Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter Stream closed when another stream tries to connect with the same credentials..

No, its designed to do that to prevent you from connecting more than once with 
a set of credentials.

You need to be a lot more specific about what you're asking for help with.

We have no interest in helping you with the other listed services, only your

Use the API to do that.

[twitter-dev] Tweet Button Zero Count and Hashes... Add hash to original_referer please?

[Scott Phillips]

I've tried every variation to try and get this to work, but I think in
the end it's a bug.

Using the iframe button, the latest code I've tried sets the url and
counturl as the same:
http://propertylabs.smugmug.com/services/graph/gallery/11425833_KwDKP/803171493_Cscqq

Which will usually redirect to:
http://propertylabs.smugmug.com/SunnySide/Ladybugs-2009-2010/11425833_KwDKP#803171493_Cscqq-A-LB

If I set that URL as the counturl, it doesn't work either, and I think
the issue is that you guys are ignoring everything after the hash, so
the final destination url never looks valid.

When I look at the code you generate, the original_referer (which I'm
guessing you validate against) doesn't have any hash info on it.

original_referer=http%3A%2F%2Fpropertylabs.smugmug.com%2FSunnySide
%2FLadybugs-2009-2010%2F11425833_KwDKP

Any chance you can add hashinfo to original_referer? Assuming that's
what you use to check against. Or does anyone have any other
suggestions?

They'll only change when you reset your consumer key/secret and perhaps your

I'm sure your issue lies elsewhere. I've got apps named the same as an account 
and it works fine as far as I can remember.

What errors are you seeing, what calls are you making and what programming 
language are you using?

Re: [twitter-dev] Building a Find your Twitter friends feature for a web app

Get the list of users that your authenticated user is following:

Then compare each of those to your user database and then present to the user.

Re: [twitter-dev] Create your own trends from only people you follow

Hi Hugh,

Yes, your home timeline would consist  of all those you follow and anything 
retweeted by those users. That should fit perfectly for you.

Re: [twitter-dev] How to autologin to twitter by providing the username and password using API?

[Scott Wilcox]

 Are you attempting to 'auto-login' to the twitter.com site or perform actions 
with the Twitter API for various users?

The first, can't be done. The second will be xAuth which in turn will provide 
OAuth tokens for your application to use on behalf of a user.

You can read more about xAuth at http://dev.twitter.com/pages/xauth

Re: [twitter-dev] Couldn't resolve host 'stream.twitter.com

Being unable to resolve the host is a network condition between you and the 
Twitter API. I'd check your DNS settings on your machine/server.

stream.twitter.com is up and working fine for me.

Re: [twitter-dev] Create your own trends from only people you follow

You'll need to use the streaming API to collect the timeline and then process 
that data yourself to deduce the most frequently used terms.

Streaming API documentation can be found at http://dev.twitter.com/doc

http://dev.twitter.com/doc has the API documentation.

If you state the platform you'll be developing on then people will provide you 
with libraries to use and more information.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Search all tweets by application

As Orian said, if you want to know every single tweet posted by your

can provide this information for you.

Re: [twitter-dev] Send a tweet with custom login C++ (BEGINNER)

[Scott Wilcox]

You need to use OAuth to use the Twitter API. Having users enter a username and 
password to gain an OAuth token is achieved via xAuth which is a special type 
of OAuth flow that requires approval for your app from Twitter.

Re: [twitter-dev] One access token for OAuth using Twitter API

[Scott Wilcox]

Yes, the 'My Access Token' would suit that use case.

You need to use Twitter Intents instead of the old (and unsupported) ?status=

Re: [twitter-dev] API tweet ID field issue

[Scott Wilcox]

The parser you're using can't handle the 'snowflake' generated IDs, the numbers 
are too huge for it.

Use id_str instead.

Re: [twitter-dev] API response w/ IP

[Scott Wilcox]

Depends how they're routing the outbound traffic. You'll need to bind your 
calls to that IP. If its PHP and you're using CURL, I believe its 
CURLOPT_INTERFACE.

There is nothing provided by the API that can give you your own IP.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: A new permission level

[Scott Wilcox]

Hello,

There have been a lot of opinions voiced about how this is being implemented. 
This not only proves troublesome for xAuth clients, but it lends me to worry 
about how the future of permissions will evolve. Effectively now, every single 
Twitter user needs to get their application re-authed for the new tokens to 
provide DM access by the end of the month.

