Re: [twitter-dev] About getting the number of my friends

Hey Vlad,

This is a known issue. The Followers/Following counters returned in the User object are sometimes inaccurate (bigger than they should). If you try users/show on your account ("showUser" method with the lib you use), you'll notice your friends_count will also be 30 instead of 28.

Cf this support ticket: http://t.co/rS3XdB5

Hi. I am using Twitter4J to develop my app but i get an error:

twitter.getFriendsIDs(-1L); is giving me 28 friends when I have 30? Is
it a bug or am I missing something?

When I open twitter.com and log in I get 30 friends not 28.

twitter.getFriendsIDs(-1L) is an api function in the Twitter4J api
library by Yusuke Yamamoto.

He says that the problem isnt in the api library so that's why I am
posting this here.

thanks, vlad
