[twitter-dev] Re: How to send tweets from multiple accounts without having to login
You will have stored the tokens for those accounts that you control and on behalf of which you want to send Tweets. You no longer need to authenticate via Twitter, just be logged in to your own system. You can use a form that includes a SELECT tag allowing the choice of account to use when tweeting. Bear in mind that consistently tweeting the same tweets from multiple accounts is probably not a very good idea. As an aside, re-reading the TOS, I wonder whether this pattern on a public web site - whereby a user is enabled to send Tweets without passing the Connect with Twitter step - requires display of the end user's Twitter identity, including visible display of the end user's avatar, Twitter user name, and the Twitter bird mark.

Similarly, I have noticed that an exact duplicate tweet is no longer systematically rejected. Our CMS was set up to tweet new content items when they are first viewed by a visitor. If two visitors view the same new item at nearly the same time, two tweets are sent. Until recently, one would be rejected. Now, both are published and we have to delete the duplicate to avoid looking stupid. This behaviour seems to have changed 1-2 months ago.

1537, I'm not sure you're going to get an official response since the twitter team will be wanting to prevent abuse. Basically I was talking about two or more consecutive tweets with char- for-char the same content. But I believe the guidelines referred to above warn that near-identical tweets too, if repeated too soon or too often, could be caught by an anti-spam algorithm. And even if some perfect formula allowed such tweets to get through, they could be viewed as spam. More and more I see the same messages repeated after a few hours or the next day. I'm free to unfollow or reply, but basically I think it means I am spending too much time on Twitter...

[twitter-dev] Re: Data-expanded-url attribute
I have a possibly related problem. We also use an inhouse shortener that returns a 301 redirect, but Twitterbot misinterprets the shortened URLs. The usual search engine bots follow the redirect correctly, as far as I can tell. Each tweet results in a frenzy of 404s from API users who have received the incorrect URL. Mousing over the shortened URL on Twitter.com shows the incorrect URL in the title tooltip. Fortunately for now, it seems we are not subject to t.co wrapping so the original, correct short URLs can be clicked by Twitter.com users. The incorrectly interpreted URL is always the same.

[twitter-dev] Re: How to display lists from multiple users in an app
If you own a private list and want to share the content, you just use your own credentials (My Access Token) to fetch it. Real-time or cached, whatever works for you. There is no 'logged in' - each API call is authenticated. How could a user break into your account? A single web page can display content retrieved from different accounts - yours and the user's, for example.

I have three accounts with different purposes but need the 60 lists across these three accounts to be displayed on one page on my website. Each list link needs to be clickable to the status updates from that list (in that same page likely using ajax). They are private lists (created for viewing only in the app) and I would like to keep them that way though I will take them public if absolutely necessary. I'm just the content manager asking this on behalf of the developer so I know little about oAuth but this is how it has been explained to me: When you request an access token you send Twitter a current timestamp and that timestamp is used to make a signature_basestring. With that signature, you sign every request you send to Twitter. It's a bit tricky not to enter login/pass manually when Twitter asks you to do that. And then there is my concern about the security of my accounts if they are logged into on a public, live webpage (warranted/ unwarranted? not sure). The developer mentioned that even if we take the lists public, we would still need to use oauth/logins to retrieve status updates from the lists.

[twitter-dev] Re: What data is usually contained in the place field?
I understand, but without City and State it's really not very useful.
Sure I can lookup more using your place id, but with streaming api,
things are downloaded blindingly fast, really don't want to make a new
call for every status that has place ID.
I in interested in using streaming api to do stats on number of
mentions of certain words/people per city/state/day
Right not I can only record place id, then once a day download city/
state data per each place id, so it would not really be real time
On Oct 12, 7:52 pm, Matt Harris thematthar...@twitter.com wrote:
We only return enough to display the basic information about a place.
This is because some places have a lot of information in their place
object, for example some cities and areas have a polygon with over 600
points. For more detailed information make a request to the URL given
in the place object:
http://api.twitter.com/1/geo/id/247f43d441defc03.json
Things like city and state come from the Geo hierarchy indicated by
the contained_within data returned from the place URL.

of than why do you include the rel=nofollow tag?
This just looks wrong, not structured.
The right way whould have been to represent the source as an object
with fileds: name, url, like this:
source:{name : Echofon, url:http://www.echofon.com},
Usually you try to pre-parse everying for us, but in the case or
source, we have to do extra parsing to extract values of title and url
Will you fix this soon?

