How would I go about converting a large number of usernames (300+) to
userids? My plan is to use user/follow, which uses userids. I have
tried using users/lookup (http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/users/
lookup), but I need the OAuth of the users I am looking up, which I
don't have. I could use
The solution for this would involve coding if it were me.
Store the usernames in an array.
Loop through the array while calling:
http://api.twitter.com/1/users/show.json?screen_name=screen_name
Parse out the id.
Cheers, Barce

Hey Riley,
You should use users/lookup, with the screen_name parameter (up to 100
are allowed in a single request). Not sure to get what you mean by the
OAuth of the users I am looking up? The only thing you need is to sign your
request.
