so I don't know what's happening, but I'm using both Abraham Williams and Math Harris' libraries, both updated to reflect the new 1.1 rest API. Everything was working fine until a couple of days ago, when twitter started to give strange error messages I have never seen before, such as NULL or 0. When I try to connect with twitter to authorize again my own app, after an the eternity it gets to connect, all I get is "NULL Could not connect to Twitter. Refresh the page or try again later.". Is this happening to me only? I have seen that the API has had issues these days, but not today they say. I don't know what the problem can be. Twitter starts to be embarassingly difficult to manage, for one who is not a professional developer at least.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions to resolve this.
EDIT: I have tried a good number of libraries now and what was working until a week ago isn't working now. Neither twitteroauth nor thmOauth work anymore and I'd pay to know the reason. The black-out has been going on for a week now and my users might have started to realize. The Twitter support, contacted, says that everything is fine on their side. I have tried everything I think, to no avail.
well in the end I figured out. Just a matter of shared IP blacklisted. Thanks for your suggestion, which might have worked.
I had the same problem with the twitter api in ASP code. The problem was that the 'user-agent' header had to be sent with the request. If you leave it out it will give strange results. See the ASP question
So make sure your request to the api includes the user-agent header, doesnt matter what the value is.
