Tweetsharp issue while getting the UserProfile and TimeLine

Question

We are using TweetSharp(TweetSharp version = 2.3.1 and Newtonsoft.Json version = 5.0.6) API to show the Tweets of the Users in our web application. Below is the code that we are using in our asp.net mvc (C#) application:

var service = new TwitterService("ConsumerKey", "ConsumerKeySecret");
service.AuthenticateWith("TwitterToken", "TwitterTokenSecret");
TweetSharp.TwitterUser tuSelf = service.GetUserProfile(new GetUserProfileOptions() { IncludeEntities = false, SkipStatus = false });
if (tuSelf != null)
{
//Get the User Details
}
var tweets = service.ListTweetsOnUserTimeline(new ListTweetsOnUserTimelineOptions { Count = 5 });

We are getting the Following exception while getting the UserProfile:

System.OverflowException: Value was either too large or too small for an Int32.

And the below exception while getting the Timeline Tweets:

Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException: Cannot deserialize the current JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) into type 'TweetSharp.TwitterStatus' because the type requires a JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) to deserialize correctly. To fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) or change the deserialized type to an array or a type that implements a collection interface (e.g. ICollection, IList) like List<T> that can be deserialized from a JSON array. JsonArrayAttribute can also be added to the type to force it to deserialize from a JSON array. Path '', line 1, position 1.

Its not happening for all the Twitter Users. It happens only for few Users who has more tweets. Please suggest how to handle this?

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure this is to do with the new user id length Twitter is using for new accounts.

I had the same error whenever working with a new twitter account. It also occurs when looking at older accounts if they have tweets or mentions from new accounts.

Tweetsharp is using integers for the user_id in a few places which is throwing the exceptions.

This section had a link to fetch an updated version, but that github has now been removed.

Answer 2

Twitter has changed their id from Int32 to Int64 and TweetSharp has not updated to handle this.

To fix:

1. In the packages.config file delete the reference to TweetSharp.
2. Open the Package Manager Console
3. PM> Install-Package TweetSharp-Unofficial

And boom. That should do it.

Answer 3

I have this issue , I just Update JSON.Net package and its fixed.

Go to Solution Exp -> References right click -> Manage Nuget pack -> Check Updates and update Json.net pack.
