[twitter-dev] Re: Retrieving a list of followers and/or friends for an arbitrary user...
Along the lines of retrieving a list of an arbitrary user's friends or followers--is there any way to convert the list of numbers into screen names or user names without calling the /users/show.xml?id=x function over and over? Even for a modest friends or followers list it seems like you'd run into the rate limiter immediately just to produce a list of names...

Yes you can fetch list of followers and friends of any arbitrary user , see the link,. http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-followers%C2%A0ids On Sat, Jul 4, 2009 at 4:27 PM, kmslogic kmslo...@gmail.com wrote: I can get a list of followers/friends for the current authenticated user, but I can't figure out how to do it for an arbitrary user. Does the API allow this? You can definitely do it even without being authenticated on the Twitter web site.

Perfect! Somehow the social graph section that friends/ids and followers/ids were in threw me and I didn't even check there (also there is another method to pull the list from the current authenticated user which is weird)
