Missing profile images of users on Tweeght
We are seeing that there are few users whose profile images are missing on Tweeght or their profile info on Tweeght is inconsistent with the Twitter profile info. It’s because we do not request Twitter server everytime we need to show user’s profile info. This is to reduce the number of requests we make to Twitter API as they have some limit on how many requests we can make to their servers. So we store the user’s profile info on our database when the user’s account is created.
But after that account creation, if a user updates her profile image or info on Twitter, then that change does not get notified to Tweeght. Now we have fixed that issue by running a small cron job which will continuously update user profiles one by one, and will make the profile info consistent across Twitter and Tweeght. Pretty soon you will see all user profiles will get their correct profile info on Tweeght as well. So stay tuned…
