I have also used the /account/verify_credentials.json call, to get the number of friends, but that seems to exhibit the same problem. The json query result has changed since I asked the question, and it appears to be more correct now, but still doesn't match the xml result. The xml result matches twitter web page, but the json results appear to be somewhat stale. I am using the twitter ruby gem, which uses json. Also, in the meantime following started working again. The page I quoted below says there is no time component to follow limiting, just the friend/follow ratio and not until you reach 2000 friends (I was in the low 1000s, although I may have made more than 2000 follow requests over time). I want to do the right thing, but it really depends on knowing what the actual rules are. :) -Mark On Apr 25, 10:45 am, Cameron Kaiser <[email protected]> wrote: > > Also, I have noticed that json returns a very incorrect # of friends, > > different from what xml returns.
