[twitter-dev] Re: Possible to find out how many people have see a tweet?

2011-06-28 Thread Mohan Arun

 I would guess finding retweets of a given tweet would have a similar
 api call.


The documentation at http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/statuses/retweets/:id
states it will return up to 100 of the first retweets of a given
tweet.

[twitter-dev] Update Limit reached... alternatives/suggestions?

2011-06-28 Thread FrankS
Hi Twitter-developers,

I'm kind of a twitter-api-newby trying to use this rest-api in a oauth-
enabled server app to send out (too) many updates/tweets.

The application is for swim-meets, where we wanted to send out the
swimmers' events, like signed-up event# with associated info, heat and
lane info as they become available, and results of the race as they
become available.

This info is tweeted out from one account such that the participants
and relatives/friends can easily get that information on their smart-
phones by following or searching the tweets and without having to go
to print-outs that are taped on the wall.

As we have a few hundred swimmers, possibly 50+ events, 4-8 heats, 6-8
lanes... lots of tweets... and I was hitting this update limit after
the first test case after about 40-50 tweets.

The idea for the app seemed so neat and twitter seemed such a natural
vehicle to spread this info...but all the twitter-docs about these
update limits seem to indicate that our current set-up simply won't
work with twitter.

Any advice/suggestions to get this somehow to work is greatly
appreciated.

Regards, FrankS.

Re: [twitter-dev] Is there api for invite friend?????????????

2011-06-28 Thread Taylor Singletary
There's nothing explicit like the function Facebook has. Instead, you could
encourage the user to craft a tweet @mentioning their friend that they would
recommend the product to and instead of your app sending the invite the
user would send the invite from their own account.

The Tweet Button/Tweet Web Intent are great for this purpose as it allows
you to pre-prepare the text and the user still retains control over the
message they actually send. The Tweet Button is documented here:
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/tweet_button and the Tweet Web Intent can be
read about here: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/intents#tweet-intent

If you have/want or more rich Twitter API integration, you could use the API
to accomplish this instead.

The parts of the Streaming API on stream.twitter.com support both
three-legged OAuth (an access token is required for the account attempting
to connect) or basic auth (username and password). Other parts of the
Streaming API like User Streams and Site Streams are OAuth-only.

[twitter-dev] New permission level enforcement happens this Thursday (30th June)

2011-06-28 Thread Matt Harris
Hey everyone,

Just a quick reminder that we'll be enforcing the new permission level this
Thursday, 30th June.

When we enforce the new permission level Read (R) and Read  Write (RW)
access tokens will be unable to use the following API methods:
/1/direct_messages.{format}
/1/direct_messages/sent.{format}
/1/direct_messages/show.{format}
/1/direct_messages/destroy.{format}

Any requests made to those endpoints with R or RW tokens will receive an
HTTP 403 Forbidden error with the response body:
{errors:[{code:93,message:This application is not allowed to
access or delete your direct messages}]}


Some key points
 * If you do not need to read or delete a user's direct messages you do not
need to do anything. You can always ask a user to reauthorize at a greater
permission level.
* Existing tokens will still work but only those with Read, Write, and
Direct Messages access will be able to read and delete direct messages.
* Read  Write access tokens can still send direct messages.
* You can verify the permission level of the token you are using by
inspecting the X-Access-Level header. This header is included when a
successful OAuth request is made to the API.
* When a user reauthorizes your application at the Read, Write, and Direct
Messages (RWD) level, the oauth_token returned by the
https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_tokenrequest will be different than the
one you already have. This is because we issue new tokens whenever the
permission level is changed. If the permission level is the same the token
is not recreated, e.g. you have an RWD token and you ask the user to
reauthorize at RWD level, you will get the existing token back. If you have
an RW token and you ask the user to reauthorize at RWD level, you will get a
new token back.


