Yup, until some other under-the-hood stuff changes, we can't really hand out a user's archive in a single request/response in a timely and database-friendly fashion. You'll still have to page through to get a user's full archive, but with effectively non-existent rate limits, this should be much

Hi Alex, Thanks for the updates - one of the things I noticed is that the "archive" API method was marked as wontfix. I was wondering what this means for the future of accessing our Twitter history? Is this just something where we won't be able to export it in one shot, but still have access to

The main thing that's changing with the new release of the API is the URL scheme. We're cleaning things up, moving things around, making the whole thing more RESTful. I'll confer with @mzsanford and see about sharing our proposed set of URLs/methods. Generally, though, we're still the same serv

The rewrite of the api has been on the cards for a while, and I've kind of avoided doing any major work on Hahlo until I knew what was happening, however it got the better of me last weekend and I began work on Hahlo 4 which itself is a complete re-write. Given that its a re-write how much do you

We'll keep the current version running for a stretch (probably six months tops) as developers transition over to the new version of the API. On Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 12:33, Chad Etzel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks for the update! For those of us doing current development with the > API, will

Thanks for the update! For those of us doing current development with the API, will the current version be kept around for a while (as a legacy version I guess) so that we may continue development as the new API is being rolled out? Or will it be a cut-over situation when the new API is released?
