As titled, I try to crawl more accounts that might be important for me to follow.
Currently, I can only find an API getting all followers of a certain account.
So I have to compare these followers with all accounts I am following in order to meet my requirement?
Hope there would be a better solution.

Is there a way that I can use my personal Facebook account to post in multiple groups that I am a member of? I just want to automate posting the same message in multiple groups using the Facebook graph api. I've been reading the documentation and all I am seeing is that you've to be an admin to post in a group. Do anyone have a workaround this?
I know you must be thinking that its impossible or its been asked already.
But I have 2 queries. The first is that by using Twitter API, using an access token of my own profile, can I get all (more than 100) the retweets of my own tweet? Not someone else's, as all previous questions at stackoverflow have been asked.
Because there's a difference in private and public tweet and getting data related to it.
Secondly, if we cannot get more than 100 retweets, then how does this app Pickaw (formerly Twrench) https://pickaw.com/en gets all the retweets even if they're more than 500 and the corresponding data?
Any ideas?
The Twitter API only provides access to up to 100 Retweeters (IDs for users that RT'd a Tweet), regardless of whether this is your owned Tweet, or another one.
As for a specific app, it is only possible to speculate, unless the source code was Open Source and available. I would suggest there are two ways to get all the Retweets:
pay for premium or enterprise search access, and use the advanced PowerTrack rules to find Retweets of a specific Tweet ID;
use the Account Activity API webhooks to track whenever a user's Tweet is Retweeted. Not that this would only work in a real-time tracking case; you wouldn't be able to check historical Tweets.
I have a website that displays the number of Twitter followers, Facebook fans, and LinkedIn connections on each individual account of mine. My problem is with Google+ – I can't seem to find in their API how I can retrieve this information. I want to retrieve/display the number of people who have me on their circles. Is there a way to do this?
Currently the only way to show the number of followers you have on Google+ is to use the badge: https://developers.google.com/+/web/badge/
The API currently only lets you call people.list() to show the number of people you are following.
on the documentation page, https://developer.foursquare.com/overview/venues, it says that
The Venues Platform lets developers use foursquare as their location
layer. Applications can search our database and find information
including tips, photos, check-in counts, and here now. Searches can be
done near a point or through a whole city, and they can be restricted
to trending or recommended places. The platform offers all of this
without requiring end user authentication and is available at high
rate limits.
however, when i send request like:
https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/4ad7a112f964a520050d21e3/herenow?client_id=myclientid&client_secret=myclientsecret&v=20120119
i got this:
{"meta":{"code":200},"response":{"hereNow":{"count":16,"items":[]}}}
is there anything i need to do, such as register as a venue platform developer, to get the list of people who are here? thanks!
You cannot get the users information without authenticating [ :( ]
Check out the documentation at the herenow endpoint page.
Specifically the first line:
Provides a count of how many people are at a given venue. If the request is user authenticated, also returns a list of the users there, friends-first.
I want to know how many followers my followers have (so it's recursively).
The Problem is obviously the API limit.
I read out my follower ids with http://api.twitter.com/1/followers/ids.json?screen_name=username
I request http://twitter.com/users/show.xml?user_id=the_id, but if I got many followers, I quickly get blocked by API limitations.
Is there a way to bypass this? For example, would this work for Twitter users with more than 6000 (or even infinite?) followers, if I ask to authenticate with their twitter account? Or is there another API call which may perform more requests?
If you use statuses/followers for your self, and page thru the results.
http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/statuses/followers
http://twitapi.com/explore/statuses-followers/
This will give you information on 100 followers per api call. In that result amongst other things is each followers, follower and following count.
6000 will only take 60 calls.
As this needs to be processed while authenticated you will also get 300 api calls per user.
Good luck.
There is currently no way to combine multiple API calls to Twitter into one, like Facebook allows you to.
So there probably is no way to do this efficiently, you just have to spread out the calls over multiple hours.