Recently there was a question on the mailing list about how to inform users
of the new permission level. Ultimately the method you choose is up to you
and the opportunities and information your application or service provides.
Some applications would prefer to be proactive, whilst others can be
reactive. Which your preferred approach below are a a few suggestions we
have seen or heard other developers will do:

* On your first attempt to read direct messages that responds with an error,
display a helpful message indicating the application cannot read the direct
messages until the user has reauthorized.
* On their first use of your updated application or service, prompt them to
reauthorize.
* If you know the email address of the users of your app send a message
about the new permission and link to our blog post (
http://blog.twitter.com/2011/05/mission-permission.html)
* Send a Tweet as the account that represents your application. This Tweet
can let users know an update is available for the application to accomodate
the new permission level on Twitter.
* Add a blog post on your application or services homepage about the new
permission level and what it means for your applications.
* Prepare a support response or FAQ entry that you can give to users if they
contact you saying they cannot access their direct messages anymore


In case you missed any of the previous emails or questions we've compiled an
overview page and FAQ on our developer resources site:
* https://dev.twitter.com/pages/application-permission-model
* https://dev.twitter.com/pages/application-permission-model-faq

[twitter-dev] One news feed inc twitter and our own new database

2011-06-28 Thread Candell
Instead of our news page having two feeds, one from our own database
for the news and another from twitter, I would like to consolidate the
two, preferably in date order, newest at the top.

Can I do that with the twitter api? I guess I would need to create an
array containing news items and twitter items, put them together then
output on the page. To easily distinguish between the two I would
colour code them.

[twitter-dev] Re: Recipe for getting Follow button working on an https website?

2011-06-28 Thread vinsci
Hi Taylor,

The same problem occurs with the Tweet button on SSL-based sites:
Google Chrome refuses to show the tweet button, instead showing a
bright red warning, Firefox likewise but shows just an empty light-
gray box where the button would have been etc. The reason appears to
be that the js code loads the button imagery from the Akamai content
distribution network rather than a Twitter domain.

Re: [twitter-dev] 401 Unauthorized in Python/Twisted app

Hi Taylor,

Thank you for your response.

Originally, I did forget to add an oauth_timestamp field. I've since included 
one, but still have the same problem. I modified my app to dump out the base 
string. Here's what I got:

GEThttps%3A%2F%2Fuserstream.twitter.com%2F2%2Fuser.jsondelimited%3Dlength%26oauth_nonce%3D05963995484855701581311629784779%26oauth_timestamp%3D1309276024%26oauth_version%3D1.0

Does that look right?

 Hi Eryn,
 
 I'm not too familiar with the Twisted framework or its implementation
 of OAuth, so take what I recommend with a grain of salt.
 
 * Access tokens generated through the OAuth flow on Twitter,
 regardless of the technique used (PIN code, xAuth, vanilla OAuth) are
 long-lived and do not expire until the end-user makes an explicit
 effort to revoke the access. You store the access token and access
 token secret.
 
 * While OAuth in theory should just work when it works in one spot,
 there's a great amount of variation in the amount of wrongness that
 given services will tolerate when evaluating the credentials. Long-
 term, we're working to normalize the entire validation procedure
 across all of our services, but in reality the streaming API and the
 REST API use different OAuth engines to evaluate the validity of the
 request -- the streaming API's OAuth verification is considerably
 stricter than the REST API's more forgiving implementation.
 
 * I notice that your authorization header is missing a oauth_timestamp
 parameter -- is that a copy and paste error? Do you know how to locate
 the OAuth signature base string in the Python library you are using --
 it can often be buried under private or protected methods but the
 string is invaluable in debugging issues like this.
 
 Thanks,
 Taylor

 Hello all,
 
 I'm quite new to OAuth and the Twitter API, and this is my first post to 
 this list.
 
 I'm working on an app in Python using the Twisted framework. It uses 
 brosner's fork of python-oauth2[1] to do the initial authentication and 
 subsequent request signing. I'm using the PIN code flow for authentication. 
 Do access tokens need to be generated every time you start the app, or can 
 they be stored between runs and reused? If so, how long are the valid? Right 
 now, my code writes the access token and secret out to a file and recovers 
 it the next time it starts. The procedure seems to go just fine – I don't 
 get any errors – but I can't really verify that everything is Correct 
 because I don't really know what I'm looking for…
 
 Second thing, I'm at the point where I'm trying to do the initial connection 
 tohttps://userstream.twitter.com/2/user.json. I'm using SSLConnect and 
 web.HTTPClient, if that helps… I write out the command (GET url), and the 
 headers (a Host and an Authorization header). The OAuth library generates 
 the following Authorization header content. I get back a 401 Unauthorized 
 error with a WWW-Authenticate: Basic header. I've heard from @twitterapi 
 that User Streams require OAuth, so why am I getting a Basic auth response?
 
