I have a case where I am calling http://twitter.com/statuses/friends
and http://twitter.com/statuses/followers on the same user to discern
who is a friend, follower or mutual. There seems to be something wrong
with the data that is returned because some people who are mutually
following are not being returned in one or the other calls. I have
verified this with my own account. My account 'stevenbristol' is a
friend to 'Croaky' and he is a friend to me. He shows up here:
http://twitter.com/statuses/friends/stevenbristol.xml, but he does
show up here: http://twitter.com/statuses/followers/stevenbristol.xml.
When you look at both user's friends list on the web both users show
up there.
Is my logic wrong or is there a bug in the API?
cheers,

Hey Stephen,
I have a similar app, http://friendorfollow.com. I process my data in
a similar manner as you and I've also noticed some inaccuracies. So
far I've chalked it up to lag in the API data. Would be nice if the
data was a bit more reliable.

Hi Stephen,
I am relatively new to the API, having only just started looking at it yesterday, but I believe that the friends and followers lists are limited to 100 of the most recent updates. Depending upon how many followers or friends there are, you can append '?page=2' to the URL being called. This will then allow you to load further pages of followers/ friends for the given user.
I hope this helps,
Ross t
