Re: [twitter-dev] Re: abraham / twitteroauth
The reason my insert code was not inserting the client tokens in my database after returning from Twitter and allowing access to my application was that clearsessions.php was, of all things, clearing the session variables! I use a session variable to identify my client when they log into my site, and then use this to know which record in my database to insert the tokens in. So, I disabled the call to session_destroy() in clearsessions.php. Are there consequences to doing this that I need to know about, or is it OK? -- 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] Problems with direct message api
Trying to do an app that can send private messages to a user, these messages could be sent at any time and would be triggered by real-time events that require a notification to be sent to a registered user. Tried using the direct_message/new api and whilst that does send the message, it appears to of been sent by the user that recieves it rather than sent from the application. Example sequence used to get this: Registered user 1 Registered user 2 User 2 registered an application User 1 signed up to that application, application now has auth token, secret, user_id and screen_name of user 1. At a later point, the application sends a private message to user 1 using the direct_message/new api The message is recieved by user 1, but appears to be sent from user 1 not from the application that user 2 registered. How can I make it so that the message shows as from the application?

Re: [twitter-dev] Problems with direct message api
Twitter's API doesn't really support the notion of an application having agency to send direct messages on its own. Direct messages are between two Twitter users. If you want your application to have an identity, it'll need to be a Twitter account also -- one that has approved your application. When you want your application to send a direct message to the user, you use the access token of your application's account. The gotcha here is that the user who is receiving the direct message needs to be following your application's user account. A common practice in this case is to suggest through a UI that the user follows that account to receive DMs. You must make the following aspect opt-in though.

[twitter-dev] Tweet Button sending count.json request, even if it's not required

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Question regarding ip based rate limiting
In the past there were mixed conditions on whether you'd be evaluated under IP-based limits when a method wasn't expecting authentication (yet was being presented with it). These were bugs and it took us awhile to fix them. Passing authentication to the API is saying I'm doing this on behalf of a user and thus it will be considered under a user's rate limit. Our docs right now don't have the best wiggle room in delineating the difference between requiring auth and supporting auth -- most Twitter API resources support auth, even if they don't require them. The only reliable way to be considered under an IP-based limit is to make a request without any kind of authentication. So if there's a specific mix of rate limiting scenarios you're trying to navigate, just be explicit about using auth or not.

Make sure you are actually save the access token in the db and using those values for your requests.

[twitter-dev] Re: localhost testing of Oauth
Yes, you can do this with epiTwitter (php) or twitter (ruby) gem, etc, etc, to do that. Once you develop the code via localhost, you then set it up on the Internet with your code to authorize with twitter, exchanging request tokens for access tokens, if you want different users to use your program, saving their tokens to session variables or a database for further calls. You need to initialize your given library's oauth object with consumer key, consumer secret, and access token and access secret. Recently, for example, I was trying to figure out how to do a localhost setup with ruby twitter_oauth, but I couldn't figure it out. But I did get it working with the twitter ruby gem instead. I guess I will just use that gem instead of twitter_oauth gem. ~Patrick On Feb 3, 3:57 am, Ashim ashimkap...@gmail.com wrote: Dear All, I wish to try Oauth on Mediawiki.

Re: [twitter-dev] High number of 502 errors in REST API
What kind of count values are you using? When we're at capacity, higher count values' processing time can exceed our timeout filters. I would recommend lowering count values as a response to this error and retrying.

[twitter-dev] Re: Problems with direct message api
Ah, that's a bit annoying... I would of though that an application being able to send notifications to a user was a fairly common requirment. Thanks for the advice. On Feb 3, 6:48 pm, Taylor Singletary taylorsinglet...@twitter.com wrote: Twitter's API doesn't really support the notion of an application having agency to send direct messages on its own. Direct messages are between two Twitter users. If you want your application to have an identity, it'll need to be a Twitter account also -- one that has approved your application. When you want your application to send a direct message to the user, you use the access token of your application's account. The gotcha here is that the user who is receiving the direct message needs to be following your application's user account. A common practice in this case is to suggest through a UI that the user follows that account to receive DMs. You must make the following aspect opt-in though.

[twitter-dev] Questions about friendship/create
Can someone descripe what the 'follow' options is actually used for - it's described as 'Enable notifications for the target user' but I'm not sure what that actually means. If I don't include this param, then the friendship gets created, and seems to work as expected. What am I missing but not putting this in? I'm also not using the 'include_entities' param. That says that these will be made a default component of output in the future, so should I just add them in now so that nothing changes when this is made the default (I've no idea how long this 'in the future' message has been there as I've only just started looking at this - could this future they speak of still be a very long way off...) What would be the values to set this to in order to exactly mirror the actions taken by clicking on the 'follow' button within twitter. Should they both be missing, both set, or some other combination?
