Hello, we are using Net::Twitter for some basic search functionality to retrieve tweets into a comment timeline. Our environment is RHEL5/Perl 5.8.8 and we were hoping to create an rpm from the tarball but it's failing with a segmentation fault. (due to its developer status?)

Given that Twitter's cut-off date for v1.0 of the API is March 5th, we were wondering when you expect the stable version to be released and whether an rpm build would be feasible from that version?

Thanks.

First of all, thank you very much for maintaining this module and keeping it updated! Any plans to add proxy support to Net::Twitter module? Thank's again!

https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/24239

Since api.twitter.com is now restricted to SSL/TLS traffic, this should be reflected in Net::Twitter.

i.e.

Net::Twiter->new;

should be the same as

Net::Twitter->new( ssl => 1 );

Otherwise the reponse will be 403 forbidden.

According to the spec (https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/post/statuses/update), the media_ids parameter of the update() call should take a list of media ID strings as its value.

In current Net::Twitter, if you wish only to attach a single piece of media to a new tweet, then you can set media_ids to that media's value as a string, and it works fine. However, if you try to set media_ids to an ArrayRef of any nonzero length (including one), Net::Twitter seems to interpret this as an attempt to refer to a file on-disk, and therefore usually dies with a no-such-file error.

unretweet method as following don't exist in Net::Twitter::Role::API::RESTv1_1.
https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/v1/tweets/post-and-engage/api-reference/post-statuses-unretweet-id

Some users have requested a RateLimit trait compatible with API v1.1.

Would you be open to using JSON::MaybeXS rather than JSON? It appears to be much less buggy and also uses Cpanel::JSON::XS under the hood where possible.

I'm happy to send a pull request.

I came across this because I came across a puzzling error in Net::Twitter::Core::_parse_result() where the JSON parsing was throwing an error. This error goes away with Cpanel::JSON::XS. Since there's no catch block to warn or die it took me a while to track down.

[truncated stack trace]

It would be super handy if the API methods, like add_place, could link to their actual backend docs, like POST geo/place, most especially because most of the docs in Net::Twitter (and ::Lite) do not document their arguments or return values (what they do or what their type is or whatever.)

Since 23/04 Twitter have problems with some of our programs that search via Net::Twitter.

The problem seems related with issues in Twitter (API Status page https://dev.twitter.com/status)

After investigating we ends with the call to $netTwitter->search never ends and the process start consuming 90-100% CPU.

We though that the problem is that Net::Twitter is performing the search via LWP, we have some experience with LWP and we know that LWP is not managing good timeouts, with some calls that never ends. Looking the code of the component I does not find any control of wrong behaviour of LWP and I think it could be interesting.

We resolve the problem setting a alarm signal to 5s before the function and everything starts to works good.

See: zigdon/twirssi#65. If I'm not mistaken this was an optional dependency when I was using Module::Install. Must have lost it in the switch to Dist::Zilla.

Hi,
I'm getting this error
Code:Modification of a read-only value attempted at Net/Twitter/Core.pm line 233.
when I use decode_html_entities

I've tried using it as:

Net::Twitter->new(
		traits          => [qw/API::RESTv1_1 OAuth/],
		consumer_key    => core::Config->get('twitter')->{consumer_key},
		consumer_secret => core::Config->get('twitter')->{consumer_secret},
		ssl             => 1
	);

And:

$result = $self->api->_decode_html_entities($result)

In both cases the same error appears.

I'm using Net::Twitter version 4.01008 and Perl 5.14.2. I've checked the last version of lib and the code from decode_html_entities seems the same to me.

I'm not used with Moo itself and it's grammar but I wonder if the assignment of $_ to another value it's correct or not.

Thanks in advance.

Searching with multi-byte characters like chinese - 迪奥 - fails.
Sending a message containing these characters works well...

It works fine with the default user agent, and some methods still work with this one. Status for instance works fine

If you pass a non-existent user_id to lookup_users, e.g. $twitter->lookup_users({user_id => '123456'}), and there is no valid ID in the request, Net::Twitter will throw a 404 on STDERR and act as if the user did something wrong.

