[twitter-dev] Re: Followers Count doesn't add up with the actual followers
I can confirm this now. I just pulled the remaining followers that were not in the paged follower-list, but exist in the social-graph. So far all of them are suspended account. I guess with the paged list, the API only brings back the ones that are active. Chris On Fri, Jul 3, 2009 at 7:37 PM, Tim timot...@gmail.com wrote: Where are the other 200 go ?

Others have also noticed that some accounts show up multiple times in the list of followers when retrieved via the API. Not sure why that happens, but it does. - h On Fri, Jul 3, 2009 at 11:37, Tim timot...@gmail.com wrote: Where are the other 200 go ?

Thanks Matt for pointing to the right place. Hope that this issue can be resolved quickly, because the alternative of hitting the individual user for all followers would be a disaster.

I have a user that has followers_count = 6000+ But when I try to collect the user data of those followers by paging through the statuses/followers API, at the end of the pages (where no more items are returned back), I get only about 5800-ish users. Where are the other 200 go ? Am I missing something here ? Thanks for your help, Chris
