[twitter-dev] rendering user profile in iFrame

2010-10-07 Thread Alex 
Hi,
I'm working on a web application and would like to render a user's
Twitter profile page in an iFrame.

For some reason the profiles are not working, and I'm guessing you
have added some type of code to prevent this from happening?

Is there a reason why this is not allowed or a way I can enable it?

Thank you.

I'm seeing this problem too, but it only started today, around five
hours ago. Here's an example search: 
http://search.twitter.com/search?q=near%3Aedmonton

That's returning a fraction of the tweets it was before. This problem
happens occasionally, but not usually for this long.

[twitter-dev] Re: How to test for one user following another

2010-10-07 Thread Norhidayah Azman 
Sometimes it's the case of simply the URL parser not recognizing the
'&' sign!

I tried using a couple of Python clients to make requests which need
more than one parameter -- thus needing the '&' sign in the API
request URL -- but the clients just break, giving me the same 'Target
user not specified' error.

Try formulating your request URL in your web browser first (requesting
XML output preferably), with example screen names for
source_screen_name and target_screen_name. If you're getting a correct
response from the web browser, then that means your client needs
tweaking to accept multiple parameters.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: How to test for one user following another

2010-10-07 Thread Thomas Mango 
I apologize, I was actually saying that you should specify both the 
source and the target. It was my understanding you needed both, but it 
looks like when you make an authenticated request (like you do with 
twurl), you can specify just the target.


With that said, I was able to use twurl and specify only the target and 
get it to work:


twurl "/friendships/show.xml?target_screen_name=Alternate1985"

This used my authenticated user, @tsmango, as the source and gave me the 
proper response. Is that what your twurl call looked like?


Also, if you don't quote the query, you'll have problems with multiple 
parameters:


This one works:
twurl 
"/friendships/show.xml?source_screen_name=samvermette&target_screen_name=Alternate1985"


But this one fails with the error you were receiving:
twurl 
/friendships/show.xml?source_screen_name=samvermette&target_screen_name=Alternate1985


Hope that helps and sorry again for the confusion about needed to 
specify the source.

That's right from Twurl despite the fact that I provided both the
source_screen_name and target_screen_name.

Besides, why shouldn't the other two methods work?  They are
documented methods.

You should be providing both the source and a target user to the

You can use source_id & target_id or source_screen_name & 
target_screen_name with /friendships/show.

[twitter-dev] Using a custom icon for the Twitter "Tweet" button

2010-10-07 Thread rosco 
Hi there,

I want to use the same functionality as the Twitter "Tweet" button
displayed here http://twitter.com/goodies/tweetbutton

The only change I want to make is to use a custom icon that we have
created, rather than the button image displayed. Is it possible to
change the image, and if so, how can I do it?

Hi,

Yes, another user reported this as a workaround too, I'd still like

[twitter-dev] Woe is me, I can't seek what I find (or Search is failing me)

2010-10-07 Thread @IDisposable 
Over the last couple months, we've seen some wierd behavior in the
responses to search queries. First, I understand the rules about
search being non-covering, and that we are at the mercy of the index.
That said, I've noticed some odd behavior lately.  As background
material, we run many searches (and we're white-listed by IP and OAuth
account), but the two I want to reference are the Mentions and the
Location searches.

The Mentions search seems pretty stable and uses this typical search
(and then we exclude a bunch of things like Bay St. Louis, etc.):
http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?rpp=100&q=stl+OR+%23stl+OR+stlouis+OR+%22St+Louis%22+OR+%22St.+Louis%22+OR+%22Saint+Louis%22+OR+SaintLouis&since_id=26682507745

The Location search has been VERY unstable, and uses this typical

http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?rpp=100&geocode=38.627522%2C-90.19841%2C30mi&since_id=26679538876

As the day progresses, we move up the high-water mark in the since_id
to track what we've already received so we should be getting minimal
gaps. We almost never see two 100-entry polls in a row, so I think
we're keeping up with whatever coverage the search index is offering.

