[twitter-dev] Basic Follow paging question
Sorry...but could not find the answer by searching this group. I'm sure this has already been answered but... I need to get a list of followers for a feature at chirplace.com called qwollow It seems by the api docs, that if I'm doing that via statuses/ followers, and even if I use the cursor, I still get a list of 100 followers. I'd prefer to get only 20 (like twitter itself does), because I'm doing a test on each follower as it is shown, slowing down the page load. Also, displaying 100 followers is information overload imo. Is there a trick to only return 10-20 followers at a time? Thanks

I used TwitterOAuth PHP Library in Chirplace.com. Made things simple.

I'll start the list with a couple that I use: Charles Proxy - @charlesproxy http://twitter.com/charlesproxy -http://www.charlesproxy.com/ Charles is an HTTP proxy / HTTP monitor / Reverse Proxy that enables a developer to view all of the HTTP and SSL / HTTPS traffic between their machine and the Internet. This includes requests, responses and the HTTP headers (which contain the cookies and caching information) Hurl - @hurlit http://twitter.com/hurlit -http://hurl.it/ Hurl makes HTTP requests. Enter a URL, set some headers, view the response, then share it with others. Perfect for demoing and debugging APIs. Hurl is also open source -http://defunkt.github.com/hurl/ TwitterOAuth PHP Library - @oauthlib http://twitter.com/oauthlib -http://github.com/abraham/twitteroauth The first PHP Library to support OAuth for Twitter's REST API. MIT licensed. GitHub - @github http://twitter.com/github -https://github.com/ GitHub is the easiest (and prettiest) way to participate in that collaboration: fork projects, send pull requests, monitor development, all with ease.

You can also use caching mechanism to store the information as array and paginate them while displaying.

Its really not a huge problem, I suppose. However, it would be beneficial if the follower/statuses had the same paging mechanism as timeline status methods do. Especially since twitter itself only shows 20 followers at a time (and does a full page refresh to move to the next page of followers!) Thanks for your help Lalit.
