Re: [twitter-dev] Re: /statuses/filter.json returns 401 with OAuth
themattharris, Thank you for the response. I can only (easily) test quoting of the body after signing, and that results in OAuth authorization failure. Which client library do you use?

[twitter-dev] Streaming API access level limit
Hi, Just started to play with streaming API, but get confused on how many followers id could be tracked with one connection. In basic level of filter, http://dev.twitter.com/doc/post/statuses/filter says 400 followers ids http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_methods says 5,000 followers ids Then I tried in local machine, could only follow around 320 ids ( receive 413 if more) and seems multiple connections in one IP are not allowed. Any body here know: Is there any ways to follow a few thousands ids for each authenticated account (with oauth)? Or how to apply for higher access level? Any experience share or answers are appreciated!

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Follower analysis without whitelisting breaks limits?
Accounts with more followers will naturally take you longer to process. The majority of users on Twitter do not have exceptionally large follower counts (though your user base may reflect different demographics). You can do analysis for users with low follower counts within an hour. For users with larger counts, you accomplish what you can in the first hour, then move on to the next. For users with 1 million followers, you could potentially use GET followers/ids with cursors to get 5000 ids at a time. That would take you 200 requests. If you used all 350 requests for a user in a hour on just followers/ids, you could potentially get data for 1.75 million users. How many cases do you have where one of your users wants to perform up-to-date follower analysis on a user with 1M followers? When that user comes along, queue the job and send them an email when the results are ready. If it's bulk analysis that you want to do -- multiple accounts analyzed every which way against each other -- you can still do it. But it will take you more time.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Twitter feed for corporate website/portal
If you want to display a feed of tweets matching a search term, I would use the Twitter javascript widgets. Since the requests are client side, you don't have to worry about rate limiting, and you can style the widget as you please. Fetching tweets, storing them in a database, and serving them is overkill. If you would like to see an example, I can set up a page. Regarding spam, anytime you are displaying tweets on your site, you are doing something positive for Twitter.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: /statuses/filter.json returns 401 with OAuth
Looking at 3rd party libraries, I realized how ... nasty their auth flows were, so I walked through the pieces of: http://hueniverse.com/2008/10/beginners-guide-to-oauth-part-iv-signing-requests/ and created my own simple OAuth function with the proper encodings, escapes, etc. That got me to the point of being able to successfully make a call to verify_credentials. I then found that I could stream using a single word, or sequences of words without spaces. It's then I discovered, as you suggested, that the body of the post must be using the OAuth escape method for parameters as per RFC 3986, as opposed to RFC 2396, which I had been using for the body (and which was provided by my language libraries).

Hey Josiah, Glad you got it working. I have an OAuth library I put together which you might want to look at. It's in PHP and shows the OAuth signing process.

Re: [twitter-dev] twaud.io api: anyone manage to get it working?
Hi Seth, Twaud.io isn't part of the Twitter API but i'll try and help you anyway. The first thing to note is the Headers should be of the format X-Verify-Credentials-Authorization. The x_verify_credentials_authorization is mentioned because Twaud.io supports the OAuth Echo parameters in the header or POST body. Looking at your sample X-Verify-Credentials-Authorization I notice you are sending the realm as http://api.twitter.com . What i'm wondering is whether you are sending the X-Auth-Service-Provider as https://api.twitter.com/1/account/verify_credentials.json . According to the twaud.io API documentation the X-Auth-Service-Provider must be: https://api.twitter.com/1/account/verify_credentials.json If you change the protocol to http, or use .xml instead of .json, the request will not succeed. Double check that the verify_credentials request fits that pattern. The other thing to ensure is the request to verify_credentials isn't being sent to the Twitter API servers by your application. If the request is being sent, the OAuth Echo provider cannot use it. Check those things out and let us know how it goes, Best, @themattharris Developer Advocate, Twitter http://twitter.com/themattharris On Mon, Feb 21, 2011 at 2:57 AM, Seth seth.delack...@gmail.com wrote: I've tried discussing with the author of twaud.io, but he says he doesn't really have time to look.

What you should do is stop making requests and then try again 30 seconds later. If you still get 420, wait 1 minute. Continue doubling the time you wait until the 420 stops and you get results. Then gradually increase your request rate again. For extra back off magic add a little jitter (e.g. a random number of seconds between say 0 and 30) to the doubled wait times.

Re: [twitter-dev] Streaming API access level limit
Hi J, The authoritative information for the Streaming API is under the /pages/ path and you should use that for guidance. The number of connections you are allowed to the Streaming API is described in the Streaming API Concepts document: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_concepts It says: Each account may create only one standing connection to the Streaming API. Subsequent connections from the same account may cause previously established connections to be disconnected. Excessive connection attempts, regardless of success, will result in an automatic ban of the client's IP address. Continually failing connections will result in your IP address being blacklisted from all Twitter access. When tracking users using the Streaming API the default level allows 5000 follower IDs to be tracked. Make sure the user_ids are specified with the follow parameter and not the track parameter.

Re: [twitter-dev] OAuth Login Issues
Hey there, This happens now then right now, even when you're doing everything correct -- it should be happening less frequently in the near future. Often a simple refresh of the authorize or authenticate page will correct the issue. If you're seeing the issue consistently and without fail, verify that you're requesting the request token fairly close to the time you pass the user on to the authorize or authenticate steps. If the steps are generally performed closely together and the problem is still endemic (rather than just sporadic) please let us know. Thanks!

[twitter-dev] Re: Sharing a link on Twitter via an email
Hey Lukas, This is pretty much the exact scenario for which we designed the awe.sm /share endpoint documented here: https://github.com/awesm/awesm-dev-tools/wiki/Create-API#share awe.sm creates Twitter-friendly tracking links. But unlike conventional URL shorteners, we create a unique tracking link for each share action (in your case per email recipient who clicks the tweet call-to-action) and allow you to encode metadata in that link that doesn't necessarily need to go into the destination URL string (but can also be dynamically inserted if you like, see https://github.com/awesm/awesm-dev-tools/wiki/Redirection-Patterns). For example, the following GET call loads the tweet button share interface with a unique link tagged with the awe.sm campaign value of CAMPAIGN and the awe.sm notes value of RECIPIENT each time you click it: http://api.awe.sm/url/share?v=2key=5c8b1a212434c2153c2f2c2f2c765a36140add243bf6eae876345f8fd11045d9channel=twittertool=mKU7uNurl=http://totally.awe.smcampaign=CAMPAIGNnotes=RECIPIENTdestination=http://twitter.com/share?url=AWESM_TARGET%26text=This+link+was+created+dynamically%26via=awesm If you're interested in chatting more about the specifics of your use- case and how we might be able to help, drop me a line to jonathan [at] awe.sm.
