[twitter-dev] Re: Get Followers information effectively
Try using statuses/followers: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method:-statuses followers This will return full user objects for all followers of the specific user. Abraham 2009/8/24 Marc Lacoursière m...@roosoft.com Is there a way to get that kind information but for all followers of a user? http://twitter.com/users/show/roosoft.xml Some users have many thousands of followers. I would like to compute something about that information. I doubt that Twitter would appreciate me if I make thousands of call to the previous URL in one shot changing the username each call. I know it's possible to get a list of the currently logged user's followers this way but it only outputs ids. http://twitter.com/friends/ids.xml Thanks!

It's noted in the bottom of the API v2 RoadMap document as an oft-requested feature, although even there, it doesn't appear that they have yet agreed to include it in the v2 API feature set. http://apiwiki.twitter.com/V2-Roadmap -damon -- http://twitter.com/damon
