Hi. Im facing some problems with streaming api and some twitter accounts. I didnt receive their tweets, retweets, etc…

Always I pass the id of the account. Some accounts can block this?

Always happens, is not something puntual. I can provide you some ids to test if you want

Thanks guys!

I found the reason:

18 digit Twitter user IDs behaving differently in statuses/filter Streaming APIs

I’m streaming 11 user IDs in statuses/filter follow parameter. 4 of the IDs are the newer 18 digit user IDs, the remaining 7 are older, shorter user IDs. The four newer 18 digit Twitter user IDs are being completely ignored by the stream, while all of the shorter user IDs are consistently returning new statuses. Does this make any sense to anyone?

What language are you coding in? JavaScript may mangle snowflake IDs and you need to use the string representation.

Javascript. With string representation everything works well. Thanks
