[twitter-dev] Official Twitter Widget and rate limit
I notice that there is an officially released twitter widget that ate up my rate limit and caused my dev app to get rate limited. I think this widget is not cool and if enough people put this up on the webpage everyone will end up getting rate limited. Basically I don't think I should get rate limited solely by visiting a webpage that isn't even mine. This is the widget: http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js /** * Twitter - http://twitter.com * Copyright (C) 2010 Twitter * Author: Dustin Diaz (dus...@twitter.com) * * V 2.2.5 Twitter search/profile/faves/list widget * http://twitter.com/widgets * For full documented source see http://twitter.com/javascripts/widgets/widget.js * Hosting and modifications of the original source IS allowed. * -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: https://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: https://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: https://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/twitter-development-talk
[twitter-dev] Streaming JSON and character encodings
my twitter text is being delivered with a < whereas the tweet in twitter displays the <. Is this supposed to be decoded by the JSON parser?

[twitter-dev] Best C/C++ library for Twitter JSON?
Is there a defacto C/C++ library that can handle twitter's streaming
JSON? I tried real quick as a test to see if I can pipe my twitter
feed to boost's JSON parser. No dice. My JSON parser cannot handle the
following lines:
"profile_background_image_url":"http:\/\/a2.twimg.com\/
profile_background_images\/4531792\/wallpaper_stock.jpg",
"url":"http:\/\/on.fb.me\/bShBVQ",
exception error: "invalid escape sequence"
"id":86162751646482432,
exception error: "expected value"
Removing the offending lines gets a populated property tree. Obviously
not sufficient for twitter. Here is the code in case I declared my
property tree wrong. Help?
int main (int argc, char * const argv[])
{
boost::property_tree::basic_ptree pt;
std::ifstream f;
f.open("testJSON2a.txt");
if(!f.is_open())
{
std::cout << "Error";
return 0;
}
try
{
boost::property_tree::json_parser::read_json(f,pt);
boost::property_tree::basic_ptree::const_iterator
iter = pt.begin(),iterEnd = pt.end();
for(;iter != iterEnd;++iter)
{
std::cout << iter->first << " " << iter-
>second.get_value() << std::endl;
}
}
catch(boost::property_tree::json_parser::json_parser_error &je)
{
std::cout << "Error parsing: " << je.filename() << " on line:
" << je.line() << std::endl;
std::cout << je.message() << std::endl;
}
return 0;
}
I can probably fix these two exceptions, but I have a feeling there
may be countably many other issues down the road with this approach.

[twitter-dev] Re: Need basic help with https://userstream.twitter.com/2/user.json
figured it out on my own. must use HTTP GET with OAuth params passed in URI string. Not mentioned in the documentation. Wasted many hours figuring out this stuff would be clarified if someone updated the docs and made some examples.

[twitter-dev] Need basic help with https://userstream.twitter.com/2/user.json
I have successfully implemented oauth and have used /statuses/update /friendships/create I was also able to connect to http://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/sample.json using Basic Auth on HTTP. However, when I try to connect to https://userstream.twitter.com/2/user.json with HTTPS and OAuth as required in the documentation, I get back ZERO data. I try fiddling with the input and the best I could get is Unauthorized response. I am pretty much doing the OAuth the same way as other requests, trying POST and GET. I put OAuth in the header baseURI = urlencode(https://userstream.twitter.com/2/user.json) Authorization: OAuth oauth_callback=oob, oauth_consumer_key=, oauth_nonce=9rEAx8760yc0IQYC0HCm, oauth_signature=Q385vY3GL9GzkppBAqEildZIKJw%3D, oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1, oauth_timestamp=1309370434, oauth_token=, oauth_version=1.0 -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: https://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: https://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: https://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/twitter-development-talk