[twitter-dev] Re: location based search and user location field
Any update on this? It is still an issue. On Oct 7, 9:46 pm, Siim Saarlo siim.saa...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, Search API with location restriction (geocode parameter) used to search through tweets that were geotagged and also tweets that were tweeted by user who had set her location in profile settings. Seems that currently search API, when both geocode and and q parameters are set, only goes through the geotagged tweets. Although seems that when only geocode is set, tweets are included by user' location field as well. I was told (by @twitterapi) that this is temporary situation to be fixed soon. 1) Can anyone suggest when will it probably be fixed? is there alternative solution until then? 2) I would like to try out Streams API' filter method, but it is states that this only goes through geotagged tweets.

[twitter-dev] Re: Woe is me, I can't seek what I find (or Search is failing me)
I'm seeing this problem too, but it only started today, around five hours ago. Here's an example search: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=near%3Aedmonton That's returning a fraction of the tweets it was before. This problem happens occasionally, but not usually for this long. On Oct 7, 3:10 pm, @IDisposable idisposa...@gmail.com wrote: Over the last couple months, we've seen some wierd behavior in the responses to search queries. First, I understand the rules about search being non-covering, and that we are at the mercy of the index. That said, I've noticed some odd behavior lately. As background material, we run many searches (and we're white-listed by IP and OAuth account), but the two I want to reference are the Mentions and the Location searches. The Mentions search seems pretty stable and uses this typical search (and then we exclude a bunch of things like Bay St. Louis, etc.):http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?rpp=100q=stl+OR+%23stl+OR+stlo... The Location search has been VERY unstable, and uses this typical search:http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?rpp=100geocode=38.627522%2C-90... As the day progresses, we move up the high-water mark in the since_id to track what we've already received so we should be getting minimal gaps. We almost never see two 100-entry polls in a row, so I think we're keeping up with whatever coverage the search index is offering. I've posted in a Google Spreadsheet a graph of the tweet counts we're seeing since 7/1/2010 so you can see the trends http://bit.ly/9wnnFM (sheet two is the graph). Some interesting things to note: 1) The Mentions search is very consistent. 2) The Location search likes to bounce around a bit. 3) In mid August, we started to have issues with more 403s and error about since_id being too old. We were also getting rate-limited in our calls to get the tweep details (since the ATOM feed is so meager). Due to a bug, I wasn't committing all the tweets when this happened. 4) On or about Sept 1st, you guys did something that broke our ability to stay caught up... we started getting almost no tweets and lots of errors about since_id being too old. I thought this was due to your new tweet id assignment being rolled out. 5) On Sept 5th, I got back from vacation and added logic to understand and use the no new tweets, roll the tweet id forward to this driven by parsing the link rel=refresh node in the ATOM feed. 6) I also, around this time, added better logic to the tweep-lookup detail, only asking you for tweeps I don't have at least a minimal row on. This reduced the number of rate-limiting issues. 7) We were very stable and until 9/23 when volume falls off a lot, and never really recovers. I think this is the new search engine rollout. To research a little more, I tried the Twitter advanced search page and asking for the RSS (atom, really) feed from the advanced search page I get this URL now:http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?geocode=38.627522,-90.19841,30 Which starts off like ours, but adds the (seemingly redundant) human- readable search criteria q=+near:38.627522,-90.19841+within:30mi. Oddly, if we remove that and do the same search at nearly the same instant, I DO get vastly different tweets sets... probably due to volume, possibly just sorting, but I would hope that with the same since_id value, I would get the same tweets... but I don't. So, I'm asking... what's going on? Why are we seeing so much volume fall-off? What can we do about it? Should I be running both searches (my current one and one with the human-readable query) to get better coverage? Is there any hope/expectation of the volume returning to normal? Doesn't anyone else care about tweep-location searches? Now, before you tell me that I should be using Site Streams (which I want to do), realize that I _NEED_ tweets from people whose profile location says they are in St. Louis (and similar) like the old Summize search honored. I can't just get by with the _tweet_ location being STL.

[twitter-dev] Re: Comparing Friendship
Interesting! - thanks for sharing. As they say, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. I've just been followed by someone selling business cards. They are following 51,000 and are followed by 54,000. Well, I doubt they are reading many of those tweets, they are too busy selling business cards. Their own stream consists of recycled aphorisms and I doubt many people are reading that. Funnily, three people we follow also follow them, but this can only be due to auto-following. It's all meaningless, and worse, it's a waste of resources. When Twitter is having capacity issues I can't help but think of that. It's also too bad when one's following list is just a mirror of one's followers, because following lists can be a great source of new accounts to follow. The list of accounts we follow is likely to interest our followers, and we now make it available as a Twitter list that can be followed. My observation is that carefully curated followings are the best lists on Twitter. We'll soon be releasing our tool that lets anyone grab a following and make a followable list from it. Of course, the following has to be less than 500, but that's about the maximum number of accounts I could follow... On Sep 30, 5:19 pm, D.

