[twitter-dev] lists/memberships and authentication

2011-04-10 Thread Idan Gazit
Hey All, The docs for :user/lists/memberships indicates that auth is required, and yet this method works without authentication. Is this just a bug in the docs? The same information *is* available for unauthenticated browsers on the twitter website. To be clear, I want to use this

[twitter-dev] Get friends who registered on my website?

2011-04-10 Thread Ig0r
Hello I'm coding one website which need a Find your Twitter friends here functionality. What is the best way to do it? At first I've decided to get user friends list. Then get 'name' of friends. And check that field in my website database. If names are the same - It's a possible users friend.

Hey Idan, The doc is indeed outdated, thanks for reporting it. The following lists endpoints do not require authentication: - /1/:user/lists/:id - /1/:user/lists/memberships - /1/:user/lists/subscriptions Arnaud / @rno http://twitter.com/rno On Sun, Apr 10, 2011 at 3:31 AM, Idan Gazit

[twitter-dev] Tweet Button vs ?Status=

2011-04-10 Thread DustyReagan
I'm torn between using the Tweet Button and simply linking to http://twitter.com/home?status=whatever ? It seems like the Tweet Button has a ton more overhead and complexity than a simple link with a querystring. I guess you get to show off your retweet count and solicite a follow with Tweet

Afaik Twitter is trying to get people to stop using /home?status=. You should use either /share or /intent. However: /share simply redirects to /intent. I'd definitely go with /intent/tweet because it allows more customization than /share. I definitely wouldn't use /home?status=. Tom On

As Tom said, you should use web intents if you're looking for a simple tweet link. It's really easy to implement, it doesn't require javascript, and it's mobile friendly. Oh, and you can also use the related and via parameters (if you like Tweet Button's suggested account system). More info on

My guess is you probably just received an HTTP 502 (FailWhale) at some point, this breaking your loop. What was the last HTTP response you received (including headers)? If it's a 502 error, just handle it in your loop (i.e. retrying after 10 seconds), and eventually reduce the count if that

Is there any way that I can somehow get access to the tweets of several dozen spam accounts (prior to when they're shut down) so that I can see what they're posting? Is this possible somehow? I think this is not possible as yet. (unless you are twitter themselves, they have the data but I dont

I've got a couple of my own apps (run from a linux shell) that tweet for various purposes (i.e. automatic tweets of today's weather data on my own twitter account). These apps need to be able to tweet on behalf of several twitter accounts, all of which I own. These worked very well with basic
