I have FeedAPI set to download my Twitter updates from the RSS feed. This was working fine until a few days ago.

Suddenly, the feed wasn't being updated although the log states it ran successfully. I checked Twitter out and the new items are being added to the Twitter feed.

I then tried to refresh the feed manually and the following message is returned: "There are no new items in the feed". Unfortunately, it hasn't updated with the latest feed items. It doesn't matter how often I refresh the feed or how many updates I make to my Twitter account, the same message keeps being returned.

Some of mine are working. Some aren't. Can't figure out difference between the two...

I'm going to change this to critical because this module is now useless to me as it doesn't perform it intended purpose.

Hey, I also use FeedAPI and twitter feeds together for my personal blog site :)
I'm sure that the twitter service does some restriction. Because it just started to happen a few days ago. I haven't altered FeedAPI's code.
Could you try it out with another RSS feed also?

denney: Twitter changed the policy, the feeds are password protected. FeedAPI should be able to handle password protected feeds. Please open another ticket if there are problems with handling password protected feeds.

Can someone say precisely how to do authenticated feeds with FeedAPI? A quick pointer would be great! Ad-thanks-vance.

Component: Code » Code (general)

A quick look at the code says that it uses php's parse_url() function - if you read that, it will show you how to create an authenticated feed.

Did anyone figure out how to get Twitter feeds working with FeedAPI? I seem to be having this same issue.
