Hi,
I have changed my logic to fetch 100 users at a time using
statuses/friends call. And passing cursor parameter everytime after
one call recursively. But this process is becoming very slow and it is
taking very long time to fetch the records & getting terminated
suddenly. What you people suggest in order to export the data with
lesser number of calls & speedily even though user is having more
number of friends?
