since_id limit

2008-12-01 Thread Trevor Turk
I'm just reviewing the API docs, and I'm not clear on something. http://apiwiki.twitter.com/REST+API+Documentation#replies If you pass in a since_id, then do you get ALL the results since that ID, or just the latest 20? I'm planning to ping Twitter every minute and collect the @replies sent to

If there are more than 20 results, you can use paging to grab them all. -Original Message- From: Trevor Turk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sun, 30 Nov 2008 23:16:14 To: Twitter Development Talktwitter-development-talk@googlegroups.com Subject: since_id limit I'm just reviewing the API

Stability of format of direct message and follower emails?

2008-12-01 Thread Alan Holding (brokendrum70)
Hello, This is my first discussion post, so apologies if this has been answered somewhere else. (I did a search but couldn't find anything that seemed to be about this.) To cut down on the number of API calls our application makes, we've written routines that extract relevant information from

Tips on speeding up OR queries?

Hi, OR search queries can take a long time and are causing lots of timeouts with google app engine. Amir

The timeout I see as more of a GAE issue, not a Twitter one. You get what you pay for, on both sides of that equation. No SLA, no billing from Twitter, beta and no billing on GAE's part ... and I think we can agree, GAE hasn't been particular forthcoming nor cooperative about what constitutes a

Which reinforces my it's a GAE problem stance ... GAE needs to accept the reality of the demands that will be placed on that system. Long-running operations against foreign servers is one among many such issues. On Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 9:23 PM, Amir Michail [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Dec 1,

Re: Cannot POST Updates; API returns a 400.

2008-12-01 Thread Cameron Kaiser
I'm testing the exact same open-source script as dabr.co.uk on my server. It uses curl to POST updates using JSON. However, everytime it makes a POST request, the API returns a Error code 400. All GET requests to the API seem to work just fine. You may wish to post some relevant portions of

Re: How to find out how many API requests have been used?

2008-12-01 Thread Cameron Kaiser
I started exploring the Twitter API in C# yesterday, and I have a question. Is it possible to find out how many requests out of the maximum 70 per hour have been already used up? Twhirl does this somehow, and they say that this counter will be the same in all Twitter applications, so I

Thank you. This is not in the C# library I'm using, but I'll configure it manually. Do you by any chance know whether updating status counts against the rate limit? I wrote a little test program for playing around with the API, that simply posts the time as a status message every 30 seconds.

Unfortunately, I'm not always made aware in advance when changes to language on the site and in emails are made. Whitelisting is one option, or let us know what other headers you'd need so that you don't have to parse the emails at all. On Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 14:46, Alan Holding (brokendrum70)
