Call GET users/show with the user_id parameter and that will get you back the full user object including the handle.

I’ve seen that. Bulk is the problem. I need to get screen_name and others for 7000 ids I have. But there is a rate limit of 15 url calls for 15 mins isn’t it? how to work around that and get the full user object and handle for all 7000?

You can call GET users/lookup which lets you batch it. There’s no way around the rate limit, you’ll have to work within that.
