[twitter-dev] Not able to connect to twitter API from Google Appengine
My app http://www.justunfollow.com is just not able to connect to twitter from Google Appengine. It's most probably an app engine issue (none of the app engine apps seem to be able to connect to twitter), but nevertheless I'm writing here to see if it so happened that twitter has blocked access to app engine. The error says : Could not fecth URL for http calls made to twitter from google Appengine -Nischal

Hi, Thanks for the info. We are going to limit the number of friends you can follow to 5 friends per user. So we wil need max 60.000 * 5 = 300.000 streams. We are gonna look into the access levels.

[twitter-dev] Home_timeline after tweet destroy
Hi there... I'm experience something strange, I think... If I do a tweet destroy through my application and after that I get the home_timeline with the property count=20, I'm not getting the 20 tweets that I should get. I'm getting just 19. If I do another tweet destroy and execute home_timeline again, I will get only 18... and so on... Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to force to get the 20 tweets? Thanks, Luis
Re: [twitter-dev] Home_timeline after tweet destroy
Hi Luis, I might be wrong there, but I think this is the way it works because of twitter's caching and distribution architecture. You can never assume to get the full amount of tweets or users - some might be filtered, deleted or whatnot. If you need more, just get the next page/set using cursors.

Hi Pascal, Thanks for your reply. What you mean with cursors?

Re: [twitter-dev] Home_timeline after tweet destroy
The count parameter means 'no more than', not 'exactly'. We do read-repair on home timeline status_id-based vectors as we gather the statuses. It's not practical to fan-out deletes to the materialized home timeline vector. In nearly all display cases, displaying 19 or 20 tweets is equivalent. The client is either in a loop, paging through for a since_id, or the user is likely to click more anyway. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Infrastructure, Twitter Inc.

[twitter-dev] Open Source CMS Module and Consumer Secret
I'm sorry if this has been asked before: I've written a twitter module for ClanSphere Clan CMS and I'm now converting it to use OAuth. I finally got it working, but I have question about the Consumer Secret. I registered the application under my twitter account and obtained a Consumer Key and Consumer Secret. The module is (will be) publicly available for download and webmasters just have to install the module in their own ClanSphere Clan CMS to be able to use it and make it possible for all users on their website to post tweets via that module. But, to prevent the hassle of all these webmasters, so that they not need to register an application on their own and install their own Consumer Key and Consumer Secret. How do I make it possible that every can make use of my registered application? As I understand from the name, the Consumer Secret is secret, so I should not distribute it to the community... Every user should (as access tokens currently don't expire) only need to allow my application only once, in order to be able to use the twitter module: An application would like to connect to your account The application ClanSphere Module by Mindcrime, Geh aB Clan would like the ability to access and update your data on Twitter. Not using Twitter? Sign up and Join the Conversation! ALLOW | DENY Sorry, but a lot of the webmasters, using CMS systems, don't know anything about code/PHP and are just capable of uploading some files... I would not like to think that I have to explain to them how to register the application in Twitter and change the code in the correct place... How can anyone make a public module that way? Thanks for the help...

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Retrieving new tweets for 40-60 thousand users
You cannot open 300,000 streams. First, you don't have auth tokens for all of your user's followings. Second, that would be against the access policy. Instead, you can perform this following with elevated access via the 'shadow' role on stream.twitter.com. This will allow you to follow 80,000 public accounts on a single stream. Read the section of the doc 'Updating Filter Predicates' http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_concepts#updating-filter-predicates .

Re: [twitter-dev] UnAuthorized exception
Hi George, Happy to help but just need to clarify a few things: xAuth isn't something you use when you're executing a Twitter API resource, like posting a tweet or fetching a timeline. You do use OAuth to sign the request. xAuth is just the variation of OAuth that you perform to obtain an OAuth access token. After creating a read-only application, and negotiating an access token (by xAuth or standard OAuth), that access token is also marked as read-only. After changing your app to read/write, you then need to renegotiate the access token to imbue it with read/write permissions. If you're still getting an unauthorized when trying a write (or read!) operation, than it's likely that you're not correctly generating your signature or signature base string when trying to access that resource.

