Get total followers count query

[Rajat Chowdhary]

Hey!Guys,

Need a help. When I do a client.followers, it returns me the list of all followers(upto 5000) and cursor value specifying if there is a next page or not?

Two things:

1. Would it be possible to just get the count of followers rather than the list?

2. If the cursor value is positive, indicating that I have more than 5k followers, how do I make another call to get the followers on the second page?

Any help is greatly appreciated and is much needed :)

Thanks, 

[Steve Agalloco]

Follower count is returned as part of the user/show endpoint: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/users/show

Through the gem, you can access the followers_count on Twitter::User like so:

client = Twitter::Client.new({})

me = client.user('anno')

me.followers_count

Much easier that iterating over all the followers.

I got that figured out!! Many thanks, Steve.
