Comment on A new and improved Twitter APIparentComments−pjc506yI was looking into doing something for my own use, and you can't even retrieve your own list of followers or blocked users in one go! You have to paginate it, each page is counted against the rate limit!−tehwebguy6yEverything non-streaming from Twitter has always been paginated, no? Same with all YouTube, probably FB too right?−duiker1016ySame with everything ever, some users have hundreds of thousands of followers, I'm not sure how you would do it without pagination.The limits are tight. It's true. But pagination is not the enemy.I think better scaling of the pricing tiers could help but Twitter probably doesn't care enough about small devs.