Remember kids: if you don't auto unfollow-back that the terrorists will win. And that's not a good thing. Also if you want to follow over 2000 people you must keep you following/followers ratio really tight and that's why I would need to unfollow people who are not following me back. It's really simple. There are good ways to follow and read messages from many thousands of people. One way is to separate them by lists and then read lists instead of your main timeline. second way is to you other third party clients that lets you filter by keywords and stuff like that. I want to follow people with common interests and that common interest happens to be I am interested in following people who follow back When I follow someone I basically giving that person a chance to sell me something.

Is there a cost? Are those users' tweets less interesting if they aren't following you? I mean, we can't all be followed by Justin Bieber! Personally, I'm over that... If one succeeds in building up an account that follows and is followed back by thousands of users - as seems to be the goal - does one ever actually visit the account? It can't possibly make any sense to access such an account via twitter.com. Are there tools that can render such an account usable or meaningful?

perl has the same limitation as php, I decided to use Java for streaming API because of support for threads. On Sep 30, 12:54 pm, M.

I don't know if either of them has been updated to work with the official User Streams endpoint yet - last time I looked at User Streams, I used cURL from the command line.

[twitter-dev] Re: Comparing Friendship
It's important to unfollow someone who unfollowed you. I must emphasize here that I am not talking about unfollowing someone who is not following me, but only those who used to follow me, then unfollowed. In this case it's very important to unfollow them right away. This is important because otherwise the schemers that follow you, then get a follow-back and then unfollow you win. Remember kids: if you don't auto unfollow-back that the terrorists will win. And that's not a good thing. Also if you want to follow over 2000 people you must keep you following/followers ratio really tight and that's why I would need to unfollow people who are not following me back. It's really simple. There are good ways to follow and read messages from many thousands of people. One way is to separate them by lists and then read lists instead of your main timeline. second way is to you other third party clients that lets you filter by keywords and stuff like that. I want to follow people with common interests and that common interest happens to be I am interested in following people who follow back When I follow someone I basically giving that person a chance to sell me something. I say, fine, but you give me a chance to sell you something too. I may still follow a few accounts that are so important to me that I will follow them even though I know they don't follow back, but that's just a handful of people.

Is there a cost? Are those users' tweets less interesting if they aren't following you? I mean, we can't all be followed by Justin Bieber! Personally, I'm over that... If one succeeds in building up an account that follows and is followed back by thousands of users - as seems to be the goal - does one ever actually visit the account?

[twitter-dev] A Plea to allow auto-unfollow-back vote here!
If auto-follow back is allowed but auto-unfollow back is not allowed, that actually plays in favor of spammers in a big way! Now a spammer can use the tactic to follow/wait for follow-back, then unfollow you, knowing that now thanks to Twitter's infinite wisdom, the automated auto-unfollow-back services no longer exist because they violate Twitter's rules, so no company offers this anymore. So now if you setup an auto-follow-back feature with one of the many free services that provide it, you are instantly becoming a potential victim of bait and unfollow schemes. I can certainly understand that automated unfollowing can hurt Twitter business since they work hard on making people follow more people, hey, they even added these infomaous (annoying sometimes, maybe?) Who to follow block on the Twitter pages. It's very clear to see that Twitter wants you to follow more people, and applying the same logic, it's easy to see that they really really don't want you to unfollow large number of people. I know Twitter developers are very smart people, but for the love of God, don't you see that this ban on automated unfollow benefits the spammers big time?! I think Twitter should think of a new category of automated unfollowing called auto-unfollow-back, meaning that automatically unfollowing those who unfollowed you should be considered a special case and should be allowed, just like auto-follow-back is allowed! If you agree with me, please just reply and say Right on! If you disagree, then please explain why not.

[twitter-dev] Getting 401 in the past 2 days
Hello! I started getting 401 'count not authenticate' errors starting
about 2 days ago when I try to send tweet via API.
I use OAuth, use php pecl OAuth for that, just like I did before. The
last tweet was successfully posted from my website was 2 days ago
Here are the headers from the debug (I changed the values of my token/
secret here for security)

Sure, just test the authentication every time you want to perform some action on behalf of user or just do this periodically for every user via cron.

