Thanks Alex, looks great. I'm playing with it now and am looking to use it to replace the additional show/user.json call that I previously needed. There are a few properties that are in user/show but not in the verify_credentials method, I was wondering if there are plans to include these in a future update, or if I'll need to continue using two separate calls as I am now.
Those that are missing/not returned are: - friends_count - utc_offset - profile_text_color - statuses_count - profile_link_color - notifications - following - time_zone - created_at - profile_sidebar_fill_color - favourites_count - profile_sidebar_border_color - profile_background_color thanks On Dec 11, 1:07 pm, "Alex Payne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Just a reminder: today was the day for this change to go live, and it > just went live. > > > > On Thu, Dec 4, 2008 at 12:42, Brooks Bennett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I agree, this is a great change. > > > On Dec 3, 11:07 pm, "dean.j.robinson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > wrote: > >> "return the representation of the authenticated user" > > >> does that mean that the response will be the same as if we > >> calledhttp://twitter.com/users/show/id.format for the authenticated user? > >> If so that would be awesome and means I could completely eliminate > >> some of the extra api calls that I'm making.
