[twitter-dev] Using multiple whitelisted IP's to fetch data of a single user without break

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

Hi,

We are building a twitter application which fetches lot of follower data of
particular user. Some users consume around 80,000 calls to complete the
task. So how can we use 4-5 whitelisted ip's to perform single task without
break. Is this possible? If so, how?
Eagerly looking for help from your side.

Thank you.

[twitter-dev] about image-size in newtwitter

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

Hi there,

 I got the new look of new twitter, and liked it a lot.

 The profile-image size in newtwitter has been increased from
previous(48*48). When I increase the profile image size of the user(the
image i get from api right now), it looks unclear, blur type. I just need to
know that, will I get a big image from twitter API, once new twitter will
come in service completely? or can I do it from my side?


Thank you in Advance.

[twitter-dev] just to know that, why I am not getting data for big user ?

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

Hi there,

   I just need to know that is there any problem in getting data from API?

   I am using rest API to get data from API, mainly accessing user's
followers data. I have been able to search a user having 1L followers on my
site but from last 2 - 3 days, I am not able to search user having 30k
followers, neither get any error nor result.

So just need to ask that is this from twitter side?  because this is also
happening when I run a code snippet in separate file.

Thank you in advance.

Re: [twitter-dev] just to know that, why I am not getting data for big user ?

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

Hi,

 Thank you for your instant reply.

a.  Using following API methods:

   1.  http://api.twitter.com/1/account/rate_limit_status.json
   2.
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/followers.json?screen_name='.$unm.'&
cursor='.$cursorID;
   3. http://api.twitter.com/1/users/show.json?screen_name='.$unm;

 b. Below is the link that I am using for testing with user :
'ashabhosle'
 http://www.honestfollowers.com/test5.php

 c. As I was getting 500 error from twitter api server before so using
below logic for getting followers without error: (had discussion about this
with you before.):
 public function followerscid ($unm, $cursorID)
{

$url = $this->UrlStatus;

$url .= 'followers.json?screen_name='.$unm.'&cursor='.$cursorID;
$statuses = $this->myUserParse($url, 'followers');
if(empty($statuses))
{
sleep(2);
$statuses = $this->followerscid($unm, $cursorID);
if(empty($statuses))
{sleep(8);
$statuses = $this->followerscid($unm, $cursorID);
}
}
return $statuses;

}

PS: This is the snippet.
   I am going to use ID method for getting followers very soon for big
users.

  Thank you in advance.

[twitter-dev] Facing problem with rate-limit.

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

Hi ,

We are building a twitter application which needs to collect all the
followers of the user to show him results. Now when we looked at following
user's:

user Followers
ev -  1,172,553
aplusk -4,627,964
Kim Kardashian -  3,144,680

 such users through our application it turns out 20,000 calls per
white-listed IP without breaking operation, are not sufficient to collect
all the followers of these users. Because every cursor id gives only 100
follower's data which means 20,000 calls are not sufficient for some users
with extensive followers.

Eagerly looking for solution,
Thank you.

Regards,
Rushikesh.

Re: [twitter-dev] Facing problem with rate-limit.

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

Hi,

Thank you for the reply. I understand what you are saying, but is it
possible to get more than one user account whitelisted? When I looked at the
whitelisting form, it suggests to add IPs and not user accounts.

Let me know please,
Thank you.

[twitter-dev] getting authenticated user's rate-limit-using rest API.

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

Hi, there,
 I am using rest api method in my app, in that, I have two users(i.e
white-listed user accounts.) and need to get each user's account rate-limit
request balance, I am using following URL to get request balance.

' http://twitter.com/account/rate_limit_status/'.$unm.'.xml '. Here $unm is
user name passed through ratelimit() function .

 Below is the code logic: (using cURL functions )

[ function Checklimit()
{
for($i=0; $i<2; $i++)
{
$usrlimit =
$this->ratelimit($this->u[$i]);  // ratelimit($unm)
function will give array containing remaining hits.
foreach($usrlimit as $key=>$val)
   // $this->u[]  is the array used for fetching users with $i.
{
if($key == 'remaining-hits')
{
if($val != 0)

{// here
will return array element which is having hits.
   return
$i; // here it doesn't
come inside when value of ratelimit of first user comes to an end
 }

}
}
  // Actually here it goes to second user but does not get it's hits
from api using ratelimit function. gets same 0 as like first user. It will
return -1 when no user is having hits.
}
return -1;
}

]

Can I have some clue, please.

