There is a previous post about this from 9/2010 without any response and I feared reply there would go unnoticed, so here is a new post (sorry)
I cannot get a response json or xml that contains the documented next_cursor and previous_cursor. And without these, there is no way to get the full list for users with more followers than the API will return in a single response. Here are two example twurl links to illustrate this issue: - json for user_id 158414847 (@TheDailyShow): long_twurl_link - xml for user_id 158414847 (@TheDailyShow): another_long_twurl_link Here are the results (abridged): json: [ 14784309, 223112592, 184849648, 147520179, 210794450, 221171315, 169841576, 208912350, 106867628, ... 7384292, 7203292, 6633982, 6609302, 6369362, 616113 ] xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <ids> <id>14784309</id> <id>223112592</id> <id>184849648</id> <id>147520179</id> <id>210794450</id> <!-- ... --> <id>7203292</id> <id>6633982</id> <id>6609302</id> <id>6369362</id> <id>616113</id> </ids> As you can see, neither have the cursor fields. This is now a showstopper for my current project and I need a solution fast. Any workarounds out there would be very helpful as I cannot find a way around this at all, but I cannot imagine that all apps out there are just as busted as mine right now.
