two components, you only need to build the OAuth signing process into your application, which would be pretty easy when done in conjunction with an OAuth library.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: A feed greater equivalent to the old gardenhose?
Brian is correct. There are only two sampled rates on the Streaming API: Spritzer and Gardenhose. There are no other sampled rates available without a code change. We're having discussions about these sampled feeds, but the current settings are the maximum that we can provide at the moment. Note that even at this reduced setting, the Gardenhose is several times larger in absolute volume than it was at launch. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Infrastructure, Twitter Inc.

[twitter-dev] Twitter account representing an application
If I have an application that will be tweeting (always through its dedicated Twitter account) every now and then, do I have to make this application perform the whole OAuth handshake every time the token expires? It would have to post username and password to the Twitter log in form too I guess, since there will be no human interaction. Or is there a way for an application to get a secret key that it can use to post on behalf of a single Twitter account?

I was just told by Brian Sutorius that in fact it's not possible to acquire a feed equal to the old gardenhose (let's say roughly 15%).
