i actually started out using statuses/friends until i realized that it was only 100 results per call. then i would have to go into paging. plus i didnt need the other data that is returned. so then i decided that their must be a more direct call to make. i suppose not.
so if i return to statuses/friends approach, i would have to determine how many pages of friends exist for that user so i can import all the friends. it would have been helpful if in the data response, the total # of pages was listed as well. but i cna calculate based on <friends_count>###</friends_count>. any other thoughts? is this what others are doing to get complete friends list? thanks. sull On Jun 17, 10:30 pm, Abraham Williams <[email protected]> wrote: > statuses/friends would probably be faster. > > On Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 20:11, sull <[email protected]> wrote: > > > i found it odd that i cannot seem to get a simple API response with > > all of a user's friends screen_names, only user ids. do i need to > > make a request from users/show after i do friends/ids ? am i missing > > a direct call or more efficient method? > > > thanks. > > -- > Abraham Williams | Community |http://web608.org > Hacker |http://abrah.am|http://twitter.com/abraham > Project |http://fireeagle.labs.poseurtech.com > This email is: [ ] blogable [x] ask first [ ] private.
