In the Twitter API there is a status_lookup method that "hydrates" a tweet. The docs are unclear about what this means. So when do I need to hydrate a tweet?
If I have tweets from /statuses/user_timeline why would I need to hydrate them?
Please provide an example before and after of normal tweet and hydrated tweet and explain the difference.
From the docs:
"This method is especially useful to get the details (hydrate) a collection of Tweet IDs."
HYDRATE = get complete details (i.e. fields) of a tweet.
Many Twitter API calls that return tweets do not return all the fields. So, statuses/lookup may be used as a secondary call to get these fields.
For example, search/tweets may return tweets that have embedded video, but it will not return the URL of the embedded video. So, a second call to statuses/lookup is required to get the video.

Is there an endpoint in Slack API to detect a user (AKA me) is in a call? getPresence just returns 'active' and 'away' which is not helpful - I can be active but not in a call. I tried getting user status, that is of no help either
There's no API that will return that information at this time. The calls.info method would return a list of users in a specific call but you'd need to know the call id for that. Something as simple as knowing if any given user is on a call would be a great feature request for the users.getPresence method. Happy to pass that along!
How to retrieve videos from a playlist from a particular category? Is that even possible to do?
I did try this call :
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet%2CcontentDetails%2Cstatistics&maxResults=50&myRating=like&chart=mostPopular&videoCategoryId=10
But no luck
You may use the Search: list method which returns a collection of search results that match the query parameters specified in the API request.
By default, a search result set identifies matching video, channel, and playlist resources, but you can also configure queries to only retrieve a specific type of resource.
With a channel reporting job, we can get the end_screen_element_ids for a given video. These IDs look like GUIDs.
The question is : How do we query the Youtube API to get what video/channel/... these end_screen_element_ids points to ?
Thanks!
You may use the reportTypes.list method. This returns a list of report types that the channel or content owner can retrieve. Each item in the list contains an id property, which identifies the report's ID, and you need this value to schedule a reporting job.
Can someone tell whether my understanding is correct.
twitterstream.addlistener(listner)
is for each tweet we are capturing?
Dataobjectfactory.getRawjson(status)
converts object into json string?
First of all, twitterstream.addlistener(listner) is for generating a listener in twitterstream to listen all tweets which hit your conditions. So, that means you do not have to add more than one listener to get all the tweets. However, you might add more than one listener for different purposes like getting tweets only having a particular hashtag with each listener, etc..
The second thing you asked (Dataobjectfactory.getRawjson(status)) is returning the json formatted string of the caught tweet status.
I am using Twitterizer 2. in general it does the job very well, but I have one thing missing.
I need to get all the followers of my user. and the method brings Twitterizer.TwitterFriendship.Followers(Token) only brings 100 of them.
in the twitter API I saw that you can use a cursor for "paging" you request, but I couldn't find this functionality in twitterizer.
Any Idea anyone?
The TwitterUserCollection class (that is returned by the Followers method) have NextPage() and PreviousPage() methods that will perform the paging for you.
For example, to get all of your followers, you can perform this:
TwitterUserCollection myFollowers = TwitterFriendship.Followers(token);
while (myFollowers != null)
{
// Do something with the users here
// Get the next page
myFollowers = myFollowers.NextPage();
}
