Re: [twitter-dev] users lookup - user missing
From search, and now looking at the page I apparently missed this big warning: Warning: The user ids in the Search API are different from those in the REST API (about the two APIs /API-Overview). This defect is being tracked by Issue 214http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=214. This means that the to_user_id and from_user_id field vary from the actualy user id on Twitter.com. Applications will have to perform a screen name-based lookup with the users/show/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-users%C2%A0show method to get the correct user id if necessary. My apologies for wasting your time. --Christopher On Thu, Apr 22, 2010 at 10:12 PM, Mark McBride mmcbr...@twitter.com wrote: The userid for elliottng appears to be 4696.

No problem. It's something high on our priority list to get rectified. ---Mark http://twitter.com/mccv On Fri, Apr 23, 2010 at 8:17 PM, Christopher Stumm christop...@stumm.ca wrote: From search, and now looking at the page I apparently missed this big warning: Warning: The user ids in the Search API are different from those in the REST API (about the two APIs).
