Question about twitter api

Question

I want to create a simple Twitter application, but I have a problem. I want to show the user information about his followers, but this requires one API request to get a list of all user IDs following him, and then many additional API requests to get the user information corresponding to the user IDs that were just fetched. Is it possible to get user info for many followers in one request?

Answer 1

Use the Followers method: http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/followers.xml ( Twitter API Documenation )

It returns detailed information about each follower.
