its great, hovewer google map component crashes the Rhino itself...

Rhino 4 sr9 

Mosquito Update! 0.2.1

GoogleMaps: Now works for all user profiles

My apologies , I forget that most people install their plugins via the components folder accessed through Grasshopper itself. So I have changed the directory this components looks for i.e.

C:\Users\%YOURNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Grasshopper\Libraries

If it is crashing rhino check the following:

1. You need to have the "sonicmaps" folder in your components directory, it holds the tiles.

2. You must not leave the "Reload" input on "True". Only use "True" when you want to load a new map, then change it back to "False".

Let , me know if you have any trouble.

Thanks to Philipp for pointing out this issue.

Hello! thanks for this amazing tool! I been working with this plugin a few days and today I have this problem, I don´t know what this mean,  I hope you can help me with my problem. Thanks for everything! Regards!

Yoshi: You need to put all the files from the download into your components folder, including "Newtonsoft.Json.dll"

Does that help?

Carson, is it possible to search only one group on facebook with your component? 

Hi Philipp,

I'll see if I can get it to do that:)

Could you provide the Group name so I can test something?

Thanks

SENSEable for example

UPDATE 0.2.4:

Bug Fixes: Fixed bugs with Twitter API access and new functions in String Duplicate component.

UPDATE 0.2.5:

Flickr: Search twitter database for photos based on location and tag/title.

ImageDownload: Download images from Flickr or Twitter plugins.

ImageMaterial: Map a image onto a nurb surface.

Hi Carson,

I was trying to fire up your Twitter Component. It worked for about 10 min and now I am getting this error:

1. Solution exception:The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.

Any idea what might be causing it?

 konrad k sobon: Could you post your GH file, I will look into it right away.

Twitter_request_01.gh

Thank you!

konrad k sobon: I opened the file and everything works fine when searching for "arch_laboratory". Twitter does limit the number of calls an IP_Address can make per hour, so if you are using a school network and sharing an IP and someone else is making hundreds of calls, then you will be banned for an hour.

I believe the hourly limit is 350.....

"Rate limits for unauthenticated requests are applied to the IP that we see."

Carson,

You are 100% right. I am not using a school network, but i put a Timer component on it and set it to 1ms which means that i timed out of possible connections in less than half a second. :-) My bad. I will try again and make sure that I set my timer to around 11 seconds to prevent it from reaching the hourly limit. Thank you for reminding me of that. I knew there was a limit, but forgot about it.

Konrad

No problem :) I forget things like that all the time, hope you find the plugin useful.

Carson

It already is. You probably noticed what I am going to do with it. I will use it to look for certain tweets that will become triggers. I was looking at using a Pachube Feed and control it from there, but this is much faster. Also, did you ever think about adding a possibility of reading Direct Messages? I am thinking that if i start sending some random tweets from my main account to control Grasshopper it will annoy my followers. I dont know if i want to create another Twitter account just for that purpose, but that might be a must.

Thanks for help!

Thats a nice idea, so by "Direct Messages" you mean that it would be a separate messaging database from Twitter? Or that it has its own twitter account?

Separate database and it becomes another output on the Twitter component. That would be a good addition to your plug-in.

I'm really excited to try out some ideas with your plug-in, but I have no idea why I can't get it to work... I have checked to see if the Newtonsoft.Json.dll file is in the components folder and it is.  I have checked my Windows firewall and allowed Rhino 5 to access the internet... But I'm still having problems.  When I opening any of the example files they are red and give me a "Could not load file or assembly" error

I am running Rhino 5 SR3 (I tried it on SR2 before I upgraded and same thing).. Grasshopper 9.0014.. Windows 7 64-bit.... all on Bootcamp on a new MacBook Pro

Any ideas????

Let me re-states that I can't get the Media components to work... :)

I'm getting an error saying this "Solution exception:Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=4.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified." I have the Newtonsoft.Json.dll in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Grasshopper\Libraries, but it will not work. Any help would be much appreciated.

