Hi, just wondering if anyone can advise my on the following.

If I request this URL from the twitter API...

https://api.twitter.com/1/followers/ids.json?user_id=194615674

... then I will receive JSON in the response.

However If I request the same API call but for a more popular account
ID....

https://api.twitter.com/1/followers/ids.json?user_id=34613288

... then I get the 503 error and the "twitter is over capacity" page.

Can anyone provide some information on why I'm experiencing this? I'm
using OAuth but it's not required for the call and I get the same
behaviour whether I authenticate or not.

- Tom