[twitter-dev] Request to better style the Tweet button
Just a small request: please add the style=cursor: pointer; to the official Tweet button. It will look better when you mouseover the button. Tweetmeme button does that. Also please add the same to the Follow button and other buttons produced by @Anywhere UI Thanks!
[twitter-dev] Re: Request to improve Tweet button JS interface
What, nobody else thinkgs it could be useful to have some sort or JS based UI for the Tweet button? The Facebook JS UI is pretty good, you can open the prompt and pre-fill it with a text message to be posted to the wall right from your own javascript, user then just has to click on Post button. Also in Facebook UI you can have a simple one line of JS to test if user is logged in to Facebook. It would be great if Twitter made a simple UI for opening the Tweet window programmatically, and also allowing to listen to onSuccess (tweet posted, window closed) or onFailure events. It would also be great to programmatically test if user is currently logged in to Twitter (or at least has Twitter account). Please lets get this topic going, I think it's important.

[twitter-dev] Is Twitter misusing their own t.co url shortener?
How long has it been since Twitter started their own t.com url shortener? Not sure, but I don't think it's been long enough to shorten over 3.5 trillion urls. Well, I just noticed that the the url shortened by t.com was this:http://t.co/5ywZYau So the value is 5ywZYau From what I understand the shorteners work this way (at least this is the most effecient way in order to create as short a url as possible): First you create a new record for url and get the next available numeric id, usually auto increment. Then you use base62 encoding to convert this integer into a string. The result is that you get the shortest possible value consisting of lower and upper case english letters plus 10 numbers, thus a total of 62 chars are used. The number of chars needed to represent a value is 62 x 62 x 62, etc... so the 7 chars-long base 62 string can represent a number over 13 digits long. Ok, so is it really possible for this service to already shorten over a trillion urls? I don't think so. which only means that you are not doing your best to make the shortest possible url. What's the point of registering a one-letter top level domain, going through all the trouble of creating your own service and then not really doing your absolute best to make sure urls are as short as possible. I mean, you could have probably still be using 4, maybe 5 - chars long codes instead of 7, saving potential customers 2 or 3 valuable characters

[twitter-dev] Send status update with OAuth/PHP/cURL
I've been digging in to the Twitter OAuth stuff and am able to sign
into my site with the Twitter authentication, but I'm wondering if
there is a way to use the OAuth credentails to send a status update
using PHP and cURL. The code below sends an update, but only when a
static username:password is filled in.
My goal it to update (your) Twitter status from my site once you are
authenticated by Twitter. Any thoughts or tutorials? Thanks!
// Set username and password
$username = 'name';
$password = 'password';
// The message you want to send
$message = 'My status update';
// The twitter API address
$url = 'http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml';
// Alternative JSON version
// $url = 'http://twitter.com/statuses/update.json';
// Set up and execute the curl process
$curl_handle = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 2);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, status=$message);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $username:$password);
$buffer = curl_exec($curl_handle);
curl_close($curl_handle);
// check for success or failure
if (empty($buffer)) {
echo 'message';
} else {
echo 'success';
}
[twitter-dev] Re: Send status update with OAuth/PHP/cURL
Thanks Chad!
I've checked out Abraham's OAuth lib, but I don't see how to update a
twitter status. His example seems to only authenticate and return data
on the person who's authenticated.

[twitter-dev] Re: Problems with search API and html widget
Perhaps that was the issue with the monitter widget. However, I no longer care because I discovered that my problem with the standard twitter html widget was a Safari 4 bug rather than a problem with twitter's javascript or json results generation. When viewing a page using the widget in Safari 4, the feed results disappear on page refresh or when navigating to the page via the back/forward buttons. I should have checked it using other browsers. :p On Mar 6, 11:12 am, Matt Sanford m...@twitter.com wrote: Hi Kevin, The most likely cause if that you have multiple widgets, all with very low refresh rates. Since the rate limiting is per-IP that can add up to be enough to rate limit.

Enhance your calm. response when trying to use the jQuery widget from monitter (http://monitter.com/widget/index.html). I tried that widget because the standard html widget that twitter provides (blogger.js, mytwittername.json) was only returning results for me perhaps 10% of the time. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?

Looks like they just added the source property to a result...so make sure you're decoding properly. On Feb 18, 12:21 pm, TCI ticoconid...@gmail.com wrote: I am getting an error no element found when querying the API for CostaRica's followers... Anything going on?
Re: no element found
Oh yeah, sorry, was referring to the Search API. Haven't had issues with the REST API today. On Feb 18, 2:32 pm, Chad Etzel jazzyc...@gmail.com wrote: er.. which API are you querying? The main Twitter API or the Search API? I think we're getting our signals crossed. -Chad On Wed, Feb 18, 2009 at 4:19 PM, Mack D.
