Hey Gohar The number of result matches is not given. The volume of tweets is so great, that results are given only as far back as 7 days time, and many queries would not deliver the full result set. Thanks Peter On Oct 3, 2009, at 5:54 AM, Gohar Sultan contact2go...@gmail.com wrote:

You just have to loop through and count manually. There is no number coming from twitter. On Oct 3, 2009, at 9:14 AM, Gohar Sultan contact2go...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks Chris and Peter, But for example if i want to only fetch today's tweets even those are not countable i guess?

[twitter-dev] http vs https for twitter api calls

2009-10-03 Thread Andy Freeman
When should I use https instead of http in twitter api calls? I'd guess that it's okay to use http for oauth-authenticated /show/ user and maybe /statuses/update, but what about the four oauth calls (/ oauth/request_token, /oauth/authorize, /oauth/authenticate, and /oauth/ access_token)?

Anytime you are sending authentication information you should use https. I personally use https for everything. Abraham On Sat, Oct 3, 2009 at 12:03, Andy Freeman ana...@earthlink.net wrote: When should I use https instead of http in twitter api calls? I'd guess that it's okay to use http

HTTPS is a secure and encrypted transfer protocol for HTTP. HTTPS is designed to hide sensitive data (passwords, credit card numbers) from malicious persons. So it's safe to say that whenever you will be transferring sensitive data (OAuth, passwords) you should use HTTPS. On Sat, Oct 3, 2009

Somehow I suspect that no, we probably can't help. But putting that initial feeling aside: have you read the documentation? The parts that talk about the source parameter not working with HTTP Basic Auth -- only works with OAuth ? ∞ Andy Badera ∞ +1 518-641-1280 ∞ This email is: [ ] bloggable

The authenticated calls are signed with a 'secret' but don't return secret information. The /oauth calls are also signed with a secret but do return secret information. On Oct 3, 10:16 am, Adam Shannon a...@ashannon.us wrote: HTTPS is a secure and encrypted transfer protocol for HTTP.  HTTPS

You have to use the OAuth process for the user to authorize your application. There is no way around this. On Oct 3, 2009, at 4:02 PM, todd434 todd...@googlemail.com wrote: In that case can you tell me how to authorize my application without going through pages of code in OAuth?

RTFM buddy. You gotta make some effort here on your own. You want people to write your code? Hire a consultant. You can reach me at the number below. Note: there are plenty of dead-simple OAuth howtos and even fully-fledged libraries out there in your language of choice to put this together
