Hi Toddy,
The users/lookup method, which lookupUsers calls, will only return that
error if none of the user_ids/screen_names you provide are recognised. The
behavior of the API method is such that only the recognised
user_ids/screen_names are returned and any which are not found are left out
of the response.
As this method is a lookup by user_id or screen_name you can compare the
returned user_ids/screen_names with the ones you queried for. Those that are
missing from the response were not found in our user database.
You can find more information on the method in our developer documentation:
