I see posts from several months ago, so I thought I ask again http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/134d3bf90a717f8d/806fa7325dd1c6e7?lnk=gst&q=twitter+favorites#806fa7325dd1c6e7
I need to regularly extract and process a users favorites and as noted in that previous link they appear to be stored by date of Tweet ID, which means to be fairly sure you get all the tweets you need to page through all of them ( a user could although admittedly unlikely, favourite a tweet that was older than last time you checked them). I note that the count parameter e.g. count=200 works but is undocumented which is helpful (that it works) - in one use case we have a user with over 1,500 favourites. It would be great to have this under-utilised feature in Twitter get a bit of API love and be modernised some more. I can achieve what I want by caching on my end, but it means I have to hit Twitter to fetch data I already have which isn't ideal - you don't want more API calls I don't want to take the time fetching data I almost certainly already have for the one in 100 chance it's changed. The documentation here is also a bit sketchy - for example, is there a page limit like with other calls? http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/favorites If so, it would be great to have it documented here. Thanks - I guess I'm just highlighting that there's at least one developer who's still interested in seeing the favourites updated, and I'm optimistically wondering if Twitter can provide any comment on where it's at in the planning. -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk
