Twitux and API Services

[fitlad]

I'm currently working on updating the source code of the twitux app
for linux to make it work with supertweet.net. I managed to change
most of the original twitter.com API services except two;

#define TWITUX_API_REPLIES "https://twitter.com/statuses/replies.xml"
#define TWITUX_API_LOGIN "https://twitter.com/account/
verify_credentials.xml"

I already checked supertweet.net/api but I could not find the
equivalent api services to those mentioned above. I would appreciate
everyone help and support.

Regards,

Try these:

#define TWITUX_API_REPLIES "http://api.supertweet.net/1/statuses/
replies.xml"
#define TWITUX_API_LOGIN "http://api.supertweet.net/1/account/
verify_credentials.xml"

Thanks Mr. Blog,

One last check, are the following api services similar?

#define TWITUX_API_FOLLOWING_ADD "https://twitter.com/friendships/create/%s.xml"
"http://api.supertweet.net/1/friendships/create/{id}.xml"

#define TWITUX_API_FOLLOWING_DEL "https://twitter.com/friendships/destroy/%s.xml"
"http://api.supertweet.net/1/friendships/destroy/{id}.xml"

Fitlad

Should be.

Bear in mind that twitter deprecated the API urls without the leading
version number (and also using hostname twitter.com instead of
api.twitter.com), so you need to check their docs for the current API
urls and just swap the hostname to api.supertweet.net instead of
api.twitter.com

I suggest changing the code so that in the future it will be easy to change the URL parts quickly in one place, especially the host, because this could change again. Even better is making that a run-time config, through environment variables or a config file etc. It would make it easy to allow users to use the stand-alone local proxy, http://www.supertweet.net/about/localproxy which we suggest instead of the supertweet.net service.

You should really consider updating the code to use oAuth directly.

To your specific question, please see the current twitter API (twitter docs) and see what URL appears to give you want you want and if that is not working on the supertweet.net API, let us know. Supertweet.net is not trying to emulate some version of the twitter API from two years ago, but is simply a proxy to the current twitter API with whatever bugs and limitations the current twitter api holds.

What does "not working" mean? Please provide a capture of the full http request sent by your code to supertweet.net and the full response returned by the supertweet.net API including all headers (password scrubbed)

@mrblog,
thanks for your quick respond and wise suggestion. I managed to find the proper api url to view direct messages to use with my linux app twitux. After that I removed my post. Apologies for the inconvenience that I caused. The reason why I'm updating the source code urls to use supertweet.net rather than changing the code to use OAuth because I'm not a developer; I was trying to make my favourite twitter app works with minimal effort. I can confirm now after 48 hours of testing that all twitux options and features work now very smoothly with supertweet.net. Thanks for your great support.

Regards,

Fitlad
