Hi Cesare, This is due to the different caching being used on the API. In some cases the counts will appear to update immediately, in other cases it will take a little while. If the accuracy of counts is important you can get the number of friends or followers a user by counting the number of IDs return by the /friends/ids or followers/ids methods.
You can learn more about them here: http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/friends/ids http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/followers/ids Hope that helps, Matt On Tue, Aug 24, 2010 at 5:25 AM, Cesare Rocchi <[email protected]> wrote: > I verified the same behavior with twurl > ~> twurl -d screen_name=$NAME /1/friendships/destroy.json > -c. > On Mon, Aug 23, 2010 at 4:12 PM, funkyboy <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Hello, >> >> I am playing with the api. >> When I unfollow somebody (friendships/destroy) the info returned is >> incorrect, that is >> following = 1. >> >> The opposite works correctly, that is when I follow (friendships/ >> create), the info >> returned is correct, following = 1. >> >> Is it a bug? >> I am using json format. >> >> Thanks >> >> -c. >> >> ps: After unfollowing if I load user profile (/users/show) the info >> returned is correct, >> I am not following him. > > > -- > Cesare Rocchi > studiomagnolia.com > -- Matt Harris Developer Advocate, Twitter http://twitter.com/themattharris -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk?hl=en
