[twitter-dev] Reg: statuses/show method in REST API
Hi, I have a problem while getting the twitter user information using API method "statuses/show". I have a account "https://twitter.com/scpltest"; . It contains 6 followings and 1 follower. But when i am trying to get the user information using the API method (using following URL) http://twitter.com/users/show.xml?screen_name=scpltest It is showing the "followers_count=0 and friends_count=0 ". In site it is showing it as 6 and 1. Why the "Show" API method is not getting the updated count? Is there any method to get the total Followings and Followers count using API methods. Thanks & Regards, kkp

[twitter-dev] Reg. Get the New Twitters to follow
Hello All, I want to fetch the twitter accounts which i need to follow based on a particular twitter user's followers / followings directly. When i search a twitter account say(twitter) and i want to follow the specified twitter id's followers / followings where there is no friendship exists among the specified account and the one which is searching. So that they can directly follow the other user's followers / followings without rechecking for the freindship exists among each of the users which we get. Here is an example in detail: I am a user with twitter account id as "searcher" and i want to follow a particular twitter id's(say "searchable") followers / followings. If i've already followed some of the users whom "searchable" is followed / followed by then those must not be included in getting the results which i need to follow. I am using the following method to get the friends list. http://twitter.com/statuses/friends.xml?screen_name=searchable this method is returning all the followings who are also followed by me. I want to get the friends list who i am not following. If i get all the results i have to check "friendships/exists" explicitly the for every user. this will waste a call and consume time also. How can i get the twitters info whom i am not following using "statuses/friends" and "statuses/followers" ? Is there other methods in API to get this list? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks & Regards kkp
[twitter-dev] Reg: Follow/Un-Follow Multiple users
Hi, I want to follow/unfollow multiple users in one web request. At present i am following/un follow users individually by sending each user. It is taking long time and waste calls. If i have 100 users to follow/un follow i am sending 100 requests , this will take a long time process and taking more time and take 100 calls. I have another problem... If i want to unfollow "unmutuals" .Is there any method to get the unmutualls? Present i am using the following scenario ..I have 100 followings and i want to unfollow the "Un mutauls". using my application. i get the 100 users and checking the frienship is exists or not from following user to me using "friendships/exists " API method. if friendship is not exists i unfollow users using the API method "friendships/destroy ". So in this way i consuming 200 calls . 100 calls for "friendships/ exists" and 100 calls for "friendships/destroy". so many calls are taking and application will also take too long time to perform this operation. How can wee overcome this. So my questions are .. 1. Is there any way(methods) to " follow/unfollow" users as bulk ? 2. Is there any methods are available to get the "Un mutuals" from following list? thanks & regards kkp
