hi marc. nope - we don't have a method that will let you do the equivalent of find people. I've scoured the API documentation, but to my surprise, can't find the answer... Does the API allow search for user by first name, last name, or screen name? I'm not interested in searching for tweets from or to a user, only in searching for user profiles matching the above criteria.

Thanks Abraham, that's the answer I was looking for. Appreciate it. Kevin, the search API is exactly what I don't want, but I appreciate you taking the time to make an attempt at answering. I'll get by with users/show?screen_name=... in the REST API. Thanks, -Marc On Aug 26, 1:45 pm, Abraham Williams 4bra...@gmail.com wrote: Not yet.
