Twitter example broken

[Rainer Wittmann]

I've noticed that the twitter example at http://knockoutjs.com/examples/twitter.html is broken at the moment. It produces a 410 Gone network error message.

    {"errors": [{

        "message": "The Twitter REST API v1 is no longer active. Please migrate to API v1.1. https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/overview.",

        "code": 68}]}

Looks like the API 1.0 has retired since June, 11th. https://dev.twitter.com/calendar.

Are there plans to upgrade the example to support 1.1?

That will only happen if someone is prepared to create a twitter application and make its ConsumerKey and ConsumerSecret public, because twitter requires authentication on all endpoints according to this post: Authentication_required_on_all_endpoints

Thanks @Coilz! That's how I read it as well, so I rephrase the question slightly.

 Is somebody from the team that maintains the web site going through the trouble to communicate with twitter, so that they provide some kind of public account that can be used for this example?

If not  it should be probably either marked as outdated  or removed completely.

Hello-

I think that we are going to have to replace the example with something that accesses a public API.  Perhaps the StackOverflow or Github APIs.

Thanks-

Thanks for the heads up.
