[twitter-dev] Question about rate limiting

I am developing an app that allows users to "login" with twitter. I'm a bit confused about the rate limiting applied to verifying credentials of users. Is it 350/hour for the application, or per user that uses the application? For example, could 1000 people signin within an hour, or am I limi

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Checking whether a user has given permission to Private Messages

Hey again, For more consistency, the X-Access-Level header value for the "Read, Write & Direct Message" scope is going to be "read-write-directmessages" (rather than "read-write-privatemessages"). We'll also update the Client Application management pages (using "Direct Messages" and not "Private M

Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter Streaming API & blocked user

Hi Taylor, What about "no retweets from this user" information? I wasn't able to find an API call that would provide me this information, apparently it's not available inside the status or user objects either. -- Cezar Sá Espinola On Wed, May 18, 2011 at 11:30 AM, Taylor Singletary < taylorsing

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Checking whether a user has given permission to Private Messages

We just started to return the "X-Access-Level" header for authenticated API requests, that tells you what access level the user token has: - "read" (Read-only) - "read-write" (Read & Write) - "read-write-privatemessages" (Read, Write, & Private Message) The FAQ on http://dev.twitter.com/pages/app

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Streaming API credentials

You're right. The simplest (only?) way would be to create an account specifically for managing your app. I believe there was a recent post on this list talking about that being the norm, but I couldn't find it. I'd love for the app to have it's own credentials, and allow for assigning multiple t

I think I found the answer from themattharris: > How do we know what the access level of a user token is? This is a great idea and one the team has discussed. What we are going to do is add a new header to authentication requests that will tell you the access level of the token you authenticated

"From my testing, I am pretty sure authorize supports callback urls." It does, sorry if I wasn't clear on that. So for your other question, yes, the new permission (for Read Write and Private Messages) will only be settable from the /authorize endpoint. Further up in the same thread: "You said y

[twitter-dev] Re: Streaming API credentials

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but I believe that access token/secret pair are still *my* access token and secret for that application. That is, they can be used to access my personal Twitter data. I'm uncomfortable using my personal credentials (or those of any individual user) for this purpose. Wha

Re: [twitter-dev] Authorize vs. Authenticate

I believe the only difference is that the authenticate route could be used by only web based applications (ie they need to have a callback url) and allows for the force_login param. The authenticate can be used by either desktop or web apps, but do not support the force_login...but this may be cha

Re: [twitter-dev] Streaming API credentials

You would create a twitter app at https://dev.twitter.com/apps After you create it, there is a "My Access Token" button on the details page for your application. I /believe/ that will get you what you want. James On Mon, May 23, 2011 at 3:04 PM, Craig Walls wrote: > > I'd like to use the strea

I can't seem to find the difference, does anyone know? Previous to the new permission system I sent my users to http://twitter.com/oauth/authenticate/ But for some reason no matter what I do, it says at the bottom This application will not be able to: Access your private messages. So I changed t

[twitter-dev] Streaming API credentials

I'd like to use the streaming API to track certain terms that I'll ultimately present to all of my web application's users. For instance, I want my app to display all tweets for some event, identified by some hashed term. I see that the streaming API (unlike the search API) requires authenticatio

[twitter-dev] Selling Content vs. Selling a Service

A number of "chat" groups have grown up around Twitter. One of the big requirements for these groups is to produce a transcript for each chat session. While the content is free, there is a cost associated with the collection of tweets and generation of the transcripts for each group. Many c

[twitter-dev] Re: Which API to use / getting started question

Thanks for the feedback, but that's not quite what I was looking for. I'm not looking simply for a display of the user's tweets client side, but to get them server side and do stuff based on the contents of the tweet. For example (making this up), I might track the number of times a given word is

Re: [twitter-dev] Twitter Mentions since_id

Hey Paul, If you can, I recommend you use header-based OAuth (passing OAuth related parameters in an Authorization header, instead of the query string). Which signature base string are you using? Are you using a library? If yes, could you share the code you're using? :) Arnaud / @rno

I'm looking through the FAQ for the tweet button and am not seeing one of the attributes listed. On the page, the different examples have an underscore and equal and a 13 digit number (e.g. http://twitter.com/share?_=1306165040196 ). It looks like the first 10 digits could be a unix timestamp, but
