Re: Change to Twitter API?
I'm also seeing problems with this. It's causing some pretty big
problems for our app. Sometimes the xml endpoint just returns empty
xml. This is happening consistently with this one account, but works
fine for other accounts.
Example:
coruns-macbook-pro-2:~ Corun$ curl -u Corun:_censored_
http://twitter.com/users/show/Corun.xml
coruns-macbook-pro-2:~ Corun$ curl -u Corun:_censored_
http://twitter.com/users/show/Corun.json

Re: Change to Twitter API?
I think this should be evelated to bug status -- I've been seeing this for 3 days now. Sometimes http://twitter.com/users/show/(screen_name).xml shows full info, but most of the time it doesn't. Very erratic behavior. On Dec 11, 9:50 am, Shannon Whitley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am having problems with My Tweeple as well.

I am having problems with My Tweeple as well.

I am no longer seeing created_at in the returned user record for http://twitter.com/users/show/id.xml.

Re: Change to Twitter API?
Still the same problem; the XML version of the API no longer seems to be returning the full data. It never made sense that this would be a cache issue; beacuse this should return new data every time we request the XML file; what good is data that is 24 hours old?

Re: Change to Twitter API?
Alex, I think there might still be an issue with this fix. I've run through many test cases (including your profile) and all of them are still failing to return the full object. It looks like this might be just an issue with the xml format of / users/show (the json output seems to contain all the data). Thanks for all the hard work. If I can provide any more detail or testing assistance, let me know.

Re: Change to Twitter API?
The fix was deployed yesterday, about 17 hours ago. Any incorrect responses are just cached data that will be evicted over time. Nothing should live in the cache longer than 24 hours, so all should be correct within the next 7 hours.

Re: Change to Twitter API?
Fixed: irregular/truncated attributes in responses from /users/show You also truncated the theme values that I was using to skin my app according to the user preferences. It's ok to have an authenticated method that gives you everything and one unauthenticated that give you parts of it (anonymize the db). Can you please tell me what are the plans? Should I add authentication to the requests? When will this be fixed? Thanks. Nuno On Dec 9, 7:32 pm, itcn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Alex; > Thanks for the prompt response and updates!!

Apologies once again. We introduced a regression as part of another bug fix. We're doing an emergency deploy right now, so the correct behavior should be live again shortly.

Change to Twitter API?
This used to work for unauthenticated users to display statuses_count and now it doesn't: http://twitter.com/users/show/(screen_name).xml Any reason this was changed recently? Is there another way to access a user's status count (preferably without requiring the user's authentication)?
