I am developing an app for which I want to see the total numbers of followers on a certain topic. I use the search api to get the tweets (the topic is different each time). At this point I need to call the REST api for each userid to count all followers. This gets me above the api rate limit very quicky.
Could we have an extra respons field in the search api to also include the followers_count for the userid in each tweet? thanks Bart