The Facebook style of using a 'scope' for individual permissions is so much 
more viable. I also believe that the API should provide a lookup for the 
permissions that a set of credentials currently provides. I honestly believe 
that going down the 'scope' route for permissions will be a lot better for all 
concerned. When new permissions are introduced to the API in the future, it 
would be a small matter of updating the requesting scope for the application 
developer, rather than completely rewriting chunks of code.

I'd like a response from Matt, Taylor or Raffi on this matter and the plans for 
future permissions and their implementation.

Re: [twitter-dev] More access to Twitter API's

There aren't any endpoints other than the search API for searching for tweets. 
The other option may be looking at Gnip, but I'm not too sure that they can 
offer what you're looking for either.

Re: [twitter-dev] REST API Rate Limiting - OAuth calls are permitted 350 requests per hour, but we got 150

[Scott Wilcox]

The rate limits change through the day, not always fixed to 350. Are they 
staying at 150 all the time? Check over a period of time to see if so.

Re: [twitter-dev] How application shoud get to know if access token is revoked?

[Scott Wilcox]

If you have existing tokens for a user, make a call to the verify_credentials 
endpoint. If you get an error back, tokens aren't valid.

Twitter doesn't provide 'pings' for when users un-authorise your application.

Re: [twitter-dev] Getting past the rate-limiting confusion

[Scott Wilcox]

Each OAuth user you're making requests on behalf of gets 350 calls. So, in 
total you do have 350*100 calls, but only a maximum of 350 for each user. You 
can check the headers being returned from the API to see what class of 
rate-limting is being enforced. What action are you performing when you're 
hitting the rate-limiting?

[twitter-dev] oAuth passthrough

[Scott Herbert]

I'm sure this has been asked thousands of time, but I can't locate
where so I'll ask it anyway.

I'm in the early stages of implementing a web app which uses Twitter
(and Facebook) as authorising agents for the user to login. There is
currently (currently in the design) no direct user login (i.e. no
username/password combo for my site) just authorisation via the two
largest social media sites.

This is done in order to simplify the sign-up process (three click and
your signed-up one and your logged in, and no additional password to
remember) and add to the sites security (fb and twitter's security
system is better then I could design).

As I say I'm in the early stages, but I thought it's prudent to think
ahead and so I was brainstorming an API (what data could I expose to
third parties, could I take payments/sales and make payments etc.) and
hit a snag.

Since I'm not allowing users to have their own passwords for the site
and all logins are via oAuth (I don't know if FB call it oAuth, but
the workflows the same) how do I allow third parties to log users in?

I can't provide them my tokens (Even I'm not that insane), and I've
got a feeling using my server as an proxy to pass the oAuth data back
and forward would be against the rules (or just not work) as it feels
like something I would ban to prevent phishing.

So how do I allow users to login to my site via twitter (and for a
bonus point facebook) using third party apps (mobile, desktop, web
etc.)

Thanks in advance

[twitter-dev] oauth for my app and my own twitter accounts

[Scott Crevier]

I've got a couple of my own apps (run from a linux shell) that tweet
for various purposes (i.e. automatic tweets of today's weather data on
my own twitter account). These apps need to be able to tweet on behalf
of several twitter accounts, all of which I own. These worked very
well with basic authentication. I didn't have to worry about storing
customers' passwords because I have no customers. It's all my own
stuff.

Is there a simpler method to use than the full OAuth solution?

I read the info here: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth_overview

I can't tell if any of the methods described fit my situation. Bottom
line is that I have no customers, no third parties using my apps. Is
there an ideal authentication method for this situation?

If you're max'ing out on the domains, there isn't anything you can do about

Re: [twitter-dev] Error : Timestamp out of bounds

[Scott Wilcox]

It may mean the clock on your server is inaccurate.

Check the date/time and try again.

Re: [twitter-dev] Question about storing username & password like tweetdeck

[Scott Wilcox]

You can think what you like, but I can guarantee you that Tweetdeck uses XAuth 
to obtain OAuth tokens to use for your account instead of pushing you through 
the OAuth/OOB dance.

Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter followers in excel

[Scott Wilcox]

Hello there,

There is no method to do this straight from the API.

What 'details' of each follower are you interested in having?

Can you elaborate on why you're interested in having an export to excel if 
possible too.

Scott.

Re: [twitter-dev] Are embedded videos available through the API?

[Scott Wilcox]

Hi Adam,

I've not seen anything API side for it (for public use), I think mostly its 
built into the NewTwitter UI. Probably rendered inline.

It'll be interested to see Ryan or Taylor respond to this, but I doubt there is 
anything for us to use.

 I don't expect everyone to be able to use User Streams or Site Streams,

 that is why the REST API exists.