 OAuth realm=Firehose, oauth_nonce=25622603816219309853125867384777, 
 oauth_consumer_key=cut, oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1, 
 oauth_version=1.0, oauth_token=cut, 
 oauth_signature=1AV5YG4DsfCV4jDoQcOCOmxZ2Gw%3D
 
 Anything obvious there that I'm doing wrong?
 
 Thanks,
 Eryn

[twitter-dev] 503 response on API calls

Hi, just wondering if anyone can advise my on the following.

If I request this URL from the twitter API...

https://api.twitter.com/1/followers/ids.json?user_id=194615674

... then I will receive JSON in the response.

However If I request the same API call but for a more popular account
ID

https://api.twitter.com/1/followers/ids.json?user_id=34613288

... then I get the 503 error and the twitter is over capacity page.

Can anyone provide some information on why I'm experiencing this? I'm
using OAuth but it's not required for the call and I get the same
behaviour whether I authenticate or not.

SHA1oauth_timestamp=1309272106oauth_token=oauth_version=1.0



After tat i recive either Failed to validate oauth signature and
token or just a 401 return code.




I'm trying to get my hands dirty here by developing my own API for
Python.
I know there are some out there but i don't like em + i don't trust
other people.

So i'm running Python2.6.5
And i'm using the modules:
from socket import *
from time import time, gmtime
from random import randint
import base64
import hashlib
import hmac
import urllib

(i know, you're not supposed to do from m import * but i'm just
making some basic code for a skeleton atm).

The code to generate the header + POST data:
(again, just a skeleton, ugly code, will be fixed when i got a working
copy)

dstr = ''
if data:
dstr += ''

for k in ('oauth_callback', 'oauth_consumer_key', 
'oauth_nonce',
'oauth_signature_method', 'oauth_timestamp', 'oauth_token',
'oauth_version'):
if not k in data: raise KeyError(Missing  + k 
+ , please
specify it at the login)
dstr += k + '=' + data[k] + ''
dstr = dstr[:-1]

secr = self.keySet[1]
sign_key_base = 'POST' + '' + urllib.quote_plus('http://
api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token') + ''
sign_key_base += urllib.quote_plus(dstr)
print 'Using sign base:'
print '\t' + sign_key_base + '\n'
print '\t Key:'
print '\t\t', [data['consumer_secret'] + '']
print '\t\t', [hmac.new(data['consumer_secret'] + '',
sign_key_base, hashlib.sha1).digest()]
print '\t\t', 
[base64.encodestring(hmac.new(data['consumer_secret']
+ '', sign_key_base, hashlib.sha1).digest())]
secr =
urllib.quote(base64.encodestring(hmac.new(data['consumer_secret'] +
'', sign_key_base, hashlib.sha1).digest()).replace('\n', ''))
print '\t\t', [secr], '\n'

ret = 'POST ' + URL  + ' HTTP/1.1\r\n'
ret += 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n'

ret += 'Authorization: OAuth oauth_nonce=' + 
data['oauth_nonce'] +

ret += 'oauth_callback=' + data['oauth_callback'] + ', '
ret += 'oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1, '
ret += 'oauth_timestamp=' + data['oauth_nonce'] + ', '
ret += 'oauth_consumer_key=' + data['oauth_consumer_key'] +

ret += 'oauth_token=' + data['oauth_token'] + ', '
ret += 'oauth_signature=' + secr + ', '
ret += 'oauth_version=1.0\r\n'
ret += 'User-Agent: InetCheck\r\n'
ret += 'Host: ' + host + '\r\n'

ret += 'Keep-Alive: 115\r\nContent-Length: ' + str(len(dstr)) + 
'\r\n
\r\n' + dstr



Please help me, it's getting on my nerves this oAuth stuff,
really never ever came in contact with it until Twitter, sure it looks
like a good security implementation but atm i don't like it :/

Any help is apritiated.



Also, validated my oauth_signature and content via:
http://hueniverse.com/2008/10/beginners-guide-to-oauth-part-iv-signing-requests/

Everyting matches up against what i'm sending to the server.
So if Twitter follows that standard it should all be good.

I don't know tho if i should skip oauth_callback since it's an empty
string anyways, or if i should skip oauth_token because i don't have
one (also a empty string).

