Streaming came up with an event which had the following user:
{'contributors_enabled': False,
'created_at': 'Sun Sep 20 12:56:26 +0000 2009',
'default_profile': True,
'default_profile_image': True,
'description': None,
'favourites_count': 0,
'follow_request_sent': None,
'followers_count': 2,
'following': None,
'friends_count': 3,
'geo_enabled': False,
'id': 75781174,
'id_str': '75781174',
'is_translator': False,
'lang': 'en',
'listed_count': 0,
'location': '',
'name': 'Mysteriously Unnamed',
'notifications': None,
'profile_background_color': 'C0DEED',
'profile_background_image_url': 'http://abs.twimg.com/images/themes/theme1/bg.png',
'profile_background_image_url_https': 'https://abs.twimg.com/images/themes/theme1/bg.png',
'profile_background_tile': False,
'profile_image_url': 'http://abs.twimg.com/sticky/default_profile_images/default_profile_0_normal.png',
'profile_image_url_https': 'https://abs.twimg.com/sticky/default_profile_images/default_profile_0_normal.png',
'profile_link_color': '0084B4',
'profile_sidebar_border_color': 'C0DEED',
'profile_sidebar_fill_color': 'DDEEF6',
'profile_text_color': '333333',
'profile_use_background_image': True,
'protected': False,
'screen_name': '',
'statuses_count': 291,
'time_zone': None,
'url': None,
'utc_offset': None,
'verified': False}
As you can see, the user has no screen name. The status id is 613671518711742465. I tried getting it via the /statuses/show/ endpoint and it has the same incomplete user.
I found these two items while searching:
One suggests this is a SMS user, the other one suggests a bug.
What’s up with these users?
