Has something with the twitter API changed? This link was returning results earlier today but for whatever reason it seems to have stopped?

Also, clicking on the links in the examples no longer work?

If you're coding in ASP.NET, I recommend the Twitterizer library. It's written and maintained by a fellow who helped me get my own Twitter .NET library off the ground when I was doing that sort of thing.

Yes. You've found out how the version 1 api has been deprecated / is in the process of being removed.

From now on, all your requests to the twitter API will be required to have authentication (OAuth), and for some this was a nightmare to figure out.

Fortunately, I wrote a lengthy post (with pictures) explaining how to set yourself up a twitter dev account / application, get a set of keys, and then I created a library to perform authenticated requests for you.

The only downside is that this library is written in , and from looking at your profile you use ASP.net - so try googling for a library for your specific language if you don't want to use PHP.

In any case, no more unauthenticated requests for you ;) You need to dig in with OAuth now!

  • it was working earlier. Also the V1 API isn't set to deprecate until 6/11/13. Also, I'm doing all of this in javascript currently. Haven't used any server side code yet. –  Jun 06 '13 at 14:02
  • @KyleRogers So knowing it'll cease to function in 5 days, don't ya think it's best to use something that'll last more than a week? :P – Jimbo Jun 06 '13 at 14:03
  • 100% yes, but it still isn't making me happy –  Jun 06 '13 at 14:04
  • I know, it's a nightmare. For asp.net MVC, try [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13515969/net-twitter-oauth-how-to-perform-a-successful-get-request), or google "ASP.net mvc twitter 1.1 api". Hopefully you'll find something specific to your language. – Jimbo Jun 06 '13 at 14:06
  • Also, there's a [bug right now](https://dev.twitter.com/issues/1072) that may be the issue. Regardless, I suggest migrating to 1.1 ASAP :) – Jimbo Jun 06 '13 at 14:08