Re: [twitter-dev] Pixelated Avatar and Twitter Logo

2011-06-28 Thread Matt Harris
Hi Robert,

You website stylesheet includes this rule:

#home_main_right img {
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
}

This rule is telling the webpage to render the img's at the 150x150
resolution and is the reason for the images in the widgets being pixelated.
To resolve the issue you should restrict the scope of that CSS rule by
adding something like a class on the img you want to be 150x150

Something else - I noticed that the home page loads slowly because the
header picture is 4703.21 KB (4816086 bytes). That is HUGE. For faster
loading, try reducing the image filesize to 24-32 kb.

2011-06-28 Thread DoXiD
After talking with a nice guy at the IRC channel he mentioned that i
needed to sort my headers and my POST data.
Sad and done, i sorted my things but still didn't help, any other
suggestions?

Here's a output (readable version) of my HEAD+POST:

 I'm trying to get my hands dirty here by developing my own API for
 Python.
 I know there are some out there but i don't like em + i don't trust
 other people.

 So i'm running Python2.6.5
 And i'm using the modules:
 from socket import *
 from time import time, gmtime
 from random import randint
 import base64
 import hashlib
 import hmac
 import urllib

 (i know, you're not supposed to do from m import * but i'm just
 making some basic code for a skeleton atm).

 The code to generate the header + POST data:
 (again, just a skeleton, ugly code, will be fixed when i got a working
 copy)

                 dstr = ''
                 if data:
                         dstr += ''

                         for k in ('oauth_callback', 'oauth_consumer_key', 
 'oauth_nonce',
 'oauth_signature_method', 'oauth_timestamp', 'oauth_token',
 'oauth_version'):
                                 if not k in data: raise KeyError(Missing  + 
 k + , please
 specify it at the login)
                                 dstr += k + '=' + data[k] + ''
                         dstr = dstr[:-1]

                 secr = self.keySet[1]
                 sign_key_base = 'POST' + '' + urllib.quote_plus('http://
 api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token') + ''
                 sign_key_base += urllib.quote_plus(dstr)
                 print 'Using sign base:'

                 ret += 'Keep-Alive: 115\r\nContent-Length: ' + str(len(dstr)) 
 + '\r\n
 \r\n' + dstr

 Please help me, it's getting on my nerves this oAuth stuff,
 really never ever came in contact with it until Twitter, sure it looks
 like a good security implementation but atm i don't like it :/

 Any help is apritiated.

 Also, validated my oauth_signature and content 
 via:http://hueniverse.com/2008/10/beginners-guide-to-oauth-part-iv-signin...

 Everyting matches up against what i'm sending to the server.
 So if Twitter follows that standard it should all be good.

 I don't know tho if i should skip oauth_callback since it's an empty
 string anyways, or if i should skip oauth_token because i don't have
 one (also a empty string).

[twitter-dev] Feedback wanted on Twitter + iOS

2011-06-28 Thread Ryan Sarver
Hey all,

With iOS 5 and the Twitter integration coming in a few months, we have been
getting a ton of inbound interest and questions around how to effectively
leverage the Twitter integration. We wanted to get your feedback on how we
can best support you and your users in developing meaningful experiences. I
also hope you have had a chance to dig into the
documentationhttps://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/#documentation/Twitter/Reference/TwitterFrameworkReference/_index.html%23//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40011014and
watch
the WWDC session
videohttps://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/BrowsePrivately/adc.apple.com.8270634034.08270634040.8367260933?i=1372307634
.

We've heard that it would be helpful for us to provide some standard
graphics for use with your upcoming iOS integrations. We wanted to
understand what types of buttons and styles would be most helpful. We think
the most common use case is going to be Sign in with Twitter (SSO) but let
us know what formats would be helpful.

The two use cases that we're hearing the most interest around are:

1. Instant personalization - frictionless Single Sign-on (SSO) and social
graph will allow apps to provide a personalized experience to their users
with one click. What things can we provide to make this more effective for
you.
2. Distribution - using the build-in Tweet Sheet functionality to post great
content from your app out to the Twitter stream where it will drive
engagement and clicks back to your application.

Let us know if there are any other resources that would help make your
Twitter iOS integrations easier on you or help you provide more value to
your users on iOS.

We'd love to see your apps, give feedback and help make developing on
Twitter and iOS 5 a great experience so let us know how we can help.

Re: [twitter-dev] Feedback wanted on Twitter + iOS

2011-06-28 Thread Tom van der Woerdt
First of all, I think Twitter should make it more clear that this 
implementation is focused on providing Twitter access for non-client apps. 
Think of this implementation as a 'post on Twitter' feature that doesn't 
require any API knowledge or other very complicated stuff. That, and you have 
the ability to get some information about the user. I think it would be a very 
bad thing if this gave the app DM level access as that kind of access is either 
abused or for client apps and this framework isn't for either of those. 

