Twitter API Connection Errors?

[sebicas]

I am having a problem when the Twitter API is down, my whole application crash.
Is there any standar way to deal with connection errors?

Thanks!

I'm assuming you're talking about the Streaming API. If Twitter closes the connection, the close event gets emitted, and twit will automatically do the reconnection for you.

No, not the Streaming API, the Status API I have my App posting twits every 20 minutes, and over the last 2 days it failed 3 times.

OK, the callback you write should be handling the error then if twitter returns an error. Is there not enough information passed to the callback for you to handle the error?

[sebicas]

You are right, looks like I wasn't handling the error correctly... problem solved! Thanks so much!

no worries :)