I've posted in a Google Spreadsheet a graph of the tweet counts we're
seeing since 7/1/2010 so you can see the trends  http://bit.ly/9wnnFM
(sheet two is the graph).  Some interesting things to note:

1) The Mentions search is very consistent.
2) The Location search likes to bounce around a bit.
3) In mid August, we started to have issues with more 403s and error
about since_id being too old. We were also getting rate-limited in our
calls to get the tweep details (since the ATOM feed is so meager). Due
to a bug, I wasn't committing all the tweets when this happened.
4) On or about Sept 1st, you guys did something that broke our ability
to stay caught up... we started getting almost no tweets and lots of
errors about since_id being too old. I thought this was due to your
"new tweet id" assignment being rolled out.
5) On Sept 5th, I got back from vacation and added logic to understand
and use the "no new tweets, roll the tweet id forward to this" driven
by parsing the  node in the ATOM feed.
6) I also, around this time, added better logic to the tweep-lookup
detail, only asking you for tweeps I don't have at least a minimal row
on. This reduced the number of rate-limiting issues.
7) We were very stable and until 9/23 when volume falls off a lot, and
never really recovers. I think this is the "new search" engine
rollout.

To research a little more, I tried the Twitter advanced search page
and asking for the RSS (atom, really) feed from the advanced search
page I get this URL now:
http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?geocode=38.627522,-90.19841,30.0mi&lang=en&q=+near:38.627522,-90.19841+within:30mi

Which starts off like ours, but adds the (seemingly redundant) human-
readable search criteria "&q=+near:38.627522,-90.19841+within:30mi".

Oddly, if we remove that and do the same search at nearly the same
instant, I DO get vastly different tweets sets... probably due to
volume, possibly just sorting, but I would hope that with the same
since_id value, I would get the same tweets... but I don't.

So, I'm asking... what's going on?
Why are we seeing so much volume fall-off?
What can we do about it?
Should I be running both searches (my current one and one with the
human-readable query) to get better coverage?
Is there any hope/expectation of the volume returning to normal?
Doesn't anyone else care about tweep-location searches?

Now, before you tell me that I should be using Site Streams (which I
want to do), realize that I _NEED_ tweets from people whose profile
location says they are in St. Louis (and similar) like the old Summize
search honored. I can't just get by with the _tweet_ location being
STL.

Hi,

because I'm using the same library and was not finding the same
problems when connecting to site streams I looked for what I was doing
differently: Turns out, if one URL encodes the komma in the follow

Re: [twitter-dev] status/update in_reply_to_user_id not being acknowledged

2010-10-07 Thread Taylor Singletary 
With as often as this comes up, it's obvious that we aren't communicating
this clearly and the historical aspect of this isn't obvious:

An @reply requires that it begins with the @username of the user being
replied to. The in_reply_to_status_id field is not enough to associate the
tweets as a reply -- the username must also be present.

Also: When using a POST method, don't include your fields/parameters on the
query string. Instead, put them in the POST body. You may find someday that
passing such parameters on the query string just stops working.

[twitter-dev] status/update in_reply_to_user_id not being acknowledged

2010-10-07 Thread Matthew 
Hello,

Been working on a project that will allow users to reply to tweets. I
am having difficulty in getting the 'in_reply_to_message_id' to be
acknowledged. I have been using the latest version of Abraham's
TwitterOAuth library, also confirmed the problem through apigee.

Example request (over POST):
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/update.json?in_reply_to_status_id=26673308442&status=looks
like its not working for apigee either

I can confirm the in_reply_to_status_id message is a message I posted
earlier.
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/show/26673308442.json


I get a response back from twitter with field populated except with
"in_reply_to_status_id" : null.
Is there currently a glitch in the twitterapi, or am I using this
function improperly?


Thanks in advance!

Re: [twitter-dev] Use twitterapi.update method to my own account via .net web app without human intervention

2010-10-07 Thread Thomas Mango 
You should save the oauth access key/secret you get for the account you 
want to post to (if it's your application's account, you can get the 
access keys from the application's page on dev.twitter.com). You can 
then use your client key/secret and user access key/secret to make calls 
to the API on that user's behalf without them logging into an actual 
session of your application.


This page is a good overview of OAuth:

I'm wondering if my browser settings are messed up.  I also had to

Sorry for asking all these questions, but what is the sample endpoint?
Does it contain real tweets or just some sample tweets for testing
purposes only?

