Status timelines paginate with the page parameters. Social graph resources such as the members in a list use the cursor parameters. We're looking to rationalize all this as we move to new systems but for now there are different interfaces. You use the same mechanisms for the list statuses timeline

We will support specifying a list by both id and slug indefinitely. Though we recognize the short comings of finding by slug since they are prone to changing, there are use cases where finding by slug is a lot more convenient. So we'll be supporting both. You never *have* to search by slug :-) On

The OAUTH method has a return URL that you give Twitter when you register your app. After user authentication, Twitter POSTs variables back to that link so you can store the keys for the user and start making calls. On Nov 4, 4:48 pm, dhynesok wrote: > I've seen where, from a Twitter app, I can
