Why user time line not working for some users

[jayapalchandran]

Hi,
https://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/jayapalchandran.json?callback=responsetwitter&count=2

i could get tweets for the above url and some of my friends url

but for some usernames the result is empty. why?

do we have to enable some thing in the developer section?

I don’t remember enabling something.

That’s not a valid API URL – you want something in the format of https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=jayapalchandran.json?callback=responsetwitter&count=2&include_rts=true

Keep in mind that our counts are maximum counts – you might get less (or none). By adding include_rts=true you can get a more consistent count.
