minor improvements on the API

We’ve just released some minor improvements on the API. Firstly, two HTTP status codes have been included: 405 (Method Not Allowed) and 406 (Not Acceptable). The idea is to facilitate debugging, and to provide more detailed output.

Secondly, the API now expects an HTTP header called ‘Accept’, which is used to specify the media-type that is acceptable for the response. The find2follow API currently accepts JSON (‘application/json’), but new types might be included in the future.

That’s it. We’ll keep enhancing our API, so that you can develop your app on top of a reliable and robust platform. Check out the super-brief API specs.

hourly limit increased (a lot!)

So find2follow took off, and it’s been crazy. We’ve experienced some side effects from the recent user base growth, which is exactly the sort of headache we were looking for :)

find2follow used to be constrained by Twitter itself, so unfortunately some of you came across the following message: “We’ve reached our hourly limit given by Twitter”.

Therefore, we got in touch with the guys at Twitter, and the good news is that we’ve been whitelisted. It means that our current hourly limit has increased a lot. In fact, I’d say that constraints are gone!

If you were one of those who got that message, you may consider yourself lucky, because nobody will ever see that message again! :)

Thanks for trying find2follow out!

SWAT / team of pigs

  • Chicken: Hey, why don't we open a restaurant?
  • Pig: Good idea. What do you want to call it?
  • Chicken: Why don't we call it 'Ham and Eggs'?
  • Pig: I don't think so. I'd be committed, but you'd only be involved.