The Twitter API consistently sends a 404 with a 'page not found' message when there's no valid users. This should, in this special case, be catched and processed, returning an empty array, undef or similar, so that scripts relying on probing for info don't have to play catch().

When sending a DM the following response is received (The DM is sent successfully):

user argument to new_direct_message deprecated; use screen_name or user_id at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/Net/Twitter/Role/API/RESTv1_1.pm line 385.

This is via the following line of code:
$nt->new_direct_message( 'target_user', 'This is a test text');

It might be nice if the documentation gave an example of using the screen_name param. I.e.

$nt->new_direct_message( 'This is a test text', { screen_name => 'target_user' } )

Below is the module details i ahve:

M/MM/MMIMS/Net-Twitter-4.01002.tar.gz
/usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/Net/Twitter.pm
Installed: 4.00006
CPAN: 4.01002 Not up to date

[email protected]

In the status text field, the character '&' (ampersand) appears as '&' (XML character entity).

After update to 4.00006 (from 3.18) and begin using API::RESTv1_1 the method show_user does not work - the software dies with -
"Sorry, that page does not exist at /usr/lib/perl5/Class/MOP/Method/Wrapped.pm line 162"

twit.pl is my program. But sometimes Net::Twitter sometimes exists with this error message and just quits. No idea why I'm getting the message as I check the length of all my tweets to make sure they are less than 160 ctrs before they are sent. And I can't debug into Net::Twitter to figure out the error. (If someone knows how to do this please let me know.) Besides I don't know when I'm going to get the error anyway because of the vague error msg.

Can you

• Print a newline after every error message?
• Give more details on why this error happens?
• Put the exact path and filename this error is when it's printed? So if the error is in Net/Twitter.pm the error should read "/usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2/Net/Twitter.pm: Status is over 140 characters..."

twitter changed trend api and now the Net::Twitter->trends feature no longer works. returns "This endpoint is deprecated and should no longer be used"

I have code that I want to use all the time that uses Net::Twitter, but it has been giving me the above error on my Linux box. I adapted the code from the POD:

use feature qw{ state say } ;
use strict ;
use warnings ;
use utf8 ;
use Data::Dumper ;
use Net::Twitter ;
use Scalar::Util 'blessed' ;
my $nt = Net::Twitter->new(
    traits              => [ qw/API::RESTv1_1/ ],
    consumer_key        => 'No' ,
    consumer_secret     => 'No' ,
    access_token        => 'No' ,
    access_token_secret => 'Trust me, I put real values in' ,
    ssl                 => 1
    ) ;
my $result = $nt->update( 'Hello, world! ' . time ) ;
say Dumper $result ; 
exit ;

When I run it on another machine, I get successful tweets. When I run it on the machine I'm behind 8 hours a day, I get:

jacoby@oz:$ dev/t_test.pl
500 Can't connect to api.twitter.com:443 at dev/t_test.pl line 22jacoby@oz:$

Where line 22 is the one with $nt->update() in it.

It keeps happening to me. I installed perlbrew to get around it, and it worked for a while, then didn't. The error doesn't give me enough information to figure it out myself. Help?

lib/Net/Twitter.pod file does not contain any code. It's a plain POD. However, the first line is a shell bang:

#!/usr/bin/env perl

=head1 NAME

I recommend remove the useless shellbang line.

1. load_class and is_class_loaded are deprecated https://metacpan.org/pod/release/ETHER/Moose-2.1102-TRIAL/lib/Moose/Manual/Delta.pod#The-Class::Load-wrapper-functions-in-Class::MOP-have-been-deprecated
2. Presently, MooseX::Aliases is broken on Moose-2.11000 ( doy/moosex-aliases#5 ), so users who use Net::Twitter on >=Moose-2.1100 will need a newer version of that.

I have been assigned this module in the CPAN pull request challenge. Can I help with something?

Yes, I am aware of a previous thread on this.. but upgrading cpanm is not working. I am getting this message on any of the 4.x versions.

