My bad on this. I didn't setup a callback URL in the Twitter app setup page at first. Once I did that, I'm good to go.

New Post: query not required?

That means Search is working for you as documented. Query is required. There is no other way.

Hi,

Twitter doesn't have a waiting period - your credentials should work right away. Maybe you can update LINQ to Twitter to the newest version.

You can use Fiddler to see what Twitter is returning as a reason, which might provide some ideas.

I've followed the example code and have tried downloading Win8OAuthDemo. I've updated to use my key and secret, but no matter what I always get a 401 response. The settings on my Twitter app are read, write & DM and the keys/secret are correct. I've looked at the big checklist of possible 401 errors, but none seem to apply.

This occurs immediately on:
await auth.AuthorizeAsync();

Is there a way to examine the response from the 401? I'm catching the System.Net.WebException, but ex.Response.ReadReponse() seems to return 158 bytes of nonsense (non human readable).

Is there some sort of Twitter waiting period? I just created the dev account and app today.

What I was trying to acheive is only provide coordinates and radius and get all tweets within that area. Is there another way to do it?
I tried an empty query=="" but that showed an error.

New Post: Can I retive tweets from my timeline for a specific day?

JoeMayo — Wed, 22 May 2013 01:09:24 GMT

Hi,

You can page through results until you get back to the time zone you want. I wrote a blog post, Working with Timelines with LINQ to Twitter, to describe how. As you page through results, inspect the CreatedAt property on tweets to see their date.

If this is something you do regularly, it might be helpful to have a table of Dates and a Tweet ID on that date, to set a starting point for the SinceID, which will reduce the number of queries you need and preserve rate limit. Just an idea though - you might think of other optimization strategies based on your usage patterns.

Using L2T is it possible to get the tweets from my timeline for a specific day? Say i missed seeing what was happening on May 17 - can go i back and pull those tweets for May 17th?

Hi,

The Twitter API docs say it's required too:

https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/search/tweets

I think the trade-off is that you might occasionally see different behavior, but if Twitter changes it to conform with the docs, your code might break. Earlier, I had supported undocumented behavior with LINQ to Twitter and it's almost always bitten me down the line.

New Post: Unable to use Count Property on Searches

JoeMayo — Tue, 21 May 2013 20:37:41 GMT

Hi,

Not a problem - glad you got it working. I've upgraded from Twitter API 1.0 to Twitter 1.1 over the last several months and a few things have changed. Hopefully for the better and I'm still chasing down an occasional loose end.

Hi,
When I was reading your documentation.... I saw that the query parameter is required when searching. I was able to search without specifiyng a query when I wanted to search with coordinates. Do you think that I'm violating rules or not getting the results I was looking for (which are tweets for a certain location)?

My mistake - I was using an older version of the library.

Apologies.

New Post: Unable to use Count Property on Searches

Neilski — Tue, 21 May 2013 07:39:07 GMT

I've just started to use the library, but when I create the Search object, it doesn't seem to present a 'Count' property. For example, if I want to get the three latest tweets:

     using (var twitterCtx = new TwitterContext(auth))
     {
        var query = twitterCtx.Search
           .Where(s => (
              (s.Type == SearchType.Search) &&
              (s.Query == "SEARCHSTRING") &&
              (s.Count == 3)   // Count property not available and will not compile
           ))
           .SingleOrDefault();

        return query.Results;
     }

Can anyone tell me what I am missing/doing wrong?

Thanks.

For example, if I want to get the three latest tweets: var srch = ( from search in twitterCtx.Search where search.Type == SearchType.Search && search.Query == "LINQ to Twitter" && search.Count == 7 // Property not available and will not compile select search ).SingleOrDefault(); What am I missing/doing wrong? Thanks.

Is it possible to make this go beyond the last 6 – 9 days of messages posted on twitter? I need to search for messages in 2010 and the API only goes back about a week.

Hi,

The difference is that ListID is an input and ListIDResult is an output. Input means that it's a parameter used as part of a query. Output means that this is what Twitter returns. You'll see this pattern used in other places where the input and output have the same name. It covers the situation where you might not have specified a ListID in the query, so it would be null, but I don't overwrite your value when Twitter sends a ListID back.

New Post: ListID Vs ListIDResult

webminer — Fri, 17 May 2013 07:13:17 GMT

Can you please clarify whats the difference between ListID and ListIDResult. The query is as follows:

           var lists = from list in twitterCtx.List
                          where list.Type == ListType.Ownerships && list.ScreenName == Screen_Name
                          select list;

            foreach (var list in lists)
            {
                DataRow Dr = DT_Lists.NewRow();
                Dr["List_ID"] = list.ListIDResult;
                Dr["ID"]= list..ListID;
                Dr["Name"] = list.FullName;
                Dr["Description"] = list.Description;
                Dr["Created_At"] = list.CreatedAt;
                Dr["URL"] = list.Uri;
                Dr["Members_Count"] = list.MemberCount;
                Dr["Subscribers_Count"] = list.SubscriberCount;
                DT_Lists.Rows.Add(Dr);
            }

There is one problem that I know about with Web Forms where you must explicitly log out of Twitter before you can authorize. Once I do that, then WebForms works fine. I ran it in VS 2010 without a problem too. This doesn't happen in MVC and I haven't figured out why.

You might also consider cleaning out Temporary ASP.NET Files to make sure any old DLLs aren't affecting you.

BeginAuthorization is not working. Twitter is replying 401 Unauthorized. This has started happeneing after I upgraded to LINQTOTwitter 2.1.05 for Twitter API v1.1 . Initially the same code was working fine. I even tried multiple different consumer key and secret keys. Everytime it returns 401 error code.
