Hey,
I've been experimenting with the streaming API for the past couple of days. While playing with different methods, I've discovered an interesting phenomenon -
When I make a request to [link] - I get a 200 status code and everything works as expected.

Custom Tweet button behaviour: can I capture the click?

sm...@davethehappysinger.com (Dave The Happy Singer) — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 02:27:30 UT

Hi all,
I am developing a web application that will use the 'Sign on with Twitter'
pattern. It will also feature Tweet buttons for sharing content.
In the case of signed-on users, I already have their authentication details
and authorisation to Tweet on their behalf. Therefore I can build a Tweeting

I have problem with parsing some direct messages. As described here:

Finding the unique URL or Status ID of a retweet.

zanem...@gmail.com (zane) — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 07:18:54 UT

I am in a position where I have the URL to a number of tweets and the
twitter name of the users who retweeted them. The problem is that I do
not have the unique Status ID of the retweet, which I would like to
get.

Is there any way to get the unique Status ID for the retweet using
this information.

I'm using the users/lookup.json API and passing a valid list of

I keep getting the response: "No user matches for specified terms"
when making the call, even though the list is valid and I have

Hai Solyda,
You must raise a ticket in twitter site to get the permission to use X-Auth
For your application.
u should write about your application when u are raising a ticket. Then
Twitter team will give u the permission to access X-Auth.
X-Auth allows u to skip the step of Weblogin Authentication/PINCode

Hi all,

I have used the API developed by Matt Gemmell for Twitter Integration
in iOS. I'm stuck when coming Authentication/Authorization. In the
API, it states the following:

// XAuth login - NOTE: You MUST email Twitter with your application's
OAuth key/secret to
// get OAuth access. This will not work if you don't do this.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: why are there tweets longer that 140 characters?

taylorsinglet...@twitter.com (Taylor Singletary) — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 14:22:23 UT

If you're never going to show a tweet in a HTML context, it would be safe to
unescape the entitized characters. Tweets are often fed directly from an API
call to an HTML context, which is why we protect against malicious HTML by
escaping certain tags. Storing as received is likely the best bet.