Saw this bug from 5.24.1 and thought I'd share.

twitter now blocks the default settings for the module WithAPIv1_1 version 0.12005

specifically, for $Net::Twitter::Lite::WithAPIv1_1::VERSION = '0.12005'

the following need to default to https rather than http ...

sub _default_api_url               () { 'http://api.twitter.com/1.1'    }
sub _default_searchapiurl          () { 'http://search.twitter.com'     }
sub _default_search_trends_api_url () { 'http://api.twitter.com/1.1'    }
sub _default_lists_api_url         () { 'http://api.twitter.com/1.1'    }

The current implementation don't have support for this feature now, it will be useful for some kind of applications.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I tried using your example from https://metacpan.org/pod/Net::Twitter::Role::OAuth but the code dies on the get_authorization_url line:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use Net::Twitter;

my $nt = Net::Twitter->new(
    traits          => ['API::RESTv1_1', 'OAuth'],
    consumer_key    => "YOUR-CONSUMER-KEY",
    consumer_secret => "YOUR-CONSUMER-SECRET",
);

# You'll save the token and secret in cookie, config file or session database
my($access_token, $access_token_secret) = restore_tokens();
if ($access_token && $access_token_secret) {
    $nt->access_token($access_token);
    $nt->access_token_secret($access_token_secret);
}

unless ( $nt->authorized ) {
    # The client is not yet authorized: Do it now
    print "Authorize this app at ", $nt->get_authorization_url, " and enter the PIN#\n";

    my $pin = <STDIN>; # wait for input
    chomp $pin;

    my($access_token, $access_token_secret, $user_id, $screen_name) = $nt->request_access_token(verifier => $pin);
    save_tokens($access_token, $access_token_secret); # if necessary
}

sub restore_tokens {
}

sub save_tokens {
    warn join "\n", @_, '';
}

Running this give:

Net::Twitter::Role::OAuth::get_authorization_url(): GET https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token failed: 401 Authorization Required at ./tw.pl line 20

Seems to be a recursive error (need to be authorized to get authorized). I did try with my apps keys just so you know.

I have Perl 5.16.0 installed with perlbrew, and cpanminus v1.5014.

Mac OS X 10.7.5, MacBook Air if that's useful. I'm sure it's an easy thing, but you might be able to fix it faster than I.

When trying to send a DM via new_direct_message I get the error Sorry, that page does not exist.. According to the twitter docs the API path is now direct_messages/events/new instead of direct_messages/new as stated in the Net::Twitter docs, so I assume the API changed and the module isn't compatible anymore.

A process that use Net::Twitter in some scenarios (we setup and alarm to avoid petition last too much) return this error:

panic: attempt to copy freed scalar 3c10e20 to 5895f88 at /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2/Devel/StackTrace.pm

Looking for seens something related with implementation in Devel::StackTrace

I'm not sure if some workaround could be done in the Net::Twitter::Error component.

Hi,

When attempting to get a specific status using:

my $twitterHandle = getTwitterHandle();
my $desiredListId = 4564564;
my $desiredStatuses = $twitterHandle->list_statuses($desiredListId);
exit;

I receive the following error:

Net::Twitter::Role::API::RESTv1_1::list_statuses(): list_statuses expected 0 args at twitterTest.pl line 119

Removing the argument then returns:

You must specify either a list ID or a slug and owner at twitterTest.pl line 119

Checking the documentation (which is at http://search.cpan.org/~mmims/Net-Twitter-4.00005/lib/Net/Twitter/Role/API/RESTv1_1.pm and looks like it is being formatted improperly) I see that this should accept either.

I have never contributed to an OSS or CPAN project before, but if there is any way I can assist with this and attempt to fix the bug, I'd be glad to help.

My smoker machines report a new failure:

#   Failed test 'relationship_exists scalar args'

It seems that the problem is caused by JSON-XS-3.02.

The latest Moose now contains more checks for overwriting internal methods, and now Net::Twitter warns...

(newlines added for readability)

perl -MNet::Twitter -wle'print Net::Twitter->new(traits => ["API::RESTv1_1", "OAuth"], consumer_key => 123, consumer_secret => 456, ssl => 1)'
You are overwriting a accessor (request_token_url) for the request_token_url attribute

);

Any plans to support twitter's API version 1.1?

Too small for me to fork and make a pull request.
