Error 403 while getFollowers : Twitter Iphone MGTwitterEngine

[Amit Battan Ror]

Hi All

I am using Twitter-OAuth-iPhone https://github.com/bengottlieb/Twitter-OAuth-iPhone
I am calling [twitterObj getFollowersIncludingCurrentStatus:NO] for
getting my friend list which was working fine. But from last two days
its giving me the 403 error.

-- Twitter Request FD751461-39C4-4EAB-A0F7-D1ED262B19EA failed with
error: Error Domain=HTTP Code=403 "The operation couldn’t be
completed. (HTTP error 403.)"

As twitter api wiki 403 is due to crossing the limit of updates and DM

but here in getFollowersIncludingCurrentStatus Why this error
occurring and even list is not comes next day giving same 403 error.



Thanks
Amit Battan

Amit,

I don't know your library, but in my case the 403 was accompanied by the
message "Not authorized to use this endpoint" and the solution was to
update to "http://api.twitter.com/1 [etc.]".

I am not getting the solution.

and my API was working fine beofre 2 3 days..

but not now..

all other API except getFollowersIncludingCurrentStatus working ok and
return proper output

[Bill Jacobson]

I'm suggesting that you find out what endpoint (Twitter URL) your app is
targeting, and make sure that it matches what is currently documented.
If it doesn't match, correct it. That's what worked for me.

Amit,

Your endpoint is obsolete and no longer supported by Twitter. That's why you got the 403. Statuses/followers will succeed if you change it to http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/followers.xml

BUT this API is deprecated. Read all about it here: http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/statuses/followers

Bill

[Amit Battan Ror]

thanks Bill

it is solved now
I change
#define TWITTER_DOMAIN @"twitter.com"
to
#define TWITTER_DOMAIN @"api.twitter.com/1"
in MGTwitterEngine.m

[Taylor Singletary]

If you want to retrieve all of a user's followers, you first get their ids by cursoring through http://api.twitter.com/1/followers/ids.json?cursor=-1 [1] -- after retrieving that data, you'll want to expand them for user ids into "hydrated" user objects. To do this, pass 50 to 80 (maximum 100, but I recommend lower maximums for best performance) of the ids at a time to the bulk users lookup [2] API method. For some users this may take only two API requests: one for the followers' ids, and another for the users/lookup.

[1] http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/followers/ids

[2] http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/users/lookup

Hai wpisod,

how can i get only a specific number(Suppose 20 IDs only) of IDS using the API (http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/followers/ids).

I tested this API using "count" parameter in API...but it is ignoring this parameter and returning nearly 5000 ID's At a time if the the user has followers more than 5000

Please guide me ASAP.

Thanks Bill.

statuses/followers and statuses/friends are deprecated. Is there a
timeline in twitter to announce when will the deprecated API be
closed? I wonder the deadline since our app is depending them .
Thanks!

Hi Echo,

We haven't announced an end of life date for these methods but we wanted to mark them as deprecated so help developers know they are not suitable anymore.

We recommend moving to the friends/ids, followers/ids and users/lookup pattern at your next opportunity though.

Thanks Matt.

You are right. Friends/ids and users/lookup can take the place of
statuses/friends. However, it will spend two API remaining number and
two response time.
Maybe implementing statuses/friends with friends/ids and users/lookup
in Twitter API side will be better?

Best regards,
Echo
