The Streams
Wednesday, September 8, 2010
TM
What is Streaming?‣ Push delivery of tweets, as opposed to the REST (pull) API
‣ Implemented as HTTP long poll, aka the web page that never ends
‣ JSON (preferred) or XML content
Wednesday, September 8, 2010
TM
Streaming “Products”‣ hoses - slices of the entire tweet corpus‣ firehose‣ filter‣ sample‣ users - focused on specific users’ content‣ user streams‣ site streams

Getting Started‣ cURL is your friend
‣ twurl is an even better friend
‣ Many libraries available
Wednesday, September 8, 2010
TM
User Streams‣ Goals
‣ Support single-user connections (e.g. desktop applications)
‣ Reduce dependency on polling
‣ Provide a true real time experience to users
Wednesday, September 8, 2010
TM
Data Delivered‣ All data is delivered as a JSON message on a single line
‣ First message - your friends
‣ Statuses
‣ Direct Messages
‣ Events
Wednesday, September 8, 2010
TM
‣ Events represent user activities that are not message delivery
‣ This includes
‣ favorites
‣ follows
‣ profile updates
What are Events?
Wednesday, September 8, 2010
TM
‣ event - indicates the type of event
‣ source - the user who initiated the action
‣ target - the user who owns the affected object.
‣ target_object (optional) - the affected object
‣ created_at - the time this happened
Event Schema

TM
Site Streams‣ Goals
‣ Like User Streams
‣ But for “services”, not desktop apps.
‣ Multiplex many users’ events onto a single connection
Wednesday, September 8, 2010
TM
Data Delivered‣ Just the same as user stream
‣ But every message is wrapped with a “for_user” tag, which gives the ID of the user to whom this message applies
Wednesday, September 8, 2010
TM
Keys to Success‣ Use OAuth
‣ Use JSON
‣ Process messages asynchronously
‣ Make sure you have adequate bandwidth
‣ Be prepared for additional message types
