Modifying rate limits under serious load - Twitter API Announcem. Hi everyone, as you all know, Twitter has been faced with considerable capacity problems in recent weeks. we have many efforts under way to expand capacity and more efficiently use the capacity we have. starting today, we're going to begin adjusting rate limits dynamically under load in order to maintain an awesome experience for as many users as possible. today, we're experimenting with moving rate limits for all clients to varying amounts during periods of high load. you might see rate limits change from the default of 350 calls / hour. you may even see different values as we monitor the effect these changes have on overall Twitter performance. this means that it's more important than ever for client applications to monitor their rate limits through the HTTP headers and account/rate_limit_status and adjust your client's behavior accordingly. we're happy to help you achieve that, and please reach out to us if you need that help (either through this mailing list, or through @twitterapi).

On October 19th, Delicious announced that they began support of Yahoo IDs. Unfortunately, that blog post did not mention how this affects using the Delicious API. At the time of writing this, there is no mention at all in the Delicious API docs either. I am working on integrating Delicious within an existing application, so I decided to create a test account. That’s when I first ran into issues with the Yahoo integration because I was required to go through the ridiculous Yahoo registration process instead of the previous Delicious sign up. After trying a million different usernames and getting the initial CAPTCHA wrong, I had an account and my testing could begin.
My script was not successfully adding a bookmark, so I tested it directly in the browser and realized I couldn’t log in. I ran into a thread of people having the same issue, and then I stumbled across a Yahoo developer forum thread that clued me in on the comments that appeared in the blog post about the integration. Oauth - Project Hosting on Google Code. OAuth and Twitter. Earlier last month, Twitter released OAuth access to their site and to the API. Excited about the possibility of integrating some DigitalChalk functions with Twitter, I decided to take a couple of hours to play around with it and see what it offered.
There are lots of examples on the Twitter API site, but none of them are in Java. What? Really? For my implementation example I am using a Java OAuth library written by John Kristian, Praveen Alavilli and Dirk Balfanz.You must get your Consumer Key and Consumer Secret by registering your application on Twitter.com The goal is to get an Access Token and Secret that you can use to read and/or write to a Twitter users information without having to ask for their username and password everytime. Twitter will generate a Request Token and Token Secret and send them backSave the Request Token and Token Secret off for later use. Public String getAuthorizeUrl(String token, String callbackUrl, Map. High level AS3/Flex library for OAuth with Twitter. Recently I have played again with the Twitter API and finally have OAuth working.
When I have first played with the Twitter API I have used the example from Tour de Flex. The example loads up the friends list and uses the Twitter AS3 API. The API is not really my taste but offers the functionality to build a Twitter client application. However when you want to have your client application to show up as the source of tweets you have to use OAuth for user authentication.
After a bit of research a came across the awesome open source library oauth-as3. To use OAuth in your Twitter application you need a consumerKey and consumerSecret which you can get after the registration of your client app: or go to your settings and select the “Connections” tab for an overview and further links. So how does it work? I have build a high level AS3/Flex library for OAuth which is hosted on github.
Here a little semi pseudo code example: Links. OAuth Class for Flex. News about what I am developing and other random thoughts Having just completed a simple class to handle OAuth secure authorisation used by twitter.com and others, I thought I would upload it for others to use. Its quite simple to use (I have tried to make it as simple and straightforward as possible) and there is an example FlexBuilder project that shows how the class is used with twitter. Basic usage is split into two parts … 1) the actual request for authorisation: 2) future requests using saved authorisation tokens: I am currently working on integrating this into my twitter client, twitcher , but there are tricky user interface issues I need to decide upon before it can be completed.
Hopefully it won’t be too long and then twitcher will be one of the few (if not the only) twitter desktop app that supports oauth. Validating URL Links and Reusing Exceptions. LongURL | The Universal Way to Expand Shortened URLs. Mzsanford's twitter-text-java at master - GitHub. Overview (Twitter Text API) Link wrapping on the API - Twitter API Announcements | Google Gr.
Hi all. twitter has been wrapping links in e-mailed DMs for a couple months now. with that feature, we're trying to protect users against phishing and other malicious attacks. the way that we're doing this is that any URL that comes through in a DM gets currently wrapped with a twt.tl URL -- if the URL turns out to be malicious, Twitter can simply shut it down, and whoever follows that link will be presented with a page that warns them of potentially malicious content. in a few weeks, we're going to start slowly enabling this throughout the API for all statuses as well, but instead of twt.tl, we will be using t.co. our current plan is that no user will see a t.co URL on twitter.com but we still have some details to work through. the links will still be displayed as they were sent in, but the target of the link will be the t.co link instead. and, we want to provide the same ability to display original links to developers. we're going to use the entities attribute to make this possible.
Facebook’s Open Graph Protocol. David Recordon of Facebook has an interesting post titled Why f8 was good for the open web where he talks about how some of Facebook’s announcements at their recent F8 conference increase the openness of the Web. He calls out the following four items as the key benefits to the web as a whole from the F8 announcements No 24-hour caching limit An API that is realtime and isn’t just about content The Open Graph protocol OAuth 2.0 Of these, the third seems to me to be the most beneficial to the Web as a whole. The first, second and fourth items are really about benefits to Facebook developers. Although I guess you could argue that such a significant service adopting OAuth 2.0 is great for increasing adoption across the Web. However this pales in comparison to the fundamental shifts in thinking introduced by the Open Graph Protocol.
The first question is what problem does the Open Graph Protocol solve for Facebook and why are they releasing it? Figure 1: The Facebook Social Graph in 2006.

To implement Windows Live ID Delegated Authentication, you must register your Web site with Microsoft® as an application and receive a client ID for use with the service. Only a person who has a valid Windows Live ID can register an application and receive a client ID.
After you have registered your application, it can access information from other Windows Live ID services. You can sign in and change most of your application's registration settings at any time. The Windows Live application management site assists you with the registration process, issues your client ID to you, and provides a place where you can continue to manage all the applications you register. To get your client ID Go to the Windows Live application management site. To e complete the integration of your application with Windows Live, you must specify additional settings and publish your application. Whenever you want to retrieve or change your application data, return to the Windows Live application management site.
Windows Live ID Delegated Authentication SDK for Application Pro. Windows Live™ provides a wide variety of Web services and sites, but we recognize that it can't provide every Web service needed by every user. Many sites like yours—which we call application providers—want to help expand Windows Live by creating an even greater variety of Web services and sites. These application providers also want to take advantage of Windows Live ID authentication to prove to Windows Live services that a trusted relationship exists between the user and their sites. With Windows Live ID Delegated Authentication version 1.2, you can develop an application that acts on behalf of a Windows Live ID user to access Web services and sites that use Windows Live ID authentication. There are millions of registered Windows Live ID users, and you can create applications that offer them personalized access to their content on other Windows Live services and sites. It's easy to start using Delegated Authentication on your site.
