I don't know about a "karma" score, but Twitalyzer does have an API and so does Klout. For that matter, Viralheat has an API and they can get both Twitalyzer and Klout scores. That said, I don't know that there's ever really going to be a "one size fits all" Twitter user metric. But there a

Rating/scoring users is something I'm working on as well and I agree. I've found sorting out bots and pure spammers to be very difficult. Some folks tweet so much they resemble bots/spam. Feels like a pipe dream but if they can I'd love a karma scoring system directly from the API. On Oct 16,

Hey guys, Thank you so much for your prompt response! The URL that I provided came from Twitter+OAUTH sdk that I'm using on my iPhone App. I was assuming that this library was going to create the correct URL for me... but it seems that it is generating something else or could it be that that my l

In addition make sure you add the parameter include_rts=1 to the request. The include_rts flag instructs the API to include retweets in the response. Looking at the timeline you requested it looks as if the last 20 Tweets by that user are retweets - which, by default, are not included in the tim

[twitter-dev] Follow-back should always be private

I’m looking to implement this feature on my site as I can really see the value in it. But as you have pointed out I can also see the danger in it. If spammers knew who had follow-back turned on they would seek out these users and follow them, knowing they would get followed back. They could then po

It should be pointed out that those aren't valid API URLs.. You want to execute these requests against API.twitter.com/1/resource... The best way to construct your URL would be like this: (it reduces ambiguity) https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=justinbieber&count=

I really like the option of reporting spam via the api. I’ve been blocking spam on my site for a long time but this gives me an option to report it now, and hopefully get these account suspended quicker so that they don’t come back. It would be really great if we could have a proactive api functio