Thank You in advance.

Hi,
(Note: In my app, single white listed useraccount's requests are not
sufficient to complete particular task, so i need to switch from one account
to another without breaking operation, if previous A/C's hits got over. )
   In my case both the users are authenticated. Now problem is that how to
switch from one user to another, when  next user comes, he should come up
with it's hits for the operations, when previous user's hits got over. In
such situation how can i use rate_limit_status method.

Re: [twitter-dev] getting authenticated user's rate-limit-using rest API.

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

Hi there,
  Yes I got your point Sir and that's the problem automatic switching of
user does not take place. Yes authentication is essential, but can I do that
using rate_limit_status method(passing user name and password to method) for
these two users or OAuth is the option, but it's not possible in this
case(have already implemented OAuth in app), because this is going to be
automatically. Above two user names will be white listed A/C's(that I am
going to do as this problem will get solved on current requests).  I read
Twitter api documentation, in that I got clue to pass unm and pwd  using
cURL ( have used it) like this->

curl -u user:password
http://api.twitter.com/1/account/rate_limit_status.xml<http://twitter.com/account/rate_limit_status.xml>
  is this possible?

Thank you in advance sir.

-- Rishi.

Hi there,
   Thank you for your valuable guidance sir, Now I just have last two
questions:

   1. How to get particular authorised user's hits,  what is the url to
to get remaining hits for that user..

   2. Suppose I am having authorised a/c(which has 2 hits), then
how to call any method (any like userstatus or show/1/status) with my
account.


Thank you in advance.

[twitter-dev] Rate limit status with authentication credentials for authenticated user account.

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

Hi there,

   We are developing an app in which we need little of your help. may I know
how to get rate-limit status if we provide authentication credentials of an
authenticated user. is it possible if we provide user name and password
manually through code instead of twitter OAuth. If it is, how can we do
that?



waiting for reply eagerly,
Thank you very much in advance.

Re: [twitter-dev] Rate limit status with authentication credentials for authenticated user account.

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

   Yes Mr. Williams I should not use this method if it is so, then what
is the way out to deal with my problem. OK I will go with OAuth but I don't
understand how to implement it in my app. Because in my code, I am using
this url to get remaining hits "
http://twitter.com/account/rate_limit_status.xml";. What I want is , I have
two accounts X and Y(both authenticated), I should get X's and Y's remaining
hits separately with this url or OAuth. As per Twitter I can't use
username/password method after June. Then option remains is OAuth. Will
Oauth give me separate hits of both A/cs through coding without using
customized window? If yes, then how ?
 We are going to white-list these a/cs if it worked on current api
requests. So please guide me in this problem.

 waiting for reply eagerly,
Thank you very much in advance.

[twitter-dev] Problem in getting rate-limit status with OAuth.

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

Hi there,
  I am studying Abraham's code on github for Oauth to deal with my
problem. In my app, user is not going to do authentication. I have two
account with(username/password) and I have to use it to get ratelimit
status. Studying code shows that, it is redirected(redirect.php) to
twitter's window for user authentication. So instead of authenticating user
on authentication window,  can I get ratelimit status of these two accounts
authenticated through the code on github. Is it possible to do or
alternatively what should I do?
  can you suggest me any clue, please?

Thank you in advance.

Re: [twitter-dev] Problem in getting rate-limit status with OAuth.

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

Hi Taylor,

 Thank you for your reply first.
 I think I could not explain my problem properly. OK first thing is my
app does not have two users only, there are n number of users that are going
to visit the website, the two users I mentioned are white listed user
accounts, that I want to use as a authentication credentials to get rate
limit status for each account in OAuth(user is not going to authenticate).
There some queries to me as under:

   1. would I be able to get rate limit status of above two account
separately by skipping to authentication window of twitter, because I need
this rate limit status in my code to perform user operation without
acknowledging user about this OAuth.
   2. As you mentioned in the last lines that when I shall use access token
in the request, I would be getting rate limit status for the user indicated
by the access token. Can you elaborate more on this.

Thank you in advance.

[twitter-dev] How would I get remaing hits using OAuth.

