Re: verify_credentials response changed
I'll be following the @twitterapi bot from now on. This took me by surprise. 8 days notice is not a lot of time for everyone. Considering development, testing, and release cycles, even a small change can take longer than 8 days for larger applications.
verify_credentials response changed
It used to be that calling http://twitter.com/account/verify_credentials.xml would return a simple authorizedtrue/authorized answer when given a correct username and password. Now it appears to be returning an entire serialized user object. This change has broken the authentication process for the existing releases of my application. Is this change permanent, or is it a temporary glitch?

Permanent. See posts on the list about a week ago, and issue in tracker. -- Ed Finkler http://funkatron.com AIM: funka7ron ICQ: 3922133 Skype: funka7ron On Dec 11, 11:20 am, JakeS [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It used to be that callinghttp://twitter.com/account/verify_credentials.xml would return a simple authorizedtrue/authorized answer when given a correct username and password.

I believe API changes will be announced by @twitterapi but I dunno if they'll be mentioned with any meaningful notice period there. Your best bet is to get a daily digest of the emails to this list and scan through them every day. -Stut -- http://stut.net/ On Dec 11, 10:30 am, Stut [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 11 Dec 2008, at 16:20, JakeS wrote: It used to be that callinghttp://twitter.com/account/verify_credentials.xml would return a simple authorizedtrue/authorized answer when given a correct username and password.

Re: verify_credentials response changed
I do hope you'll continue to use @twitterapi and give us fair warning there. While appreciate the google groups as a resource, I am concerned it's not the best means of communicating breaking API changes to the large number of third-party developers out there. Thank you for your help.

We'll try to find other avenues for communicating these changes.
