creepy's Issues

No Locations Found for Selected Project

Pretty much for whatever username I input, I keep getting "No locations found for selected project." Don't know if its the program that's glitching or its something I am doing wrong.

Authorizing in Twitter

I can't get it to do anything, clicking "Authorize Creepy" does not bring up browser or interact with Twitter in any way.

Terminal shows this:

I'm running in Kali 1.06, 64 bit. Appreciate any tips.

Twitter Authorize issue

I have downloaded creepy to my Windows 7 machine. When I am searching for a person without a user name i get an error that says I have to authorize. I go to the settings tab and hit authorize. Nothing happens. Is there supposed to be a pin in the box that says pin? I made no changes to the creepy.conf file located in my User directory. I then tried to search via a twitter name. The program said it was able to locate a certain number of tweets but could not pull the geodata from it. Why?

Instagram plugin

Duplicate- sorry

Cree.py timing out when connecting to Twitter.

Cree.py only works for Flickr accounts, I have tried multiple things to fix it. I have tried making sure my authorization for Twitter is correct, a VM running Ubuntu. Cree.py pops up a lightbulb and the retrieving of tweets stops.. I.E. 48 tweets have been retrieved out of a total of 69.

Twitter Plugin Not Working

Hi,

I'm using Creepy v 1.0.1 on WinXP.. When i try and run the Twitter Plug-in config wiz it returns the config for Flickr every time...

Many Thanks,

Error

Assistance please.

I bought a new computer with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

When I install Cree.py, I get the following error at the end of the installation.

Error parsing configuration file: 'cons_string'

It loads, but all I get is searching locations.

Also when I click on Edit and go to Settings, it has a Authorize Creepy button
and there is a block to enter a PIN#.

Please advise.

I used this with Windows XP and never encountered a issue.

Thank you,

Darryl

twitter :(

Hi !!

for the windows v .. still there is a bug for twitter plugin ):

what i'm asking about :

what if! that you can give us the web page link for the Plugin and give us a way to do it manually to input something in the 2 access token ..

I know that I'm saying bla bla bla hhh but plz! help us ASAP

Casa da Ana

1.0.1 redirects me to Flickr auth when running config.

Before I posted, I tried both versions.. The new version once updated throws me to the flickr extension when trying to run the config in Twitter Extension.

I can't authorize/I dont know how to

What steps do I need to take to authorize Creepy?

I have the program installed and running, but no matter what user I search, Creepy returns 0 location results. It finds tweets, but no locations.

When I press the "authorize" under the twitter tab in settings, nothing happens. I press the button, and nothing happens at all.

What is the pin I'm supposed to enter, and where do I find one? I could not find any reference to this pin in any of the readme's or installation txts. I think in one of these posts the creator mentioned a "log in with twitter" option. DOes that exist, and if so where is it?

Create a setup using distutils/setuptools

It would be cool if you would provide a setup using distutils[1] or setuptools[2].

Porting to osx - help needed

Hi guys,

I need some help porting/packaging creepy to osx. It would require basically a setup of http://gtk-osx.sourceforge.net/ , and all the python libraries mentioned in the INSTALL/README file and some experimentation with bundling the application.

Is this app still active?

I recently installed and authorized it. I have 3 problems.

1. Every time i close the app it needs to be reauthorized.
2. query ends with "we're experiencing problems connecting to twitter. We were not able to retrieve all users an
3. The search button yields no results

Help please, and thank you

Crashes in windows version

User interface crashes when :

• Searching for users in twitter while not authenticated
• Searching locations of users with protected timelines when not authenticated or not following

It has to do with gtk+ , I will have it resolved before v0.2 . Currently investigating alternatives.

Multiple "Start Dictation..." menu entries.

Using OSX Mavericks, a new "Start Dictation..." menu entry shows up every time I open and close the Plugin Configuration window.

No pulling location data from Twitter

I have tested several accounts that I know to contain geolocation data - unfortunately, the analyze always results in no location found. "We could not find any locations for the analyzed project".

I'm not sure how to send a log file - but I'd like to figure out what the issue is. had no issues configuring the plugins.

Browser not opening for authorization in BT5 (moved)

Copying here from a comment on another issue by @facelessloser

I'm using creepy with backtrack5 but when i have to press the authorize creepy button nothing happens. I've got firefox set as my default browser and set in my preferred application list

creepy doesn't seem to handle expired twitpic photos

I got an error that this photo could not be downloaded:

http://twitpic.com/1e9ghv

It would be great if creepy could gracefully handle this case.

Don't find few users (Twitter)

I realize that if a username I look for ends by a _ or many following _ like JohnDoe_ it will remains like a "JohnDoe" search, so the results are wrong.

It shouldn't ignore the "_" chars.

Creepy problem

Hey so I was trying to trace this twitter account that's been bullying me and I put in their username in the top part and hit geolocate or whatever and it always comes up with nothing. Then I put it in the lower part and it says that only authenticated users can search other users. Check your settings.
Please help me figure out how to work this :( hahah

Authorize button won't do anything on 1.94

When I click Authorize Creepy via Twitter, nothing happens. I've read sometimes the Timezones can mess it up, and my time was off for some reason, but this has been rectified, uninstalled and reinstalled and still nothing.

Mac Instllation

Has anyone got this up and working on OS X?

Yfrog image retrieval broken

Yfrog changed its web interface , so the image retrieval function no longer works. I'll work on fixing that a.s.a.p

Awesome tool. Is there a way to install it on Lucid (dependencies for osmgpsmap)?
Thanks!

Error parsing configuration file : 'cons_string'

After installing and starup i recieve this error: Error parsing configuration file : 'cons_string'

Too many Twitter API calls?

Running it on Ubuntu 10.10 and get this error:

"Error while accessing twitter .The problem was : Rate limit exceeded. Clients may not make more than 150 requests per hour."

Could it be related to the fact that I run Gwibber too?

Twitter error response: status code = 502

Win version @ Win 7 Home edition,

Hi John,
Really cool app. (Eisai arhigos!!) I am not a computer expert, so please handle gently.

Sometimes, when attempting to geolocate a twitter account, after few secs of "This can take a while, please hold ... ", the following message appears: "Error while accessing twitter .The problem was : Twitter error response: status code = 502".
The same can happen in the middle of a search process (i.e. when already some logs appear in the table) Is this a Twitter problem, or a bug?

Here are some suggestions from my "marketing" perspective:

Also when when the search outcome appears i.e. "83 tweets have been retrieved out of a total of 156". there are times that there is nothing written in the results table. I do assume that this is because the specific user has no location information. In a later version you can produce an output in the table saying exactly that.

Find a way to associate map pins with log outputs, can be numbers on pin & the table, can be highlighting and pin color change, you name it.

Can I have access to the specific tweet when I double click a log entry?

Thanks!!
