Thanks James. But for this i need to look into the Twitter account constantly right! I have to write a loop which is running all the time and looking for the Twitter users account for the updates.

Right now those modifier parameters are a bit of a mess, and may or may not work in tandem. Pick one or the other in the meantime, or request the whole thing and filter client-side.

Suspended Accounts still being returned in follower data
I'm still noticing suspended accounts showing up in follower data. Of course, you can detect them by checking the error message returned, but this is wasting near at least 5 minutes for each user in the script I'm running. Is there a way you can exclude those from the list of followers? Is there any reason to keep them in the list of followers? I'd rather not have to keep trying to follow people you guys know are suspended when you know they're suspended. I could put them on my own list, but how do I know their account has stopped being suspended? That would be a huge help if you could remove them from the followers list. Thanks, Jesse

Re: posting updates via js
I just noticed something shouldn't the Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded This could be the problem.
Re: posting updates via js
HTTP 500 Error usually means its a server error and its not your fault, however it may have something to do with your status post data. If you could, post the return headers and/or body. Also, it may have just been a simple problem with Twitter at the time. I just tested the API and it works fine for me: http://twitter.com/fastest963/status/1003271037 Maybe Alex or other devs can shed some light on something wrong with the Headers you sent.
Re: Suspended Accounts still being returned in follower data
Instead of removing them, you should just add a field like 'status' or something similar.
Re: Retrieve Another User's Friends Timeline without Authentication?
You cannot, sorry. However, you can keep track of Twitter's progress on OAuth. This method would not require any passwords.
Re: Suspended Accounts still being returned in follower data
A query parameter enabling me to not return the suspendeds would be ideal if you do that. The problem with just a 'status' for each follower is I still get all the suspended accounts returned in the follower data, taking longer to query all their friends. This can be anywhere near 50 and several hundred per individual.