How to fix : "Solution exception:Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=4.5.0.0,

Drop the Newtonsoft.Json.dll into the Rhino 5 directory where you will find Rhino.exe...... this should fix the problem:) Let me know if it does not.

Works perfectly, thanks! 

UPDATE 0.3.0:

FaceBook plugin Working again!: The plugins have been reprogrammed so to work with the new Facebook OAuth API.

NEW Record Media plugin: Allows you to record social media information from the media components over time without duplicates. Might be complex for some to use at first. Check to example files included and it should be self explanatory, else send me a msg and i will try to help 

I'm getting a message that says "the remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden". Any ideas on how that could be resolved? Was originally getting the message "Solution exception:Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=4.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed". And followed the steps for that, but ended up with this other error.

Which Plugin is giving you the forbidden error?

Its anyone of them so the "facebook, twitter, etc.." And the script is from the example files.

Has the Topsy tool been removed from version 0.3.0? It doesn't seen to be in the download.

Hey Scott, yes Topsy has been removed due to them making there API a paid service.

Sorry :(

Hey Carson-

I'm getting the same "forbidden" error Jacob was getting as well.  I'm not getting it for FB, but I am getting it for Twitter.  I'm also getting a "unauthorized" error on the Twitter User Search.  Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Alex

Hi Alex,

I am getting the same error today.....aaaarrrh, twitter, they love to change their API every now and then which breaks the GH plugin. I will need to recompile the plugin sometime this week.

Sorry :(

I will let you know once its done.

TWITTER plugin is DOWN for the time being , working on a fix

Dear Alex, apparently the application key was suspended by Twitter, I have contacted them, and I am awaiting a response.

Hopefully the issue will be resolved shortly.

Alex, Twitter Plugin is now re-authorized in Mosquito, give it a go :)

dear all, I have a problem with mosquito. I have used it last week and everything was perfect, nevertheless today every app give me an error report.. about  'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=4.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' 

do anyone know how to fix it?

thank you

Hmm, strange, did you install a new version of GH? or Rhino? recently?

I have installed CADtoEarth.Rhino. Now I have uninstalled it and Mosquito works again! thank you!! that's and incredible tool!

Giacomo: Interesting , I have not come across that issue yet, thanks for sharing your solution :)

All right, my problem is solved.

Thanks

Hi Guys, 

I have been really struggling with Mosquito. I am currently living in London and the Twitter tool just doesn't seem to be returning any data. I know twitter has been cracking down on it's API. If anyone could shine some light on the situation I would be very grateful. I am currently running windows through a mac bootcamp partition if that makes any difference. Also. I downloaded the plugin about a month ago and it seemed to be working fine then. Conor

Hi Conor: could you send me your file and I'll try from over here in the states, make sure you include the location which you want to search, thanks

The location component just stopped working for me. It was working fine for a while but has now stopped returning adresses and points. I was wondering if there was a daily limit on location queries that I had exceeded, or some other reason why the location component might suddenly stop working?

(The google direct component still works fine)

Tom: yes , it does have a limit..... if you bombard it with a bunch of request in one go , google thinks you are trying to hack them. Try another network and let me know if it works then..... It is still working for me as of right now

Ooops! I think that's what I may have accidentally done. Do you know if I am banned from for life or just temprorarily suspended?

You are suspended for an hour or so, i think.... you should be up and running again by tomorrow for sure though.

I would try again in 1 hour

How can I extract uploaded images from my twitter account. I managed to extract the link but fail to extract image URL. Can you explain how? It says here that Flikr component can be used to extract image from twitter as well but not really clear how to do it. Can anyone explain? Thank you in advance.

you need to use the image-download component

IMAGE-DOWNLOAD

This component allows us to download images from a URL list and save them to a directory on our hard drives. This component is meant to be used with the Flickr and Twitter component.

ImageURL: The list of image http url you want to download.

Name: The name that should be given to the file.

Directory: The directory in which to save the image.

Reload: If toggled the images will be downloaded.

This plugIn is awesome. Thanks a lot.

Thomas: no problem , hope you find it useful :)

Carson. Just let you know that Mosquito is not working at the moment. Any issues with the plug in that you are aware of?
