Re: Will this break your app? Chime in!
Thanks :) Also, please consider to fix issue #157. If you do, I can use show method only to get friends existence then I can reduce 1 API call. http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=157 Thanks, Kazuho On Tue, Dec 16, 2008 at 5:09 PM, Alex Payne a...@twitter.com wrote: Example response: true That's it :) Just a bare boolean literal.

Will this break your app? If so, how much time to do you need to ship a fix? TTYtter uses its own internal JSON parser and in fact special cases trivial Booleans and stringified Booleans: if ($data =~ /^[']?(true|false)[']?$/); So it will accept any of true, true, false, false, etc. If you decided to wrap it in something, though, I'd need to account for that. As described in the issue, it should be okay. -- personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star. -- William Blake -- -- Alex Payne - API Lead, Twitter, Inc. http://twitter.com/al3x
Re: Change: Search API Rate Limiting
I think using 400 is much easy to handle the responses than using 401. Because I can use same http client code and same error handling code for both search API and REST API. In my case, I wrote a error handler which alerts a dialog whenever it gets a 401 because search API wouldn't return 401.

Stay tuned. — Matt On Dec 8, 2008, at 09:46 AM, Alex Payne wrote: We use 400 for rate limiting on the REST API. Matt and I are discussing whether or not this might be the correct response. Thoughts?

For details, continue reading. Are you sure you want to use 401 for this? 401 would indicate authorization required. If you're asking for credentials, that would make sense, but if you're not, I would think the 503 is still the proper response irrespective of broken proxies. I don't see other codes that have that one's temporal semantics. -- personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- If you have integrity, nothing else matters. -- Alan Simpson --- -- Alex Payne - API Lead, Twitter, Inc. http://twitter.com/al3x -- | Abraham Williams | Web Developer | http://abrah.am | Brazen Careerist | Pro Hacker | http://www.brazencareerist.com | PoseurTech LLC | Mashup Ambassador | http://poseurte.ch | Web608 | Community Evangelist | http://web608.org | This email is: [] blogable [x] ask first [] private
Re: favorited value is null in JSON
I have received the null value of favorited statuses more frequently today. Thousands of my app users have been struggling for these days. (I guess several other iPhone clients also crash when they receive the null values.) I submitted the new version of my app to AppStore 4 days ago but I guess it will take for another few days to get an approval. If you could address the things on the server side, it would help my users very much. Regards, Kazuho On Thu, Dec 4, 2008 at 10:32 PM, Alex Payne [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks much!
