How can I get all followers and following from a user's Twitter account.
I get followers and following counts. However I need usernames of followers and following users.
Here my code.
- (void) getAccountInfo
{
ACAccountStore *accountStore = [[ACAccountStore alloc] init];
ACAccountType *accountType = [accountStore accountTypeWithAccountTypeIdentifier:ACAccountTypeIdentifierTwitter];
[accountStore requestAccessToAccountsWithType:accountType options:nil completion:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error){
if (granted) {
NSArray *accounts = [accountStore accountsWithAccountType:accountType];
// Check if the users has setup at least one Twitter account
if (accounts.count > 0)
{
ACAccount *twitterAccount = [accounts objectAtIndex:0];
// Creating a request to get the info about a user on Twitter
SLRequest *twitterInfoRequest = [SLRequest requestForServiceType:SLServiceTypeTwitter requestMethod:SLRequestMethodGET URL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"https://api.twitter.com/1.1/users/show.json"] parameters:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:twitterAccount.username forKey:@"screen_name"]];
[twitterInfoRequest setAccount:twitterAccount];
// Making the request
[twitterInfoRequest performRequestWithHandler:^(NSData *responseData, NSHTTPURLResponse *urlResponse, NSError *error) {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
// Check if we reached the reate limit
if ([urlResponse statusCode] == 429) {
NSLog(@"Rate limit reached");
return;
}
// Check if there was an error
if (error) {
NSLog(@"Error: %@", error.localizedDescription);
return;
}
// Check if there is some response data
if (responseData) {
NSError *error = nil;
NSArray *TWData = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseData options:NSJSONReadingMutableLeaves error:&error];
// Filter the preferred data
NSString *screen_name = [(NSDictionary *)TWData objectForKey:@"screen_name"];
NSString *name = [(NSDictionary *)TWData objectForKey:@"name"];
int followers = [[(NSDictionary *)TWData objectForKey:@"followers_count"] integerValue];
int following = [[(NSDictionary *)TWData objectForKey:@"friends_count"] integerValue];
}
});
}];
}
} else {
NSLog(@"No access granted");
}
}];
}
To get list of followers, change the URL
you are requesting to:
https://api.twitter.com/1.1/followers/list.json
It returns a cursored collection of user objects for users following the specified user.
To get list of the users you follow, change the URL
you are requesting to:
https://api.twitter.com/1.1/friends/list.json
It returns a cursored collection of user objects for every user the specified user is following (otherwise known as their "friends").
I used your code to test it and it works. Based on REST API v1.1 Resources