2010-10-07 Thread M. Edward (Ed) Borasky 
Real time tracking is best done with Streaming, but can be done with  
Search. Historical search back in time is done only with Search and  
only covers the indexed tweets that Twitter makes available.  
"Long-term" historical search can be done with Topsy, but I'm not  
familiar with the details.

What I want is to monitor Twitter and every time someone uses certain

Hi

Anyone know how to sign up as a developer.  I've tried the API link
and it takes me to the "Developer sign in" page. My regular
credentials do't work here and I've not seen a link to register as a
developer.

If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

2010-10-07 Thread Matt Harris 
Hi Jan,

There isn't an API method that will return all replies for a Tweet
yet. It's on the list of enhancements requested by the community
though.

You may see some developers mention the related_tweets method as an
option. This method isn't generally available yet and, as the name
suggests, returns only related tweets (rather than guaranteed
replies).

Hope that answers your question,

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Find tweets by application?

2010-10-07 Thread Matt Harris 
Hey Fredrik,

In your example you are adding the source operator as a querystring
parameter on it's own. Instead it should be part of the search query.

For example:
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=oredev%20source%3Atweetnote

One of the ways I find helps when creating search queries is to test
the query on the search.twitter.com website first. If it works I then
copy the URL and add the format I want between the /search and ?.

Re: [twitter-dev] GET Querystring for status update not working on new Twitter

2010-10-07 Thread Matt Harris 
Hi woodsytime,

I wanted to add in here that if you URL encode the URL you are trying
to share it will work appropriately. Instead of what you have I would
expect the URL to look like this:

http://twitter.com/home?status=ASOS%20embellished%20dress%20http%3A%2F%2Fwww.asos.com%2Fpgehtml.aspx%3Fcid%3D8745%26affId%3D2833

One known issue right now is that %26 is converted to & in #newtwitter
so anything after it is ignored. The team is aware of this and it is
being tracked here:
http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=1904

To second what Taylor said, consider using the Tweet Button instead of
the URL. It provides a better experience for your users and allows
them to Tweet without leaving your site.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: User Streaming API and use of OAuth from web browser

2010-10-07 Thread Thomas Mango 
xAuth is actually for exchanging usernames and passwords for OAuth keys. 
In the end, all of your requests are still using OAuth.


More about xAuth:

Hi,

We are building an application client that is browser based.  We're
very comfortable with using OAuth from our server side code and are
using it fine with the REST API (users sign in, authenticate with
Twitter, we store their access tokens and reuse as requested - at the
moment we mimic the required Twitter API on our server and when a user
does something like a POST, we call our stub, use their token to then
make the call via OAuth to Twitter).

So far so good, but we'd like to implement User Streaming directly
into the client side application.

I've been browsing the Twitter Development documentation and there's a
couple of points I'd like clarification on:

*http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth_overviewsays Streaming supports
Basic and OAuth.

*http://dev.twitter.com/pages/user_streamssays that the user streams
supports OAuth only "HTTPS, OAuth and JSON only".  No problems here, I
just raise it to point out the auth_overview doco is slightly out of
date.

*http://dev.twitter.com/pages/oauth_librariestalks about a JS
library but says "Javascript really shouldn't be used for OAuth 1.0A
with respect to websites in web browsers. Ideally, you'll only use
Javascript to perform OAuth operations when using server-side."

The points I'd like some clarification on:

1. Given user_streams API is the intended way for clients to access
Twitter going forwards, I presume it's intended not just for desktop,
but also web clients too?
2. If 1 is correct, then is it OK to use JavaScript for the OAuth?  If
it's not, what is the recommended approach for a client side web
application to connect and authenticate to the user_stream?

Thanks,

What? Absolutely not. Desktop applications are already an unsafe way of
using OAuth, and JavaScript is even worse. You'd be exposing your Client
Secret which is against the "rules".

2010-10-07 Thread Tiago Teresa Teodosio 
Yes, I noticed a lot of 500 error codes in API responses, while trying
to post tweet on behalf of my users, from 2010-10-07 16:41:53 UTC until
2010-10-07 16:58:25 UTC.

2010-10-07 Thread Eric T. Peterson 
We are seeing same at Twitalyzer. Seems to be isolated to the search
API but we haven't had a chance to dig in.

The problems seem to be correlated to Twitter's announcement of the
new search platform as well.  Anyone else seeing lower rate limits on
the search API last few days?

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Is authentication required to use Streaming API?

