Will this be updating to the snowflake id strs workaround? Currently
it delivers ints in an array.

I'd like to propose a flag on all JSON API calls (?
ids_as_strings=true) to deliver ids as strings instead of ints. This
could apply to the cursor problem we saw earlier.

Yes, this will be supported also. We should have the support rolling out very early this week. It will be triggered via a query parameter: stringify_ids=true

This will apply to the following:


- friends/ids.json
- followers/ids.json
- blocks/blocking/ids.json
- friendships/no_retweets/ids.json
- statuses/:status_id/retweeted_by/ids.json

Thanks,

Taylor

great thanks I look forward to seeing this

is query parameter this not a suitable parameter for every API call? A
custom 'stringify ids' header is another idea I had although that
wouldn't work with JSONP
