Could not retrieve /statuses/friends.xml: 403 Forbidden

[cadetandrew]

I'm currently using an application for mIRC named BitlBee
(bitblee.org). With it you can see tweets from those you are following
and send tweets out. When you add your account it gives you an OAuth
token and an OAuth token. When the link is clicked it gives you a link
to a page where there is a pin number.

This all went fine, but about a week ago when I tried to sign in it
give me:
Login error: Could not retrieve /statuses/friends.xml: 403 Forbidden

Anyone know what might be causing this and possibly have a solution?

Note that I am not a developer for BitlBee, just a user.

/statuses/friends.xml API has deprecated by Twitter.So you did not get these details.

For getting friends details you can use a combination of friends.ids and user/lookup.
