[twitter-dev] Re: Verify twitter with ASP.NET
It is totally possible Chief, but it just seems a bit overkill if all you want is to get a valid twitter screen name. If you are asking a user to authorize your app, IMHO, most users will expect something in return. My thoughts are to provide the most transparency to users while also providing the least friction to them. What about the no-auth call suggestion I made? Seems simpler for you and the user. Doesn't it? hth, -- robbie -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk
[twitter-dev] Re: Trying to get followers, fails
In order for you to make OAuth-less api calls, the end point must not require auth (which this one does not), and you need a different base URL. Instead of the http://api.twitter.com/1 as the base URL, try using http://twitter.com Like this: http://twitter.com/statuses/followers.xml?screen_name=noradio which works for me without any prompts for authentication. For a great online testing console, I highly recommend apigee: http://app.apigee.com/console/twitter It is hands down the best interface online to browse the full twitter api. -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk
[twitter-dev] Re: Verify twitter with ASP.NET
You can use the users/show endpoint and pass the screen_name param for what your user submits.

[twitter-dev] followers/ids result missing next_cursor and previous_cursor
There is a previous post about this from 9/2010 without any response and I feared reply there would go unnoticed, so here is a new post (sorry) I cannot get a response json or xml that contains the documented next_cursor and previous_cursor. And without these, there is no way to get the full list for users with more followers than the API will return in a single response. Here are two example twurl links to illustrate this issue: - json for user_id 158414847 (@TheDailyShow): long_twurl_link - xml for user_id 158414847 (@TheDailyShow): another_long_twurl_link Here are the results (abridged): json: [ 14784309, 223112592, 184849648, 147520179, 210794450, 221171315, 169841576, 208912350, 106867628, ... 7384292, 7203292, 6633982, 6609302, 6369362, 616113 ] xml: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? ids id14784309/id id223112592/id id184849648/id id147520179/id id210794450/id !-- ... -- id7203292/id id6633982/id id6609302/id id6369362/id id616113/id /ids As you can see, neither have the cursor fields. This is now a showstopper for my current project and I need a solution fast. Any workarounds out there would be very helpful as I cannot find a way around this at all, but I cannot imagine that all apps out there are just as busted as mine right now.

Re: [twitter-dev] followers/ids result missing next_cursor and previous_cursor
I should have mentioned that my requests included the cursor=-1 in them already. The twurl links I provided may not work for anyone but me (just learned of this limitation of twurl), but if you check the url, you'll see the cursor param included and the value associated to it to be -1. I also found that this only occurs when using an authenticated get.

Re: [twitter-dev] followers/ids result missing next_cursor and previous_cursor
Yes I have. I only used twurl as an attempt to share the example, but my tests were with twitter4j. I have the full source and viewed both the request and the response. Thank you for these alternative consoles. I will try them when I get to my office today. Do either of them support signing the request for OAuth? That is a tricky little bugger to pull off in a CLI. ;-} Thanks, -- robbie ~~ sent via me Google phone ~~ On Dec 9, 2010 8:04 AM, Taylor Singletary taylorsinglet...@twitter.com wrote: The Twurl console on dev.twitter.com is more dream than reality.

Re: [twitter-dev] followers/ids result missing next_cursor and previous_cursor
@Taylor: That web-based tool is amazing! Thank you! I made the call from apigee using the credentials I used in my unit test last night (that failed to return cursor fields) and right now it is successfully receiving these cursor fields. I just got into the office (late night hacking) and will fire up my unit tests to see if there too I get the cursors. Your help and attention to this post have been great sir.

Re: [twitter-dev] followers/ids result missing next_cursor and previous_cursor
Problem (mostly) found! The fact that the issues lies within my incorrect usage of the client library I am using (twitter4j) and that my test case for using something besides twitter4j was based on our broken twurl client AND that both of these clients returned similar results missing the cursor fields was enough of a confirmation for me in the wee hours last night. Problem: twitter4j provides a factory for obtaining a twitter client reference that can accept OAuth credentials, and if you call the method to get followers without specifying a twitter user id, it will pass the credentials own user id in it's place. My most recent project required me to retrieve followers of a user without that user's credentials and I never refactored my code to explicitly pass the user id into the method to get followers, but since my implementation expected credentials, it utilized an account we fall back to which happens to have less than a page size of followers. So when I was expecting the followers of the twitter id I used in my test, I was actually getting just the followers of our own development account. Not knowing this error on my part, I went to twurl to compare my findings and was convinced the API call itself when the results were also missing the cursor fields. I did notice that the follower ids were different that those returned in my unit test, but I attributed this to the paging not being deterministic. Solution: I resolved my bug by simply using the available overload for the get follower method that accepts the user id. Yeah... it was that simple. I truly appreciate the support I received here in this group and only wish that the other API I code against whose site rhymes with Ace-book was even 50% as responsive and helpful. ;-} -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk
[twitter-dev] Re: Can our twitter app call /oauth/revoke?
Here is why I think this *is* in fact useful: When you enter a room that is dark, you look for a light. To turn on this light, you usually look for a switch near this light. Later if you leave this room (and you're aware of green ideas..) you would probably want to turn off this light. Wouldn't you expect to be able to do this by going to that same switch and reverting it back to its previous state? I do not think it is a good user experience to provide them a means to connect from our site without providing them a means to revoke/remove this connection from the same place. Wouldn't you agree..? -- robbie On Apr 20, 6:36 pm, Abraham Williams 4bra...@gmail.com wrote: There is no oauth/revoke method.

Both Facebook and Google (their OAuth contact API) provide API calls to revoke a user's access_token/session_key.