2010-10-07 Thread Taylor Singletary 
Hi D,

There are a few different levels of the streaming API. You can use the
sample endpoint without any kind of approval from Twitter, using a Twitter
account under your control for login.

Access beyond the sample end point requires approval -- the process for
approval begins at http://twitter.com/help/request_streaming

When getting familiar with the streaming API it's best to take a crawl ->
walk -> run approach. "Crawling" is using the sample stream, "walking" is
moving up to garden hose, and "running" is going beyond.

I'm confused now. Which API should I use Streaming or Search?
What I want is to monitor Twitter and every time someone uses certain
words (maybe a total of about 20 words that I want to monitor
continuously), I want to show the tweet on the screen (or record it

Should I use search api or streaming api?

[twitter-dev] Invalid / expired Token

2010-10-07 Thread Don Neumann 
I'm trying to use the latest twitter-async libraries and can't get
this to work at all. I've registered an application and have the
consumer key and consumer secret and am using some simple code:

include 'epitwitter/EpiOAuth.php';
include 'epitwitter/EpiCurl.php';
include 'epitwitter/EpiTwitter.php';

$twit = new EpiTwitter($consumer_key, $consumer_secret);
$resp = $twit->post_statusesUpdate(array('status' => 'foo'));

And I get this:
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught exception
'EpiTwitterNotAuthorizedException' with message '{"request":"/1/
statuses/update.json","error":"Invalid / expired Token"}' in []:
255

I was using an oauth token and secret which twitter gave me before but
that is unusable now..

Re: [twitter-dev] GET Querystring for status update not working on new Twitter

2010-10-07 Thread Taylor Singletary 
Hi there woodsytime,

I'd recommend using a Tweet Button for this kind of integration instead --
your approach is kind of the most "low rent" approach you can take for this,
and is less and less supported -- really, it's a hack.

The URL you're presenting in your status update has an unencoded question
mark.

But even if you properly encoded it, it doesn't look like this kind of URL
is passable in this way. Bug on our end? Maybe.

What's the context that users would share this URL? Have you considered the
Tweet Button?

I noticed that even with all of those query parameters, the page you're
posting still redirects to the site's home page. What value do the links
have to Twitter users who post, read, or click?

[twitter-dev] GET Querystring for status update not working on new Twitter

2010-10-07 Thread woodsytime 
I need to update my status through an external link using the GET
method.

For example...the linked I would like to pass into the browser URL
querystring is...

http://twitter.com/home?status=ASOS%20embellished%20dress%20http://www.asos.com/pgehtml.aspx?cid%3D8745&affId%3D2833

This has been working, however, I'm using the updated version of
Twitter as of today, and this way of updating my status is not working
now?

It seems to stop at the '=' sign (escape character %3D) in the 'cid
%3D8745' part of the querystring towards the end.

Any suggestions?

[twitter-dev] Re: Miscellaneous #newtwitter glitches

2010-10-07 Thread M. Edward (Ed) Borasky 

Quoting "M. Edward (Ed) Borasky" :


2. There's some kind of Javascript / CSS issue with the left panel in
Chrome / Chromium 7. Everything is cool in Firefox 3.6, and I haven't
tried older versions of Chrome. I'm not quite sure how to reproduce
this reliably yet, but sometimes, when I'm following a trail into the
right panel, when I have the mouse in the right panel, the left panel
goes completely black. If I move the mouse back into the left panel, it
comes back, but slowly - like it's running some kind of intensive
Javascript to repaint or making a bunch of API calls to refill a
buffer. I'm a total Javascript / CSS / DOM ignoramus, so if someone has
some clues as to how I can diagnose this in the Chrome / Chromium
debugger, let me know.

3. A related phenomenon - I went to @scobleizer and opened up a tweet.
When I moused back into the *left* panel, the left one went blank,
exposing the background! But when I mouse back into the right panel,
the left one came back rapidly. Again, this is on Chrome / Chromium.


