Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Friend and Follower count - since timestamp
Hey Nischal, So this doesn't get lost in the email archive would you be able to create this as an enhancement request in our issue tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Thanks, Matt On Tue, Jul 6, 2010 at 10:00 PM, nischalshetty nischalshett...@gmail.comwrote: Thanks. That would help me in listing out new followers. But if any of a users old friends stopped following them, I wouldn't get it :( Anyways, hoping to see a 'since' param with new and deleted ids sent.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Friend and Follower count - since timestamp
Just wanted to add, it's a sad thing etags see hardly any use today. Back when the graph methods weren't paginated, you could just send a request with the etag header set and it would come back not modified, a very efficient thing to do. It won't give you the difference between arbitrary points in time, but for most applications, it's quite enough. I don't think anybody ever confirmed that this even works with paginated calls, but I don't see why it couldn't (especially since pages are apparently newest first, as Raffi said).
