@verius that url is the unique global identifier for the user (or alternatively a profile url that when running discovery, say using webfinger or microformats2, gives you the user info). It should be safe to cache it for a relatively long time as an identifier for a specific profile.
-
@andstatus The full mentioned id should never be trusted from HTML in the first place, that is metadata accompanied with the post. More specifically <link rel="mentioned" ... />
-
@mmn I don't see anything like <link rel="mentioned" ... /> in the JSON file from a server.
Maybe this is problem of the "Twitter compatible API" only?
BTW about two months ago we already started discussion on ActivityStreams protocol in JSON format. Let's make another step forward! :-)
My latest posts to you on that subject (unanswered) are below:
@mmn Thank you for encouragement.
Do you know any implementation of this API that I could lookup in order to move from a zero point?!
I need at least two pieces: authentication (client registration...) and making a request something like "statusnet/config"

@mmn AndStatus already supports ActivityStreams protocol in JSON format. Do you mean that I can switch to that protocol accessing GNU Social and forget about Twitter API problems? If yes, do you have any links with a list of API calls... ? Maybe any reference client implementation?!

@andstatus Yeah. The Twitter compatible API is compatible with Twitter's extremely limited, non-federating design and all its flaws.

@andstatus I thought I answered that you should use AS but few use it so if I accidenyally sneak in a bug then it'll take longer to discover it probably.

@mmn The problem is that I cannot start having nether API documentation nor reference implementation / examples. Anothet time:

@verius the rel="mentioned" are always URIs btw (as apart from perhaps bring URLs which aren't _the_ specific identifier).
