I have a list of 1,000,000+ numeric Twitter user IDs and need to convert those IDs into Twitter usernames and also get the bio/description for each username and export the whole thing into a file. \r\n\r\nBased on this info here: \r\n[login to view URL]\r\nit looks like the Twitter API allows up to up to 100 users per request and 180 requests per 15-min window. So, I guess the output speed probably will be around 72,000 usernames per hour.\r\n\r\nI\'m guessing that for someone with basic programming skills and a familiarity with the Twitter API it shouldn\'t take more than 20-30 minutes to get the whole thing done. Or maybe you already have a similar tool? You can use any programming language for this. It just needs to work. Input: a list (.txt) with numeric Twitter IDs. Output: a .csv file where one column is a Twitter username and the other column is the bio/description that belongs to that username. Very simple. \r\n\r\nA possible alternative would be: \r\nA script that scrapes the followers (i.e. usernames with their corresponding bio/description) of a particular Twitter user. In this case, I wouldn\'t need converting IDs.\r\n\r\nSo, it\'s a quick and easy way for you to earn a 5-star rating and a positive review.
