 I don't think I've seen anything like that - Twitter tends to  announce
 format changes on this list, but I don't know that there's  a reference
 document anywhere. When I write Streaming tests, I  usually just grab
 whatever comes down the pipe and stash it away as  text, or parse the JSON
 to a Perl or Ruby object and flatten the  resulting hash. Of course, I'm
 just generating CSV - more advanced  users might simply be using a
 leading-edge NoSQL data store. ;-)

Yeah - at my current scale, I have absolutely no desire to use  
anything but PostgreSQL. It has a bunch of neat stuff like full text  
search and some key-value store capabilities, plus JSON storage is  
coming (in about a year). Solid as a rock and no licensing problems  
(except from Oracle pushing them off of previously donated SPARC  
testing hardware.) ;-)


The only downside to PostgreSQL is that they really don't like Ruby or  
Rails. But they're *very* Python and Perl friendly and the preferred  
database for Django.

 Hi Omri,

 With basic auth, you don't use your consumer key or secret at all.
Consumer
 key and secret are used when authorizing through OAuth, and the

 In your case, you want to use basic authorization, which should be

 Here are some pointers in the right direction for using basic auth

Hi Omri,

With basic auth, you don't use your consumer key or secret at all. Consumer
key and secret are used when authorizing through OAuth, and the
implementation is a bit more detailed than putting them in a header.

In your case, you want to use basic authorization, which should be easier
for your initial implementation.

Here are some pointers in the right direction for using basic auth with
Python's urllib2: http://docs.python.org/library/urllib2.html#examples

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: help with accessing the streaming api

2010-09-09 Thread Taylor Singletary
Hi Omri,

The Streaming API has various levels of access. The most basic doesn't
require any kind of permission, and that's utilizing the sampling resource,
documentation for which can be found here:
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_methods#statuses-sample and
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_concepts#sampling

For additional permissions, you'll want to fill out this form:
http://twitter.com/help/request_streaming as well as send a note to
a...@twitter.com (from the same email address associated with the account you
used the form) specifically asking for the role that makes sense for your
implementation.

It's best to get started with the sampling stream, as it lets you begin
coding against the streaming API from a stream that isn't too aggressive in
the amount of data it will be throwing at you.

What are you interested in building?

Taylor

What text message does it return with the 401 error?
 
You can still use basic auth with streaming. Does that work for you?
 You
should use your screenname and password for basic auth.

  The Streaming API will print a short text message along with

   that
 is
  often a very explicit indication of the problem. I don't think it
   throws
 500
  errors (see:
  http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_response_codes)
 so
  something odd is going on. If anything, it is throwing a 406, as
 you
 haven't
  provided parameters to track.

  for tweet in firehose:
  print tweet

   when printing the request i have  500 error, it is not
 reachable.
 
   do you have an idea why?
