[twitter-dev] Can't get followers ids from users with lots of followers

[RTuosto]

I get a twitter over capacity when I do something like this:

http://api.twitter.com/1/followers/ids.xml?screen_name=britneyspears


But if I do it with my own account which only has a few followers it
works as normal.

How do I avoid this error?

[twitter-dev] Error in Creating Friendships

[RTuosto]

I am having a problem using the create friendship method in the API.
No idea why this is happening and its only been going on the past few
days.

Below is the code returned by twitter.  Please help!

[twitter-dev] HTTP Server Error 503 No available server to handle this request

[RTuosto]

I'm getting this error when looking at http://www.twitter.com as well
as user pages.  Whats the issue?

[twitter-dev] XML errors when getting a list of user's followers (PHP/CURL)

[RTuosto]

I'm getting the following 3 errors:

Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]:
Entity: line 62: parser error : Entity 'copy' not defined in C:\wamp
\www\TTT1\includes\twitter.functions.php on line 96

Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: li
class=firstcopy; 2009 Twitter/li in C:\wamp\www\TTT1\includes
\twitter.functions.php on line 96

Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: ^
in C:\wamp\www\TTT1\includes\twitter.functions.php on line 96

Here's my code:

Function getFollowers($id, $login) {
$url = http://twitter.com/followers/ids.xml?user_id=; . $id;
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $login);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$xml = simplexml_load_string($result);// Line 96
$followers = array();
Foreach ($xml-id as $id) {
array_push($followers, $id);
}
return $followers;
}

Is this a problem on my end or is the xml document not loading
properly?  It seems to load fine in my browser, and sometimes it
works.  I'm even doing a rate-limit verification before calling this
function to make sure the user can do it.

What to do?

[twitter-dev] How would I automatically DM to a person once theyve followed me?

[RTuosto]

Trying to automate this feature.

Something like how TweetLater has where when a user follows me it
automatically sends them a direct message to welcome them as my friend.

[twitter-dev] Cannot authenticate on Friendships/Destroy method

[RTuosto]

I'm trying to use the destroy friendships API method but I'm running
into a problem.

$login = login:  .$_POST['authid'] . : . $_POST['authpassword'];
$url2 = http://twitter.com/friendships/destroy/; . $id . .xml;
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url2);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $login);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$result2 = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$xml = simplexml_load_string($result2);
var_dump($xml);

var_dump($xml) returns:
object(SimpleXMLElement)#4 (2) { [request]=  string(33) /
friendships/destroy/40627723.xml [error]=  string(27) Could not
authenticate you. }

I only get this error on this method, I've been able to add friends,
and check statuses etc using the other API calls.

Whats going on?
