[twitter-dev] Wrong id for retweets

2011-01-24 Thread Edi
It seems the API returns a wrong id value for the original tweet in a
retweet.

Take this as an example:
https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/show/29504582241484800.json

It returns:
id: 29504533839216640
id_str: 29504533839216642
The id_str is the correct value.

Am I the only one having this issue?

Many JSON parsers/Javascript-like programming languages can no longer
consume our Tweet ID integers -- if you view the raw response of this API
request, you'll see the correct value for the ID integer -- but the act of
consuming the JSON by most processors will munge the integer. It's
recommended to use id_str instead.
