[twitter-dev] Re: Bug: friends/ids returning invalid user IDs
There's nothing to worry about. Twitter periodically suspends users for spam and other rogue activities. Such suspended users might still be part of friends/ids but their profile information will not be returned. -Nischal On Jul 22, 10:56 pm, soung3 sou...@gmail.com wrote: I've encountered an issue with the friends/ids where the IDs returned can contain IDs of non-existent users.

Within the IDs returned, there is a value = 28745723, which can not be found when using users/show (http://api.twitter.com/1/users/show.xml? id=28745723). Has anyone else encountered the same bug when using the friends/ids or followers/ids endpoints?

It's not only suspended users, but also users that are no longer found. Why does Twitter return ids of users that no longer exist?
