[twitter-dev] Getting twitter user through email address
Hello, is it possible, using the twitter api, to get a twitter user through his email - searching for user by email? i know that the user/ show method was able to do it, but now the email parameter has been deprecated. any thoughts? -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk
[twitter-dev] Re: Using multiple via labels for an application
I have exactly the same requirment and have addressed it with one oAuth token per product/user. Be careful, though, not to park any token names before you are ready to use them. I did that, not appreciateing that it was violating a Twitter rule of the road, and ended up having several tokens suspended, including those that were in use by my clients. It was because I was effectively reserving names which could be used later by the via process which you mention. Twitter were very helpful in resolving this for me once I explained what I was doing, but it took a short while to get the matter resolved. It may be better (although more work for you) to have each oAuth token reside in the account of each of your users rather than in once central account. It always worries me that the actions of one user could lead to the suspension of thier oAuth token and then other unrelated tokens as as I have them all registered under one single account. (I have built into my code, by the way, limits on the number of DMs, Tweets per hour and repeat Tweets per 24 hours etc. so that these get stopped before they hit Twitter's servers in an attempt to minimise the risk of this). Hope that helps!

[twitter-dev] Substitute .connectButton with Sign in with button for twttr.anywhere?
First Time API user, so this is likely a *very* basic question.
I need to either ...
1) get .connectButton to follow the same flow that the Sign in with
button does (go offsite to authorise and then return to callbackURL)
or
2) to substitute the .connectButton with a Sign in with button in a
twttr.anywhere call
Instead of .
else { T(#twitter-connect-placeholder).connectButton();
Can I show a signin button somehow, like .
else { T(#twitter-connect-placeholder). [Sign in button
here] ();

[twitter-dev] Annotations! Annotations! Annotations!
Hey Twitter people, Are Annotations ready yet? Did I miss the announcement? Some of us have been working on applications that will enhance the Twitter ecosystem and we are awaiting the release of this feature. A side question is will it be supported across all Twitter API e.g. search, anywhere 'data' param, stream, etc?

[twitter-dev] Net::Twitter::Lite cannot authenticate me
Hello. I'm trying to tweet programmatically using the
Net::Twitter::Lite perl module. I use their example verbatim, with my
consumer_key and consumer_secret which I got by registering an app on
twitter.
When I run the script I get Could not authenticate you. I did copy
and paste the two keys so there shouldn't be any typos.
I did search the archives for this group and, while I see postings
quite similar to mine, I couldn't find any resolutions or information
that might help me.
How can I debug this?
Here's my script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use Net::Twitter::Lite;
use Scalar::Util 'blessed';
# As of 13-Aug-2010, Twitter requires OAuth for authenticated
requests my $nt = Net::Twitter::Lite-new(
traits = [qw/OAuth API::REST/],
consumer_key= 'my consumer_key',
consumer_secret = 'my_consumer_secret',
access_token= $token, access_token_secret =
$token_secret,
);
my $result = $nt-update('Hello, world!');
eval {
my $statuses = $nt-friends_timeline({ since_id = $high_water,
count = 100 });
for my $status ( @$statuses ) {
print $status-{created_at} $status-{user}{screen_name}
$status-{text}\n;
}
};
if ( my $err = $@ ) {
die $@ unless blessed $err $err-
isa('Net::Twitter::Lite::Error');
warn HTTP Response Code: , $err-code, \n,
HTTP Message..: , $err-message, \n,
Twitter error.: , $err-error, \n;
}
Thanks very much.
Sol

[twitter-dev] Re: API X-RateLimit-Remaining goes to 0 on our first request after midnight
Just got into the office and sure enough I got an email of a 400 response last night at 12:59 AM. From what I can tell the last request before the 400 was at 11:55 PM and had an expiration time of 11:57 PM. This does still match up with my first request after midnight theory, but I noticed something else interesting in the header. The date in the header is Sat, 15 Jan 2011 06:59:21 GMT, which would be 12:59:21 AM CST. The X-RateLimit-Reset is 1295074762, which is 12:59:22 AM CST. It's possible that there was a request done after 11:57 PM that I'm not tracking and that our request was just lucky to be sent one second before our reset, but I find the one second different a little too close to ignore. -Zach On Jan 14, 9:32 am, Zach Gardner z.gard...@hotmail.com wrote: We've been having problems recently with going over our rate limit when making API calls. We do a lot of server side caching of the responses we get from the API, so I was curious why we were going over our limit. I setup our application to record the headers we receive each time we make an API call, and found something interesting with X- RateLimit-Remaining: When we make our first API call in a while a little before midnight, we get a new rate limit remaining and new expiration time. But as soon as we make a call to the API after midnight, our rate limit goes to 0, so we have to wait till the expiration time to start making calls again. Yesterday at 11:50 PM CST we made the first call to the API after our expiration time passed. Our X-RateLimit-Remaining was 149 out of 150 because that call used one of our allotted 150 per hour. The next call we made to the API was this morning at 12:10 AM CST, but our X- RateLimit-Remaining was 0. It's entirely possible that I didn't add the header tracking to another place we do API calls, but I doubt we'd have that much traffic at that time of the day to use 149 calls in 20 minutes. For the past few weeks I had it set to email me when the API returns a 400 Bad Request header. I've gotten one on the 11th at 12:17, the 10th at 12:37, the 8th at 12:22, and the 6th at 12:23 AM CST. (Google crawls our site around midnight our time, and our server side caches have expired by that time, which is the origin of most of the requests.) I found something interesting while looking through our logs for the 12th. We made an API call on the 11th at 11:35 PM, which used our 146th call per hour. The expiration time for that hour was the 12th at 12:04 AM. The next call we made was on the 12th at 12:35 AM, after our expiration date. Our rate limit remaining was back at 149 out of 150 with an expiration at 1:35 AM as expected. I was wondering if anyone has experienced something similar, or am I just missing something entirely. I can provide the headers in full if necessary..

[twitter-dev] Garden hose access
Hello, I'm interested in finding out how to receive Garden Hose level access to the stream. I'm currently using the Spritzer-level access (http:// stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/sample.json). I've looked far and wide for information on how to actually increase your access level but I can't seem to find any information about it on the Web or on Twitter.com. Is there a dept. within Twitter that I can contact to arrange the details of upgrading my service level?

[twitter-dev] setFollow Filter mentions
Hi - I've installed the database server and it works like a charm! Thanks so much for putting the time into this project. For my purposes, I'm using setFollow with an array of userIDs for the stream. I need to display mentions only from the users that are included in the setFollow array. Currently it is importing all mentions, i.e. users/bots that these accounts do not follow. All the accounts are set to follow each other. From another post on your blog: Since I only want tweets made by these users, I’ll have the code that collects the tweets returned by the API check each tweets author and only save the tweet if it is by one of the users being followed. http://140dev.com/twitter-api-programming-blog/streaming-api-follow-doesnt-make-sense/ Do you have that code available or could you suggest the best way to achieve this?