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

  Hi there,
* About my app* - my app deals with showing user his followers
information. So I  need to check each follower to show result. Everything is
going properly except one. While doing this I need to check API remaining
hits of account.(whitelisted a/c.)
 Now what I want is, if my app is using calls of particular a/c then I
should get remaining hits of that a/c using OAuth.
 I am studying Abraham's code on github in that it gives particular
user's info, but when I go for rate limit status url for Host like as:
public $host = "http://twitter.com/account/rate_limit_status";;
it gives result as:
  stdClass Object
(
[request] =>
/account/rate_limit_statusaccount/verify_credentials.json?oauth_consumer_key=bTeyT1WTohdf7IT4JZ4iYg&oauth_nonce=8e7f694db22fead19d8833ab67430ca6&oauth_signature=9BTlNg%2BePdvIENSxqd%2B6quZ5bms%3D&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&oauth_timestamp=1273497259&oauth_token=113883944-6A9NCG9DCkZ0DpJnHzBxZCxPEcezD2Pmn32pmc5O&oauth_version=1.0
[error] => Not found
)

Am I going wrong way? Can you suggest me the right one?

 Thank you in advance.

Re: [twitter-dev] How would I get remaing hits using OAuth.

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

   Hi Abraham,

   Thank you for your reply. Now I am getting rate limit status using OAuth
(new version). Now moving towards main problem.

   As my app(uses rest api) provides user his followers info filtering spam
ones which needs lot of calls so I white listed two accounts.Suppose a user
has more than a million of followers then it breaks operation as sometimes
more than 20k hits are required.

What I am doing? ->  Through coding I'm checking rate limit status, if
it is available move further otherwise give user-defined error. As I am
using Abraham's code on github , I got rate limit status, but in coding, it
is not possible to enter username and password in twitter's authentication
window, as we are not authenticating from user side.(we will be
authenticating white listed accounts in back end side).So can I pass
username and password of these white listed account and get them
authenticated from twitter(instead of showing authentication window) and get
their rate limit status using Abraham's code.

In short, I need each of above white listed a/c 's rate limit status so
instead of authentication window, how can I get these white listed accounts
authenticated from twitter.

 Please suggest me the way to deal with this problem. Because my whole
application is ready, just stopped on this.

 Waiting for reply eagerly,
 Thank you in advance.

[twitter-dev] Facing problem.

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

Hi there,

I am using this (sample code)code to get ratelimit status:
ratelimit();

print_r($ratearr);

?>
ratelimit() function contains the url:"
http://api.twitter.com/1/account/rate_limit_status.xml";. I was getting rate
limit status with this up till now but now it gives error as "invalid
arguments supplied. "
But when I paste the same URL in address bar, I get rate_limit_status.

why this is so?


Rushi.

[twitter-dev] user data not getting in previous format.

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

Hi there,

  I got a big problem right now. I was getting user data, ratelimit,
followers list in xml with key value pairs but now I am getting only values.
 Due to this the app i am developing , giving error as INVALID ARGUMENTS
SUPPLIED FOR METHOD. I checked that, json format gives key-value pair. is
there any updates about this.

Getting key value in json format but it needs to save. Do we need to
always save .json response.?

waiting eagerly,
thank you in advance.

with regards,
Rushi

Re: [twitter-dev] Facing problem.

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

Hi,
  Yes, I had the same doubt, so I replaced a month back's TwitterAPI.php
file and tried to run, but no happy moment and saw same error.

   Actually I was working on another module of this project so was not in
touch with this, now I tried to run this but
I don't understand why this is so because it was running perfectly few
days back, but started giving error now.

   When I access ratelimit status through request URL it gives me data in
value form not in (key-value) of xml format as it was giving previously.

twitter is a class and ratelimit method has no arguments passed neither
before nor now.

 your help will be greatly appreciated,

Rushi

Re: [twitter-dev] user data not getting in previous format.

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

Hi Taylor,

Thank you for looking at my problem.

 I am using Mr David Billingham's PHP class file in application. "
http://twitter.slawcup.com/twitter.class.phps";.

Yes request URL include parameter as username to fetch data from methods
like userstatus($unm) (gives particular user's data) and followerscid($unm)
gives that user's followers info and ratelimit() method (gives
rate_limit_status).

One of the e.g to API request is:(these methods included in TwitterAPI.php,
having twitter as class name)
 function userstatus($unm)
{
   $request = 'http://api.twitter.com/1/users/show/'.$unm.'.xml';
return $this->process($request);
}
and call this method with twitter class object, gives error on accessing
data as invalid arguments supplied in the main code but when I call it
individually with print_r(arrayname) then it gives like- "bool(false)" .

