How to get a list of followers or following?

[pauljbeaton]

When I set up my Foursquare account, I was able to send invites to all the people that I follow that have a Foursquare account. I’m looking for a way to get a list of people I follow. How is that done?

Did you learn how to do this yet?

If you just need the user ids of the users you are following or who follow you, then it’s usually a single API call. If you need the screen_names and other biographical data, you’ll need to chain API requests together.

The methods you are looking for are:

• [node:22] and [node:21] for getting the ids
• [node:63] to “hydrate” the user_ids into full user objects

  <?php
  $trends_url = "http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/followers/rohitfantasy.json";
  $ch = curl_init(); 
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $trends_url);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
  $curlout = curl_exec($ch);
  curl_close($ch);
  $response = json_decode($curlout, true);
  foreach($response as $friends){
  $thumb = $friends['profile_image_url'];
  $url = $friends['screen_name'];
  $name = $friends['name'];

 ?>
<a title="<?php echo $name;?>" href="http://www.twitter.com/<?php echo $url;?>">

<?php
 }

The methods you are looking for are:

• GET friends/ids and GET followers/ids for getting the ids
• GET users/lookup to “hydrate” the user_ids into full user objects

[sentimentoeu]

• GET / IDS amigos e seguidores GET / IDS para obter o ids
• GET usuários / pesquisa para “hidratar” os user_ids em objetos totais de usuário

updated your print statement

<?php $trends_url = "http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/followers/zkm.json"; $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $trends_url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); $curlout = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); $response = json_decode($curlout, true); foreach($response as $friends){ $thumb = $friends['profile_image_url']; $url = $friends['screen_name']; $name = $friends['name']; print "" . ""; }

Hei vijay, the code given by @rohitfantasy and @ZKM is correct way to get username by followers. if you just want to display username of your followers just echo $url.

Hmm just wondering if it’s possible to get “mutual following”? It’s like fetching only the users you follow, and at the same time, they follow you back?

[ironyzm]

any one know, i use this and work on my xampp

//Twitter Follower
$twit = file_get_contents(‘http://twitter.com/users/show/’.$user[‘twitter’].’.xml’);
$begin = ‘<followers_count>’; $end = ‘</followers_count>’;
$page = $twit;
$parts = explode($begin,$page);
$page = $parts[1];
$parts = explode($end,$page);
$tcount = $parts[0];
if($tcount == ‘’) { $tcount = 0; }
$tcount = number_format($tcount);
$Aipolow = ‘’.$tcount.’ Follower’;
echo ‘

Twitter: ‘.$Aipolow.’

’;

but when i use it on my site the count still 0

I know to get more than the small list you have to use authentication. Does the code change though if you want the full list of followers?

[designlayerz]

i just tried this code and its telling me that curl_init() has not been declared

[gaurav00137]
