John, Just so we know, is this 5,000 thing going to be fixed over the weekend, or will we have to wait until Tuesday? Dewald On Sep 5, 12:35 am, John Kalucki jkalu...@gmail.com wrote: We're aware of the problem with the following API not returning more than 5,000 followers. Apparently this

Using Twitter4J, and what I've been seeing is last night, getFollowersIDs(), including suspended. This AM, the filtering of suspended accounts seems to be working again. On the other hand, getFollowersStatuses() doesn't seem to be filtering out the suspended accounts. pg On Sep 5, 7:36 am,

Hello I am seeing right now (14:45 UTC) discrepancy between the list of my followers as reported by my home page at Twitter.com (which is correct) and the list reported by the API - which seems to be several days old (it includes several followers that I blocked recently). Is anyone else seeing

All the time. I have given up on expecting consistency between summary numbers and the actual detail data. Twitter has to do so much data replication for performance reasons, I think it's extremely tough to keep everything in sync. It's like the discrepancies in search results and site rankings

John, thanks for spending time on this. Any chance we can get a lift on the follow limits for a temporary time so I can catch up a few users that were affected by this? Or, if you want to do it on a per-user basis I can send you the names of the users. Jesse On Sat, Sep 5, 2009 at 7:55 AM,

I find if you take it as the rule and not the exception it's much easier to plan. Seems that way lately with Twitter. :-) FWIW, I know you hate hearing this, but Facebook's API pushes changes into a beta staging environment every Tuesday, notifies developers of the changes as they update it, and

There have been times when a friend or follower id has been reported multiple times. Did you check to see if any of the friend or follower ids that you get back were duplicates? - h On Fri, Sep 4, 2009 at 20:17, Dewald Pretorius dpr...@gmail.com wrote: For @dewaldp I get, via the API social

Several months ago there were multiple subtle problems with consistency in following lists. We've since rolled to a new system that have numerous constraints in place to prevent duplicates and provide much stronger consistency guarantees. There is, however, a known issue around pagination. You

Can Twitter remove the following per hour limit for a little bit after they fix this (at least for whitelisted IPs and/or OAuth)? This has caused us, and I'm sure many other apps to pre-emptively unfollow people that they were not supposed to. This is a BIG problem! I completely agree with