Yes using xml as extension to get data in xml format.(not familiar with
.json format. )

There is no such proxy like thing as I hv uploaded files on server and
dealing directly with it.


Hope I was able to give you the actual problem status.

Please assist me on this.
Thank you in advance.

Rushi.

Re: [twitter-dev] Facing problem.

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

Hi there
  I have included TwitterAPI.php file in say show.php, in this main file
when i call first function ratelimit() and access it thru
foreach loop, it gives error as "Invalid arguments supplied for foreach".

  I thought that problem would be for ratelimit() only, but when I executed
userstatus($unm) and followers function individually in another file, it's
giving error as:  "bool(false)".

Thank you in advance.

[twitter-dev] xml formatted data?

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

Hi there,

   Can somebody here tell me that why I am getting .xml format data as only
values and not in key-value pair?

   Suppose request url is :
http://api.twitter.com/1/account/rate_limit_status.xml
   response is:
   143
   150
   1274354584
   2010-05-20T11:23:04+00:00

   why I am not getting "key:value" pair as getting previously.

Please help me on this.
Thank you in advance.

[twitter-dev] Problem with library?

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

Hi there,

 I am using PHP TWITTER library by David Billingham version "0.1".
Around 8 days back my app was working perfectly with this library

but now it's terrific.
   E.g  here what i am getting as a result for ratelimit() method:

phptwitter.php

[CODE]
http://twitter.com/account/rate_limit_status.xml';
$ratearr = $this->process($request);
}





   function process($url,$postargs=false){

$ch = curl_init($url);

if($postargs !== false){
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postargs);
}

if($this->username !== false && $this->password !== false)
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD,
$this->username.':'.$this->password);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);

[twitter-dev] Suggest me a good library

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

Hi there!

 I need to fetch user's all followers data in my app.

My first question is:

  1. which library shuld I use, to get followers data in least time,
basically does that depend on library?
   (right now I am using MyTwitter php class by  Andres "Artux" Scheffer
version 1.0).
  e.g to get 421 followers data using above library, it takes around 25
secs.

 2. what is the average time to get 500 followers data from twitter API.
(will that vary in case i.e if twitter is in over capacity phase. )

Please reply asap.

Thanks in advance.
Rishi.

[twitter-dev] Will you guys help me here?

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

Hi guys,

   with a hope to get some sort of help here,  I wanted to ask you guys,  I
am getting error while loading xml formatted data into   object
like:

*   "Warning*: simplexml_load_string()
[function.simplexml-load-string]:
Entity: line 50: parser error : Entity 'rsaquo' not defined in*
/home/ajit/public_html/honestfollowers.com/TwitterAPILibrary/mytwitter1.php*on
line
*486"

*   Line 486 on mytwitter1.php is :   $data =
simplexml_load_string($xml);
*
   *Due to this error I am not getting whole data of a user.

*   *Is it twitter overcapacity error? because this error comes usually when
even my twitter homepage comes in a damaged state.

   if this is not from twitter-side , what can be the problem(means like
internet speed or anything)?
*
   *I am using rest API method and My Twitter Class PHP by Andres "Artux"
Scheffer, Mozilla browser (v3.6.8).


   I will really appreciate your help guys.

   Thank you in advance.

[twitter-dev] What can this error be about?

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

Hi there,

We have developed an app (you can see http://honestfollowers.com), in which
user can search for his honest followers.

I have successfully tested this for users having up to 5k followers. But
when I search with users having greater than 5k followers (like 'imishant',
'ashabhosle' etc), I get below error :

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in
/home/rohit25/public_html/honestfollowers.com/get_data.php on line 356

Above error probably is encountered due to the foreach loop we are using
stops receiving data. I tried searching the same account (imishant) few
hours ago and the operation was crawled and executed completely. So I am
confused whether this is a problem from Twitter's side or not. I have tested
my app with many other accounts and many get executed completely but some
don't and those are mostly accounts with more than 15k followers. Also those
which displays error gets executed completely when searched on different
point of time. So is this a problem from Twitter's side? Does Twitter API
sometimes break operation if when sending huge chunks of data? What solution
you suggest to fetch and execute such amount of data?

No doubt site is perfectly running for users having below 2k, 3k followers.

P.S: We have white listed Twitter Account!

Thank you in advance!

[twitter-dev] Re: What can this error be about?

