[twitter-dev] Re: Paging STILL broken
Just wanted to follow up on this thread. We've pushed out a change and associated documentation that should allow for reliable, fast pagination through lists of denormalized IDs. Please kick the tires on the new cursor-based pagination: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-friends%C2%A0ids http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-followers%C2%A0ids On Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 09:33, Ryan Sarver rsar...@twitter.com wrote: Waldron, I wish I had an exact ETA for you, but unfortunately these types of issues are never simple.
