[twitter-dev] Twitter post returns back without posting the tweet
Hello ,
I ma trying to post the tweet using the oAuth twitter API.
When I run the script It redirects me to the twitter authentication
page and ask for username and password of twitter.com and when I allow
the application it take me back to the return URL.
But the post is not updated to my account. I am using this code:
http://api.twitter.com/oauth/
authorize?".rfc3986_decode($body);
}
}
// Fill in the next 2 variables.
$access_token=$token;
$access_token_secret=$secret;
$tweet = 'i have just updated the new post';
// POST a tweet using OAuth authentication
$retarr = post_tweet(OAUTH_CONSUMER_KEY, OAUTH_CONSUMER_SECRET,
$tweet, $access_token,
$access_token_secret,
true, true,$url);
exit(0);
/**

[twitter-dev] xAuth Approval?
I recently submitted a request for xAuth approval for a mobile app. I was wondering if anyone knows roughly how long it takes for approval. Thanks! -- Subscription settings: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/subscribe?hl=en
[twitter-dev] Re: xAuth Approval?
Thanks for the info Raffi. I'll give it another day or two before following up on the status.

[twitter-dev] oauth/authenticate is redirecting me to oauth/authorize and giving a PIN
I am implementing some ruby on rails code tweet stuff for my users. I am creating the proper oauth link...something like http://twitter.com/oauth/authenticate?oauth_token=y2RkuftYAEkbEuIF7zKMuzWN30O2XxM8U9j0egtzKv but Twitter redirects the user to oauth/authorize after he clicks "Allow" which then gives him the 7 digit PIN! "You've successfully granted access to . Simply return to and enter the following PIN to complete the process. 1234567" According to this article http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Sign-in-with-Twitter Twitter should be redirecting the user to the callback URL I provided in the application settings when I hit the /oauth/authenticate path because that is saying that I am now a Desktop or iPhone app. Does anyone know why this is happening?
Rate Limit For Mass POSTs
I'm building an app for managing large twitter accounts and have two desires. One, to be able to mass-follow a selection of people who are following me. Two, to send direct messages to all followers or to slices of my followers. These may bring up etiquette/user-expectation/ spam issues, but first I want to get a very specific RATE limiting question answered. The documentation says that POST requests are not limited. My test account has 4900 followers and 4600 unfollowed followers. Can I DM them in parallel? Serially? Five at a time? What's the polite thing to do here? Thanks, Tony http://www.stubbleblog.com http://www.crowdvine.com
Re: Rate Limit For Mass POSTs
Thanks Alex, What's the limit on DMs per day and is that something that can be whitelisted by IP? I guess whitelisting by IP wouldn't make much sense in a general case. The project I'm working on is going to live on the web and live both inside and outside of CrowdVine. For the inside CrowdVine part, it's for paying conferences doing things like sending updates when a session changes rooms. I can vouch for them. But for general usage, I wouldn't want to open up a loophole. Thx, Tony On Oct 29, 5:17 pm, "Alex Payne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > For one, you'll need to get your account whitelisted.

Re: Twitter Trends
The search API only seems to support json for the trends, so if you want XML you'll have to perform your own conversion. http://json.org/ has a heap of tools and methods to do that in most programming languages.

[twitter-dev] Cookies for Tweet Button
I am a web developer with the Census Bureau. We are hoping to place the "Tweet" button on some of our pages (@USCensusBureau the official account for the Census!) Being that we are government we have rules about cookies on our web pages. I can see that Twitter sets a total of 14 cookies, 10 of which are persistent. I am trying to find any information regarding these cookies. I need to know what those cookies are and what information they are collecting and who sees that information. (For instance, I don't really care why __qca needs to exist indefinitely, but I would like to know what __qca is, what it's recording, who sees this, etc). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[twitter-dev] Twitter button code limiting cookies
I am hoping to add the Twitter Button to several pages at the Census, but need to limit the cookies (Being a government agency we have laws regarding cookies on our sites in addition to concerns over Personally Identifiable Information). I have noticed that I have 14 cookies related to twitter. Is there code for the like button which turns off specific cookies - or at least makes the button work with just session information?

[twitter-dev] Additional attribute in share link
I'm looking through the FAQ for the tweet button and am not seeing one of the attributes listed. On the page, the different examples have an underscore and equal and a 13 digit number (e.g. http://twitter.com/share?_=1306165040196 ). It looks like the first 10 digits could be a unix timestamp, but I'm not 100% sure about that. It also means the three digits at the end (196) are something else. I couldn't find anything in FAQ, so I'm hoping someone can help. What is this number? Thanks.
