Data returned by users show method drastically reduced

[bartt]

What happened to the users show method? It used to return a lot more
data. Now at least the following data is missing:

- friends
- favorites
- timezone
- design settings

Is this a bug or intentional? The API documentation makes no mention
of a change to the users show method.

Yeah, I just noticed this as well. There was nothing announced on the
Twitter Status page about this. Would be nice if there was a heads up
before these changes are made.

This is happening to me also - I'm not receiving the friend count,
update count, or favorites count.

I think this is a known bug, can you file a ticket if it's not?

I'm seeing this as well, but it isn't consistent. For example, my
username (chrisscott) gives the abbreviated info but using the example
username (bob) from the API docs gives the full info. I've also been
able to see the full info. for some other accounts.

If there's been a bug filed, can someone let me know and I'll post
details there if needed?

FYI...

I saw this the other day (http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-
development-talk/browse_thread/thread/849f55441abdf59e?hl=en). I
didn't see a bug entered for it yet so I entered a bug for it tonight
(http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=29). Apologies
to Evan and crew if it was already entered.
