I am trying to upload a profile image to twitter using their API. I found some good examples on the web on how to format the URLRequest, however I just can't seem to get this to work. Any help would be appreciated. The URL that I am using from Twitter API is http://twitter.com/account/update_profile_image.json -(void)uploadImageForAccou...
I'm looking to create a Twitter map visualization much like these: http://twittermap.tv/ http://beta.twittervision.com/ However, according to the Streaming API docs: https://twitterapi.pbworks.com/Streaming-API-Documentation#locations Twitter only permits streaming API access of an area's bounding box with each side's length equal t...

Building an actionscript Twitter client and using OAuth for the sign in process. Having an extremely frustrating issue with the following error message. '403 Forbidden: The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it.' The following 2 steps ALWAYS work after I click my 'Sign In with Twitter' button, I make it to the T...
Hi, I have a big list of Twitter users stored in a database, almost 1000. I would like to use the Streaming API in order to stream tweets from these users, but I cannot find an appropriate way to do this. Help would be very much appreciated. ...
I just downloaded the DotNetOpenAuth library and ran the AuthConsumer demo. It is an excellent library so far! Everything worked as advertised, which has not been my experience with a lot of Facebook and Twitter sample code that I have been working with recently. What I am trying to figure out is: How do I tweet using this library? I ...
Is there a way to view twitter statuses for a particular day through the API? I figured this would be a pretty basic function, but after looking through the documentation and parameters it doesn't seem to be so straight forward. Has anyone done this through the API? I know it possible, b/c the Momento app for iPhone pulls it off flawless...
I am writing a simple applet (my first) to retrieve the most recent status from a twitter account. This works fine when running from javaw.exe launched from within eclipse. However, when run from a browser I get the error: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission twitter.com:80 connect, resolve) ...
Is there any method in the Facebook API that will return the status messages of the most recently updated accounts (similar to the GetPublicTimeline method from Twitter's API)? To be a little more specific, I'm planning on using Python to do the data retrieval, and I was wondering if there was a way to get the Public Timeline using PyFac...
Is there a way for me to determine the total number of Twitter messages on a given trend topic (e.g. frequency of Twitter messages with subject matter on Haiti/#Haiti) at a given instance in time using the Twitter API? I'm writing a script in Python that will monitor Twitter traffic over a long spell of time and I was wondering how I cou...
The Twitter API returns this value for the Twitter account 'image_url': http://a1.twimg.com/profile_images/75075164/twitter_bird_profile_bigger.png In my Twitter client webapp, I am considering hotlinking the HTTPS version of avatars which is hosted on Amazon S3 : https://s3.amazonaws.com/twitter_production/profile_images/75075164/twitt...
Considering the set of Twitter users "nodes" and the relation u follows v as the "edges", we have a graph from which I would like to select a subset of the users at random. I could be wrong, but from reading the API docs I think it's impossible to get a collection of users except by getting the followers or friends of an already-known us...
Hi Can anyone familiar with the Twitter Search API tell me what the earliest possible Search date in (YYYY-MM-DD) format is? Also, when using this date, is it necessary to omit any date limited query string parameters? And does the order of query string parameters matter? ...
Hi I'm confused about the differences in query string parameters if you use the advanced search page vs referencing the Twitter search operators page http://search.twitter.com/operators Are both of the following equivalent? http://search.twitter.com/search?q=&ands=&phrase=near+city http://search.twitter.com/search?q="%22"nea...
I redirect the user of my application to Twitter for oauth style authentication using my app's request_token. The user is able to enter username and password on Twitter's page BUT then, instead of calling back my application, Twitter displays a page You've successfully granted access to MyAppName! Simply return to MyAppName an...
Hello. I'm writing a script of OAuth in Python. For testing this, I use Twitter API. But it is not working well. def test(): params = { "oauth_consumer_key": TWITTER_OAUTH_CONSUMER_KEY, "oauth_nonce": "".join(random.choice(string.digits + string.letters) for i in xrange(7)), "oauth_signature_met...
Ok I looked around and couldn't find the answer to this. So the twitter API doesn't make available the date/time a follower became a follower. If I wanted to figure out the number of new followers per day I would some how have to get the previous days and compare the two. Any idea how to do that effectively (like save snap shot every day...
Are you allowed to locally store tweets obtained using the twitter api? http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-Search-API-Method%3A-search ...
When I built my first handful of Twitter applications, I wrote code to cache user icons locally. At the time, it just didn't seem like a good idea to assume that these icons would always be available at their original locations. These were relatively low-traffic sites though, and even though I was grabbing the user icons on login, it did...
I'm trying to make a simple site that uses php and the Twitter API to write out my latest post from twitter. I found a tutorial showing me how to get my timeline (or last 20 posts) in xml format, but can't figure out how to print out just the latest post, and just the text of it (not the time, date, etc that come with the xml/rss/etc). ...