[twitter-dev] Undocumented fields?
I found that statuses/friends and statuses/followers have an undocumented field called next_cursor_str and prev_cursor_str, which are simply the string values of those fields in addition to the digits passed back in next_cursor and prev_cursor. Is this planned to stay this way? (can I rely on them always being in the api?) I was working around a known json_decode bug on 32-bit machines on one of our test portables, where it could not decode the next_cursor, no big deal, but when I found the 'str' versions of the cursors I turned off the workaround. Once $id's get large enough, 32-bit machines will need json_decode to work right tooso the workaround might be needed then. Mark

[twitter-dev] Hosted proxy server service?
I've given up trying to get anything done with Twitter Search API from Google App Engine because of the rate limiting. Are there any services that provide just proxy hosting, where I can pay a few bucks a month to get a dedicated IP and proxy server running? I'd like to keep it simple and avoid the full VPS option, but it's difficult to wade through the noise when googling to see if such a service exists. Looks like most VPS providers charge $2/month for a dedicated IP. Somebody with an existing VPS could even offer such a service.

Ok... looks like there are others who received the same exception error when trying to generate an auth url.

Right now I'm trying to use Abraham's twitteroauth to output the same info. Is that possible? I looked at the class source but they are different enough to make it opaque to me. There is no equivalent setToken in twitteroauth. Does anyone know how to get twitteroauth to spill the same beans? I'm so close, and yet so far! for the intrepid, here are the async calls I'm trying to find equivalents for in twitteroauth $twitter-setToken( $_GET[oauth_token] ); $token = $twitter-getAccessToken( array( oauth_verifier = $_GET [oauth_verifier] ) ); var_dump( $token-oauth_token, $token-oauth_token_secret ); thank you Paul G On Jul 22, 2010, at 5:53 PM, Paul wrote: Hi Paul, Is there a way to retrieve the consumer keys for the other Twitter account I own without registering an app?

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Home_timeline after tweet destroy
Thanks for highlighting that this isn't clear. We'll get onto clarifying how count works and update the docs as soon as possible. In the meantime this is how count works: The count parameter tells the API request the maximum number of Tweets to return. The number of Tweets may not be exactly equal to count as we filter out deleted Tweets, Tweets by deleted users and Tweets by suspended users as the last action. If, by default, a request doesn't return retweets, those too will be filtered out. To include retweets you must provided include_rts=1 as a query parameter.

We do read-repair on home timeline status_id-based vectors as we gather the statuses. It's not practical to fan-out deletes to the materialized home timeline vector.

Re: [twitter-dev] Undocumented fields?
Hi Mark, These fields were added in January 2010 to address the problem when the cursors were too long for javascript to handle. The original announcement is on our API Announce list [1] and there are no plans to remove this functionality. Hope that helps, Matt 1. http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-api-announce/browse_thread/thread/67bacbc45a922b38?tvc=2 On Fri, Jul 23, 2010 at 8:45 AM, Mark Krieger markskrie...@gmail.comwrote: I found that statuses/friends and statuses/followers have an undocumented field called next_cursor_str and prev_cursor_str, which are simply the string values of those fields in addition to the digits passed back in next_cursor and prev_cursor. Is this planned to stay this way? (can I rely on them always being in the api?) I was working around a known json_decode bug on 32-bit machines on one of our test portables, where it could not decode the next_cursor, no big deal, but when I found the 'str' versions of the cursors I turned off the workaround. Once $id's get large enough, 32-bit machines will need json_decode to work right tooso the workaround might be needed then.

Re: [twitter-dev] Hosted proxy server service?
Setting up an open (or private) proxy in an attempt to get around our rate limits will possibly result in your application or IP being banned.

Respectively, I'm not trying to get around anything. I'm simply trying to make the Twitter Search API usable from App Engine. A proxy server has been suggested many times before by Twitter employees: - http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/29ec477464c175f7/141d26245f09d004 - http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/e8f1fe375aff50a/fc8be20a6d1b7b46 etc. That's why I ask.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Not able to connect to twitter API from Google Appengine
Hi Everyone, Here are the details on the issues with Google App Engine. Twitter blocked a portion of the GAE network because an unknown user set up a large proxy farm, forwarding large amounts of traffic to twitter.com. This was probably an attempt to avoid our rate limits, which is against the Twitter terms of service, among other privacy and security issues. We recognize that those in shared hosting environments like Google App Engine are often held hostage by the actions of their peers and will continue to investigate ways that we can deal with issues like this without necessarily cutting off all traffic from a shared hosting services, but those operating under such circumstances should be aware that this kind of blacklisting will occur from time to time. If you continue to experience issues with your Google App Engine application, please reply to this thread with a link to your application, and, if possible, the IP address from which your remote requests are originating.