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

Hi Dean,

Thank you for trying out our app. You should check out our how it
works link (http://www.honestfollowers.com/howitworks.php). I just
went though your account and I can see you follow more than 500
people. According to us it is hard to keep up with all the updates
when someone follows that much amount of followers. Also when we check
several 100s of people who are honest followers we got to know the
maximum number a user can follow is 170. And if he is a client user
that number can be extended to 500. In your case you are exceeding the
limit which can make hard to you to follow all the updates. We are
trying to show you how many exactly honest followers you have and
those who read each and every tweet of yours. Also we have been
constantly making changes to make it perfect. I would love to hear
from you more about your experience on our site.

Thank you.

[twitter-dev] Re: What can this error be about?

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

Hi,

I see what you are saying. I am waiting for Twitter to reply on this
issue. There should be some alternate to get all this data. Otherwise
they wouldn't whitelist an account with 20,000 calls if this is the
case. Can you suggest any method where I can get all the data?

Thanks!

[twitter-dev] Need help to resolve this error.

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

Hi Taylor / Abraham,

  I really need your help in this case. My whole app is ready without this
small but important error.
 I have posted this question already, but didn't get proper answer, So I
request you to assist me correctly or suggest any solution, so that I can
move forward and get ready to release the site.
 ok the error says:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in
/home/rohit25/public_html/honestfollowers.com/get_info.php on line 435

Off course! not getting array(data) to the loop, but this doesn't
happens every time. I tested my each and every line of code, from where i am
getting data from twitter up to the display of data to user. This doesn't
give error to users having followers up to 1k, but fails where users having
lots of honest followers. can this be from twitter-side? confused.

Due to this, we have stopped search for users having followers more than
15k.
@abraham you are searched on site.

   You can have a look at this :
http://www.honestfollowers.com
  e.g users : 1. dineshkarthik_k
2. sreesanth36
  or anybody having a/c like this.

  We are not able to release the site, just because of this error.

 I really thanks to all the developers who have helped us until now.

waiting for your reply impatiently,

 Thank you in advance.

[twitter-dev] Need Help!! - How Oauth will work in my case?

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

Hi there,

I have a white-listed account, but the rate-limit has decreased from 20k
before 5 days to 12k right now. Initially I thought that this might be due
to twitter running over-capacity because I was busy in finishing part of app
to launch it in two days. But i just read one mail from Justin who is having
same problem, now I realized that this cut off might be due to basic auth. I
was also aware about the basic oauth shutting down, but didn't click the
mind.

We can switch to Oauth, but here are some doubts:

1. *What my app does*? -> in my app, when any twitter user enters his name-
we crawl his data thru userstatus method, then we crawl his all the
followers and show him his real followers.
   For this I am using My Twitter Library from Andres Scheffer, to which I
pass my white listed account user name and password to get all the data. *Now
which Oauth library should I prefer that will meet my requirement?*

2. *How Oauth is going to work*? -> I am doubtful that how Oauth is going to
work in my case, until now any user can enter his user name and was able to
get his result. now will I have to take Oauth from each searched user to
show his result?

If it is so how can I use my white listed account log ins to get 20k calls.

Please clear my doubts.

Thank you in advance.

[twitter-dev] White-listed IP showing rate-limit 150 requests/hour

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

Hi there,

I have got my IP and a/c white-listed, until now I was working on account
which was giving proper rate-limit, now I am trying to move from account
to IP, but IP just showing rate-limit 150 requests/hr. (just doubt: working
on sub domain of IP , will it be a cause? )

I just want to ask you that is there anything wrong I am doing?

Also my white-listed account showing rate-limit 2667/hr right now. can you
guys shed some light here please?

I also want to ask you guys that , if I switched from account (passing
id/pwd ) to IP , will I get 20k calls/hr or same like account showing right?

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Need Help!! - How Oauth will work in my case?

[Rushikesh Bhanage]

Hi Justin,

  First of all thank you for your reply.

I have some questions in your answer?

  You'll have to change clients
  - what clients you are talking about ?

   Changing auth schemes shouldn't change what you
   can get out of the API
 - If it is basic/ oauth , yes I am aware about that.

   Once you setup your user's app/ids the same
whitelist applies
 - what this means to you?

Can you tell me that as my account and IP is white-listed , If I switched
from account(id/password)  to  IP(where I won't need to pass ID/password) on
which I am working right now, in that case do I really need to do Oauth for
IP also?

Lastly congrats that you got all working again.

Thank you in advance.
