How to get mutual friendship in rate limited time if user has more than 3000 followers?

Hi, everyone,

I’m current working on one of my apps that need to find out the mutual friendship of a specified user. But if the user has more than 3000 followers or followings, it will be hard to do so.

Using followers/ids.json -> friendship/lookup. Since friendship/lookup has a rate limit@15/15mins, means I can verify up to 1500 friendship(no matter it is mutual or not.)
Using followers/list.json&count=200. Since max count for followers/list.json is 200 and has a rate limit@15/15mins, that means I can verify up to 3000 friendship(no matter it is mutual or not)

For any user that has more than 3000 followers, HOW can I find out all the mutual friends?

Can you provide a friendships/mutual even only with ids?

Thanks a lot.

Tonny

For some users you’ll just have to think beyond 15 minutes – it’ll just take you longer than that to completely compute mutual followers for those users.
