[twitter-dev] Can we have bulk statuses/show?

2010-09-01 Thread Jaanus
The statuses/show/:id API method right now only retrieves a single
status. Could we have a bulk version, where you can pass a set of
status ID-s, and receive a set of statuses in return? Primary
motivation is to conserve rate limit. In some apps, you have a set of
status ID-s that you want to display to user, and fetching them one by
one consumes limit like crazy.

Fetching a random list of statuses is likely to include a number of statuses
that are not in cache. I think accounting for them on a one-by-one basis
models our cost fairly well.
