When I inspect the objects returned by @Anywhere, id and id_str are
consistently different.
Some examples:
id: 78578304315179000
id_str: 78578304315179009
id: 78574658827460600
id_str: 78574658827460608
The IDs being used at twitter.com seem to be those of id_str.
But why then is @Anywhere erroneously using the id when calling e.g.
favourite() ?

They aren't different. JavaScript can't handle large numbers (I think the
limit was at 53 bits) so there's an id_str as well, to avoid this issue. In
JavaScript, always use id_str.

In an @Anywhere application we are building at http://tweetshow.nu/ we would
like to use the (as of yet unofficial and unsupported) in-browser
object-oriented wrappers for the REST API for marking statuses as favourites.
However, there seems to be some confusion with respect to the ids in the
generated requests.
Specifically, when we call someStatus.favourite() in our application, we see
this (failed) request:
• Request URL:
https://api.twitter.com/1/favorites/create/77973769376894980.json
• Request Method: POST
• Status Code: 404 Not Found
On the other hand, if we favourite the same status directly at
http://twitter.com/, we see this request:
• Request URL:
http://api.twitter.com/1/favorites/create/77973769376894976.json
• Request Method: POST
• Status Code: 200 OK
Notice that the ids don't match, even though it's the same status.
Inspecting the status object, I noticed that both ids occur:
• attributes: Object
• contributors: null
• coordinates: null
• created_at: Tue Jun 07 05:42:49 + 2011
• favorited: false
• geo: null
• id: 77973769376894980
• id_str: 77973769376894976
• in_reply_to_screen_name: null
• in_reply_to_status_id: null
• in_reply_to_status_id_str: null
It leaves me wondering:
Why is id different from idStr?
Why does the @Anywhere API seem to use the wrong attribute in generating the
request?
Any hints would be much appreciated.
Best regards
Christian
