[twitter-dev] Re: Absolute totals for mentions and retweets_of_me
Thank you both for the reply. I'm looking to get totals for accounts already in existence. If I understand Edward's point correctly, this wouldn't work for me since I would need to create a dataset containing data for the entire lifetime of the account, i.e., I would have to start gathering data when the account is created. I tried to search for mentions of this in this group but came up empty. Edward, could you point me to the mentions you are referring to? Am I understanding your point correctly?

But due to the way data is cached in the Twitter ecosystem, there's no way to directly query us to find out these numbers for a given user at this time.

[twitter-dev] Re: How to use Twitter to sign out ? calling to end_session does not work
I think the question refers to the force_login oauth parameter. What I think CG wants it to log users out of Twitter, so when the app asks for authentication, the user is forced to log in TO TWITTER again. If that is the case: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-oauth-authenticate G'luck, Andres B @andresb On Jul 28, 11:19 pm, CG learn@gmail.com wrote: hi , thx for reply .. my app will actually do the following thing 1. get a new request token secret (or should I use the old requeust token ?) 2. redirect user to the authenticate URL (twitter.com/oauth/authenticate?x) with the request token secret At this moment , Twitter will do the authentication , and successfully authenticate me (even I hv call the end_session) ..

It works well until I need to add a sign out function in my App. I use the end_session API and I get an error Logged out. which I think actually is loggout successfully (I came across a ticket mentioning about this) I thought that after signing out from my app, when I revisit the same page , I supposed to be redirect to the sign in page but unfortunately , it seems like successfully authenticate me and redirect back to my app without required any authentication. I did a test on this by calling to end_session , and go to another browser tab , to accesswww.twitter.com, it seems like I am still not sign out from Twitter .. Anybody face this problem ? what is the solution for this ? without this function , my app is useless , because user can only sign out at twitter.com or clear the cache/cookie in browser. Cheers . CG
[twitter-dev] Re: streaming API for DM for multiple users ?
I'd support the creation of such a method. My latest focus is receiving orders/commands through DM and having a hose would give us a much snappier response than polling every 30 secs.

[twitter-dev] DM-based services
Hi, I'm having some trouble sending messages to the group, so I'll break it down in a couple different messages. I developed muuter.com and my users can send mute commands through DM i.e. d muuter someone 8 h. For this to work, @muuter needs to follow every user, and right now I can't because I'm hitting a follow ratio, at 130 followers vs 800 following. Is there a best practice to offer services through DM? Thanks in advance. Best, Andres B @andresb
[twitter-dev] Re: DM-based services
Yes, I'm aware of the daily limits, my main concern is that if I hit a higher number (and still have 150 followers, b/c @muuter is a pretty uninteresting account), I will not be able to follow ALL my users. That's why I'll appreciate any shareable experience receiving DMs from large numbers of users. Thanks!

[twitter-dev] Re: DM-based services
Well, I guess that I could even do that programmatically but I'd like to treat it as a last resort. Regular folks don't know about follow ratios and follow me so I give you this sounds petty.

[twitter-dev] DM-based service and follow limits
(sorry if this is a dupe, posted it an hour ago and didn't appear) Hi, I'm the guy behind muuter.com. It's a pretty basic service that allows users to temporarily mute people by unfollowing and following back after a set time passes. The service works through a simple web interface, and I developed some simple bookmarklets to make it easy to work with the app. I recently added the option of sending DMs to the @muuter account to send a mute command (something like d muuter someone 6 h, you can see other options in Tools on the site). Now, for this to work @muuter has to follow everyone that may send a DM command, so I started following people as soon as they (o)auth to the site. Now, @muuter has around 130 followers and follows 815 users. As this last number got stuck for the last day I started researching a bit and found that @muuter reached a following limit, and the ratios will not improve as the service ages, I suspect the contrary. Is there a way around this? I could programmatically force users to follow @muuter, and it's a VERY low traffic account, but this may freak out some specially vocal people. Any pointers/best practices about this? Thanks in advance. Best, Andres B @andresb http://muuter.com
