New REST API endpoints for Mute functionality

andypiper · 2014-05-13T21:52:14.000Z

this is not a streaming API feature at this stage, REST API only.

Does an event fire in user or site streams when a mute is created or destroyed so that we can automatically add a mute without calling the REST API for updates?

not at present. We are looking at features around mutes and streams for a future revision.

I know it’s not a week but still nothing in friendships/show apigee snapshot of someone who is currently muted

I understand that this isn’t completely useful as a response, as obviously I do have mute available to my account at the moment… but here’s what I see:

twurl "/1.1/friendships/show.json?source_screen_name=artesea&target_screen_name=KirstieMAllsopp"

Response:

{
  "relationship": {
    "source": {
      "id": 5717352,
      "id_str": "5717352",
      "screen_name": "artesea",
      "following": true,
      "followed_by": false,
      "notifications_enabled": null,
      "can_dm": false,
      "blocking": null,
      "muting": null,
      "want_retweets": null,
      "all_replies": null,
      "marked_spam": null
    },
    "target": {
      "id": 33018114,
      "id_str": "33018114",
      "screen_name": "KirstieMAllsopp",
      "following": false,
      "followed_by": true
    }
  }
}

(obviously showing null instead of false/true here, because I’m not one of the users in the relationship). I also validated that it works for me with ids instead of screen_names.

We’ve done a small amount of work around the API this week so bear with us as we make it available to everyone, it may take a few days more.

Edited the original post to add information on error and response codes and GET friendships/lookup.

Update? Still not receiving the ‘muting’ value in the relationship JSON response.

Hi Dennis, very sorry for the delay. Can you confirm whether you are getting the right values in the response data now? we should be available to all at this point.

artesea · 2014-05-28T18:06:48.000Z

Finally getting them here, but wasn’t when @dennisl commented before.

andypiper · 2014-05-29T09:36:45.000Z

ok thanks for confirming, and apologies for the issue!

dennisl · 2014-05-31T23:32:00.000Z

Yes, it’s finally working now. Thank you!

IronyLLC · 2014-06-09T20:53:00.000Z

@andypiper still can’t view the pages.

andypiper · 2014-06-10T09:48:36.000Z

are you able to read them if you are logged out of dev.twitter.com? are you seeing a permission issue? This is really odd… will ask the site team again.

isodera · 2014-07-11T07:20:15.000Z

Hi! Why is the mute function not working the last couple of weeks? FYI I’m still seeing tweets from tweeps I’ve muted on my @connect page AFTER I’ve mute them/even after I’ve refreshed the page or log-out/re-logged in. HELP!! I don’t want to block too many tweeps, as I understand Twitter discourages that… Thanks for troubleshooting this problem for me! Cheers!

isodera · 2014-07-11T07:34:07.000Z

Hmm. Funny! Now it’s working! Thanks! Whatever you or @twittersupport did! Cheers!

jologz · 2014-08-12T22:28:59.000Z

is this still locked? I tried today and it still says access denied

andypiper · 2014-08-14T12:32:55.000Z

what do you mean locked? if you mean is this available in the streaming API yet, unfortunately not, however mute and unmute events will be visible in the stream per https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/30285

Stocks_Live · 2015-01-07T03:42:28.048Z

Is there a reason that the mute doesn’t affect search result? It makes sense to remove the tweets from both timeline and search result.
Thank,
