[twitter-dev] Re: How to change Source name to Client tool Source?
If, for example, I wanted to update the client name through a command line interface, with the following bash script: curl -u username:password -d status=$* http://twitter.com/statuses/update.json /dev/null How/where would I enter that source name? Expand -d to source=bletchstatus=$* Rinse and repeat, assuming you already have shampoo (i.e., that your source key was already approved and is active). -- personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- A pedestal is as much a prison as any small, confined space. -- G.

curl -u username:password -d status=$* http://twitter.com/statuses/update.json /dev/null Expand -d to source=bletchstatus=$* ... and of course quote the , which I forgot to do. -- personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- When you're in love, the whole world is German! -- Hogan's Heroes

After it has been approved, do we need to add source parameter to all twitter status updates? Or does twitter do it automatically?

Ricky, For updates to reflect that your application was the source, you must indicate this with each request. Include a parameter named source with a value equal to the key supplied to Twitter during registration so we know the update comes from your application.

We are trying to develop client app for twitter. I was looking at the
following code snippet:
/// summary
/// Source is an additional parameters that will be used to
fill the From field.
/// Currently you must talk to the developers of Twitter at:
///http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/
/// Otherwise, Twitter will simply ignore this parameter and
set the From field to web.
/// /summary
public string Source
{
get { return source; }
set { source = value; }
}

What do i we need to do the change source from 'Web' to our client
tool name?
