Fascinating. I don't remember ever hearing about this method. There are a couple of references on the net: http://www.google.com/search?hl=enq=followers/befriend_all;http://www.google.com/search?hl=enq=%22followers/befriend_all%22 http://www.google.com/search?hl=enq=%22followers/befriend_all%22Abraham On Fri, Oct 9, 2009 at 13:42, PJB pjbmancun...@gmail.com wrote: If it is not in the Twitter API documentation, if the API call not work for you, if you see no reference to it here on this forum...

I tried to check in Archive.org, but at some point in 2007 Twitter excluded /api with robots.txt. Besides, it was so interesting to see how the Twitter home page evolved over time that I got completely distracted. Dewald PS. Oops. The other thread where I posted this was a mistake. Just shows you the extent of my distraction. On Oct 10, 6:45 am, Abraham Williams 4bra...@gmail.com wrote: Fascinating. I don't remember ever hearing about this method.

It'd be a great method to have - it'd save multiple calls to the api to get friends and followers and add the delta.

There's no need to bump threads here. As for your question, I believe the befriend_all link was available a year (or two) ago, until people abused it. If I remember correctly, it was accessible through a GET request which made it easy to abuse (shorten the link, tweet it out, boom!). Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, though. :) -- Chris Thomson On 2009-10-09, at 8:29 AM, Rick Yazwinski wrote: Bump..

If it is not in the Twitter API documentation, if the API call not work for you, if you see no reference to it here on this forum... I am at a loss why you are asking whether it exists or not.