I have quite a bit more on "these". First of all, it is one issue, not  
two. They symptom is


   a. View a timeline in the left panel - this appears to be any timeline.
   b. Click on the arrow to open a tweet in the right panel. *If* the  
tweet is tagged with a location, the timeline in the left panel  
disappears and you see only the background. When I do it on my  
timeline, I see "black" - actually a semi-transparent dark grey. On  
@scobleizer, the background is different. The key is that both of us  
have location turned on - it's something tied to the display of the  
little map for the tweet in the right panel.
   c. Move the mouse into the right panel - the timeline display  
comes back! Move the mouse back into the left panel and the timeline  
disappears, leaving you with the background. But wait! There's more!
   d. There's a scrollbar on the right of the browser. This is the  
*browser* scrollbar, not the scrollbar "in" the right panel. When I  
pull the browser scrollbar down, the little map tied to the tweet  
stays where it is and the whole page moves up underneath it! If I pull  
the scrollbar down far enough, I see the background and the little map  
and a few other things only - everything else on the page disappeared  
to the top.


Again, this is only on Chrome or Chromium 7.0, developer builds - it  
works fine on Firefox. So I'm willing to call it a Chrome problem - I  
can post this on the Chrome help forum if you'd like. ;-)

Re: [twitter-dev] Can I tell how many tweets have been made by users of my app?

2010-10-07 Thread Taylor Singletary 
There's no way to track how many tweets your application has sent currently,
save for tracking it yourself. The Search API does provide some facilities
for searching by application source, but does not contain all tweets in the
system. Also, tweets created by an application is not necessarily the
best/only signal of its usage.

[twitter-dev] Re: Related Tweets and HTTP 406 error

2010-10-07 Thread Rich 
Yeah thats fine, actually it works fine if you change it to JSON, it's
only the XML endpoint that seems to be broken, but seeing as all other
status api's have both JSON and XML I would hope this would too

I'm not familiar with that error yet, but will look into it.

Related results, and a number of the other new APIs, are still relatively
unstable. They will be unavailable at times, and are not necessarily
prepared for widespread use yet. Early adopters will have to tolerate a
certain amount of mystery from them.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: xAuth - sometimes success response, sometimes Error-response

2010-10-07 Thread Taylor Singletary 
Can you share some examples of your requests? I know it's difficult when
we're dealing in logins and passwords, but if you obfuscate your consumer
secret and login/password and provide an example of both a functional and
non-functional request, we'll be able to help you best.

By example I mean: The signature base string generated before creating the
signature, the HTTP request you are sending including headers, exact request
location, POST body, and the response.

If you share code, that's good also. Lots of folks here are good at spotting
minor problems.

Thanks,
Taylor

[twitter-dev] The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized. + asp.net

2010-10-07 Thread Mansi 
I have to post text on Twitter through my web site.
For that I've created one application on Twitter. And have done all
the related changes in site source code.

I am using .net Framework 2.0.

But having issue while redirecting to Twitter
(oAuth.AuthorizationLinkGet()).
It throws bug The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized
in below code. (oAuthTwitter.cs file)
  public string WebResponseGet(HttpWebRequest webRequest)
{
StreamReader responseReader = null;
string responseData = "";

try
{
responseReader = new
StreamReader(webRequest.GetResponse().GetResponseStream()); //HERE IT
THROWS EXCEPTION.
responseData = responseReader.ReadToEnd();
}
catch
{
throw;
}
finally
{
webRequest.GetResponse().GetResponseStream().Close();
responseReader.Close();
responseReader = null;
}

return responseData;
}



What causes this bug? And what is the solution?

[twitter-dev] Rate limiting Retry-After in Flash

2010-10-07 Thread Philip Bulley 
It's not possible to access HTTP Response Headers in web-based
Flash :'(

Therefore web-based Flash applications have no chance of honouring the
seconds in the "Retry-After" header when rate limited using the Search
API (http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=foo).

Would it be possible for twitter to modify the output XML to include
this value?

The current output is not very useful at all:



  You have been rate limited. Enhance your calm.

The credentials are the same. It will only generate a new nonce and

[twitter-dev] Related Tweets and HTTP 406 error

2010-10-07 Thread Rich 
Hi

I'm trying to implement the related tweets feature, and the screen
name I'm testing from does have access to #newtwitter as described in
the pinned post at the top.

The URL I'm trying is
http://api.twitter.com/1/related_results/show/26630532248.xml?include_rts=true&count=20&include_entities=true
but whenever I call it I get an HTTP 406 error back.

Can anyone shed some light on what might be causing it?

Richard