Hi Taylor, I think it's almost impossible to determine the originated IP, because every time Google uses a different server to request, and in theory only the requested ends (Twitter) can see the originated IPs.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Twitter oAuth for PHP, some advice needed
Thanks Abraham.
I'm still a bit baffled, but I'm sure the origin is local, haha.
I used your testing routine with the Sign in to Twitter dialog to
try to access the account token and secret for storage. In your
redirect.php file, it does look like you are setting session vars in
there for the token and secret before the redirect to Twitter.
But it also says in your comments that those are temporary
credentials. I was confused by that, because it's my understanding
they're not supposed to expire, which is how they can be used again
for future access. Do I have that wrong? I'm looking for the
credentials that developers are storing for re-use of their user's
Twitter accounts.
Even though your redirect.php file is creating a session for the
variables, when the callback to the quick and dirty code occurs, the
variables are not accessible. I get the below notices.
br /
bNotice/b: Undefined variable: _SESSION in b/path/twittertest-

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: API problem when passing since_id
Hey Roy, Is this running on Google App Engine? We have some problems earlier today which may have been causing this for you.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: xauth token exchange failing
As far as we know this is resolved and things should be working fine. I'm not familiar with your setup so need to ask if you applied for xAuth and were granted it? If not that will be the causes of the 401. If you did what API call are you trying to make and what does your signature base string look like?

[twitter-dev] Re: Not able to connect to twitter API from Google Appengine
@John Thank you very much for lifting the ban. It's working now. Our apps depend completely on Twitter. I have been working and putting in a lot of time and effort (and money on app engine for the resources) to manage my app http://justunfollow.com My app gets a good number of users and I have been thinking of making some money off it. But, if something like this happens, all my efforts would take a beating! Can't you guys be able to determine if the app making the request is legit or not. I mean, we all use our consumer keys, at least the apps using their consumer key must be allowed to make requests. IP should come into play only when the consumer key is missing. Can this be done? -Nischal On Jul 24, 3:12 am, John Adams j...@twitter.com wrote: About thirty minutes ago we lifted all of the blocks on Google App engine IPs; You should no longer have issues connecting from GAE to us. -j On Fri, Jul 23, 2010 at 3:06 PM, Marco Gomes mvtgo...@gmail.com wrote: I am with same problema, DownloadError: ApplicationError: 2 On both my GAE apps: http://apoiomaisfeliz.appspot.com/ http://apoio.minhamarina.org.br/ Can Twitter API block the proxy farm without stopping our permitted apps?

Twitter blocked a portion of the GAE network because an unknown user set up a large proxy farm, forwarding large amounts of traffic to twitter.com. This was probably an attempt to avoid our rate limits, which is against the Twitter terms of service, among other privacy and security issues. We recognize that those in shared hosting environments like Google App Engine are often held hostage by the actions of their peers and will continue to investigate ways that we can deal with issues like this without necessarily cutting off all traffic from a shared hosting services, but those operating under such circumstances should be aware that this kind of blacklisting will occur from time to time.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Twitter oAuth for PHP, some advice needed
Hello Paul,
In redirect.php the request token (also called temporary credentials) are
one use. After the user returns from twitter.com having authorized the
application they are exchanged for an access token from Twitter which is
long lasting and what you are after.
If the request token is not being saved/retrieved from sessions properly you
can print it and the authenticate URL in redirect.php instead of
automatically redirecting. Copy/paste the authenticate url into a browser
window and authorize the app to access the user account. Then you can
manually put the request token into the quick and dirty code instead of
pulling from a session. Keep in mind that you can only use the request token
once so if you don't print the access token the first time you will have to
do it all again.

Thanks Abraham.
I'm still a bit baffled, but I'm sure the origin is local, haha.
I used your testing routine with the Sign in to Twitter dialog to try to
access the account token and secret for storage. In your redirect.php
file, it does look like you are setting session vars in there for the token
and secret before the redirect to Twitter.
But it also says in your comments that those are temporary credentials. I
was confused by that, because it's my understanding they're not supposed to
expire, which is how they can be used again for future access. Do I have
that wrong? I'm looking for the credentials that developers are storing
for re-use of their user's Twitter accounts.
Even though your redirect.php file is creating a session for the variables,
when the callback to the quick and dirty code occurs, the variables are not
accessible. I get the below notices.

bNotice/b: Undefined variable: _SESSION in

Any advice for keeping hope alive? :)

This is quick and dirty and assumes that oauth_token and oauth_token_secret
are set in a session before you are redirected to twitter.com to authorize
the application.
$connection = new TwitterOAuth(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET,

$access_token = $connection-getAccessToken($_REQUEST['oauth_verifier']);

Are there any services that provide just proxy hosting, where I can pay a few bucks a month to get a dedicated IP and proxy server running? I'd like to keep it simple and avoid the full VPS option, but it's difficult to wade through the noise when googling to see if such a service exists. Looks like most VPS providers charge $2/month for a dedicated IP. Somebody with an existing VPS could even offer such a service.