What I noticed while studying the framework (and I'll avoid violating the
Apple NDA here) is that the requests are signed using a fixed pair of 
credentials and always say 'from iOS'. It would be very nice to be able to make 
that say something like 'from appname on iOS' or something. I think that a 
LOT of devs are going to ask for that. 

I have some other ideas but they are improvements over the current framework 
and if I posted them on a public list I'd have to shoot you ;-)

This could be handled by different wording on the Alert Panel that asks for 
permission, or by app id white listing or probably a handful of other solutions.

If this framework is supposedly only going to be used for non client 
applications then can we assume that Twitter for IOS won't have access to it 
either?

Paul, thanks for following up and we definitely understand where you are
coming from.

The current Apple implementation allows for a single permission for all apps
and therefore we have to err on the side of being less permissive. The vast
majority of the apps will not need DM read access and we need to optimize
for that.

We definitely understand the needs and we're exploring options on our side
to make it happen. stay tuned

Tom, by the time this launches all apps using TWRequest will get proper
attribution like from YourApp on iOS :)

 First of all, I think Twitter should make it more clear that this
 implementation is focused on providing Twitter access for non-client apps.
 Think of this implementation as a 'post on Twitter' feature that doesn't
 require any API knowledge or other very complicated stuff. That, and you
 have the ability to get some information about the user. I think it would be
 a very bad thing if this gave the app DM level access as that kind of
 access is either abused or for client apps and this framework isn't for
 either of those.

 What I noticed while studying the framework (and I'll avoid violating the
 Apple NDA here) is that the requests are signed using a fixed pair of
 credentials and always say 'from iOS'. It would be very nice to be able to
 make that say something like 'from appname on iOS' or something. I think
 that a LOT of devs are going to ask for that.

 I have some other ideas but they are improvements over the current
 framework and if I posted them on a public list I'd have to shoot you ;-)

 Hey all,

 With iOS 5 and the Twitter integration coming in a few months, we have been
 getting a ton of inbound interest and questions around how to effectively
 leverage the Twitter integration. We wanted to get your feedback on how we
 can best support you and your users in developing meaningful experiences. I
 also hope you have had a chance to dig into the 
 documentationhttps://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/#documentation/Twitter/Reference/TwitterFrameworkReference/_index.html%23//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40011014and
  watch
 the WWDC session 
 videohttps://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/BrowsePrivately/adc.apple.com.8270634034.08270634040.8367260933?i=1372307634
 .

 We've heard that it would be helpful for us to provide some standard
 graphics for use with your upcoming iOS integrations. We wanted to
 understand what types of buttons and styles would be most helpful. We think
 the most common use case is going to be Sign in with Twitter (SSO) but let
 us know what formats would be helpful.

 The two use cases that we're hearing the most interest around are:

 1. Instant personalization - frictionless Single Sign-on (SSO) and social
 graph will allow apps to provide a personalized experience to their users
 with one click. What things can we provide to make this more effective for
 you.
 2. Distribution - using the build-in Tweet Sheet functionality to post
 great content from your app out to the Twitter stream where it will drive
 engagement and clicks back to your application.

 Let us know if there are any other resources that would help make your
 Twitter iOS integrations easier on you or help you provide more value to
 your users on iOS.

 We'd love to see your apps, give feedback and help make developing on
 Twitter and iOS 5 a great experience so let us know how we can help.

 Ryan

Ryan,

Thanks for the reply, I'm glad to hear that at least its under consideration.

 Paul, thanks for following up and we definitely understand where you are 
 coming from.
 
 The current Apple implementation allows for a single permission for all apps 
 and therefore we have to err on the side of being less permissive. The vast 
 majority of the apps will not need DM read access and we need to optimize for 
 that.
 
 We definitely understand the needs and we're exploring options on our side to 
 make it happen. stay tuned

Is there any documentation for the various events a client can receive via the

[twitter-dev] Slow Image Requests

2011-06-28 Thread Kyle Mulka
I've noticed that some requests to Twitter's image servers have been
slow for a few weeks now. Any plan to fix that? For example: it would
take over a minute to load Twitter backgrounds or Twitter avatar
images.
