@fastest963: Well I was thinking of using Twitter for some nice simple automated communication and for my application 10-15s is a little slow. @Alex: What do you mean works over HTTP? So I'd have to poll? How is that a firehose solution? I'm genuinely confused. On Nov 26, 11:02 pm, fastest963 <

As far as I know, the Firehose API would only be for retrieving data from Twitter and not sending (POST). @bham 10-15s isn't that bad? If it was over a minute then I would be concerned. As far as the latency, I can assume that it is just because of the caching that Twitter has put into place.

You can request your account or IP to be whitelisted via: http://twitter.com/help/request_whitelisting Also, depending on the account, you shouldn't be required to make many requests a minute to check their direct messages. (Unless of course your user is an insane DMer) Hope that helps!

When you receive a direct message twitter sends an email to you containing the message, also if you check the headers of the email there are some custom headers that will have the persons name and id who sent you the message. Here are the headers I received from a recent message: X-Twittercreate

I'm pretty sure that email address will never be returned in any requests from the API so using the basic username should always work. On Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 10:10, elaverick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > How do I find the user id of the currently authenticating user in the > least server inten

API Limits for me to extract Direct messages

I'd like to set up a Twitter app much like XPENSR where I take those direct messages and do something with the data. If I just pull my Direct message via http://twitter.com/direct_messages.xml?page=1 then as soon as those messages hit any volume I'd hit a rate limit wouldn't I?

We've mentioned this before, but yes, we assume that you're referring to the replied-to user's last status when you don't specify which ID you're replying to. We don't look for "@username" anywhere other than the beginning of the status to make this guess. On Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 17:48, Chad Etz