Re: [twitter-dev] Invalid username/password

[Scott Wilcox]

That code will no longer work, basic authentication is no longer support for 
the Twitter API. You will need to use OAuth to do so.

You can find some examples of using the twitter-async library written by Jaisen 
Mathai at:

https://github.com/dordotky/oauth-twitter-examples

Hope this helps.

Scott.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Requesting increased access levels for Streaming API

Highly unlikely. At the present time it's either the Streaming API or using 
GNIP.

I don't believe there are any use cases where they would provide you with 
elevated Streaming API access to the level you desire.

Bearing mind that I run tweekly.fm, some of this issues are of interest to me 
too.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: get user email address

[Scott Wilcox]

Hello,

As Taylor has just said to you, it is impossible to get a users email address 
from the Twitter REST API. If you want a users email address you will have to 
explicitly ask them for it yourself.

You still have the ability to change to a newly developed client if you want to.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Do new ToS conditions apply to my app?

[Scott Wilcox]

For those following this thread, I've just posted on a similar one.

I don't think any fear of having your application shut down will come to 
fruition. I feel that I could safely say that only applications that generate 
spam like noise will be removed. I really don't see non-spam like applications 
being shutdown. Every application has a purpose to either one or a set of 
users, that is why it was developed in the first place.

I think what Ryan has said is firing a shot against the bow of the spam 
generating applications - that their type of activity is not wanted on the 
platform.

So in short, your personal projects, applications and tools should all be fine 
- just don't generate spam with them.

Perhaps Ryan was urging folks to spend their time and money on creating 
innovative products and not on a new client that would probably not get a large 
user base due to the official clients marketshare?

Hello,

For a few days now I've read what people have said in reply to the update from 
Ryan. There are some crazy reactions and responses to what Ryan has said. In 
essence, the entire reaction is my opinion is completely overblown.

Not in any sense what-so-ever have Twitter said that you can no longer post 
updates on behalf of users. Its ludicrous to suggest so. What they have have 
said (and in my opinion - quite clearly) is that it is better to direct your 
time and effort into a product that is not just a simple client and does more 
than just provide viewing and posting of tweets. There are so many half-arsed 
clients out there that do little more than just show and post tweets. If by 
chance a user was to use these low grade applications as their first experience 
of Twitter, it would probably put them off using it in the long term.

I do fully believe that is why they have released their own branded clients for 
iOS, Macs and other devices. It provides a consistent experience for the 
end-users. 

The other thing that people seem to completely overlook is that Twitter are 
providing a freely accessible API at no charge to developers. It pains me to 
see so many developers standing the moral high ground. If you were paying for 
access to a service or product and it changes, you have a very valid reason to 
complain. To complain about a service provided free of charge for you to use at 
the end of the day frustrates me to no end. No single developer has a god given 
right to have access to the API, perhaps that should be remembered.

Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter Dev: Possible to reassign credentials?

I'd contact a...@twitter.com to ask.

Re: [twitter-dev] Policy on opening up more than one stream using the same credentials

[Scott Wilcox]

If you connect more than one application to a stream, it'll disconnect your 
other one from what I've seen in practice. Use a separate account which then 
means you're adhering to the TOS.

Re: [twitter-dev] Can't sign in to dev.twitter.com

[Scott Wilcox]

You should already be signed in with your Twitter account if you've come from 
twitter.com (and were signed in). Failing that, goto 
http://dev.twitter.com/login and sign in with your twitter username and 
password.

No, you'll need to use OAuth.

Re: [twitter-dev] Is there a feature in the API to access past number of lists?

[Scott Wilcox]

No, there are no current endpoints that could provide you with this 
information. You would have to start tracking it yourself to do so.

I'd guess that you're not encoded the message content properly.

Re: [twitter-dev] Getting larger scale user avatars

[Scott Wilcox]

Hi Tom,

You can change the ending of the URL to manipulate the image, like so:

This is the returned JSON which is 48x48px:
"profile_image_url" : 
"http://a1.twimg.com/profile_images/1229819325/bw_normal.jpg";

73x73px:
http://a1.twimg.com/profile_images/1229819325/bw_bigger.jpg

Original:
http://a1.twimg.com/profile_images/1229819325/bw.jpg
Hope thats helpful.

Scott.

Re: [twitter-dev] twitter functions

No, at the moment, the 'mentioning' of those users is the only possible way.

Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter API - Logout

[Scott Wilcox]

There is no 'logout' functions. The API is stateless. 

When you get OAuth tokens for a user, you're not logging them in, you're merely 
getting access to their account. Any login/logout functionality must be 
implemented by you.

Scott.
