Hello

I am trying to unfollow accounts given their id.

First step i get all the people that I follow:

function getFriends(){
    return new Promise( (resolve,reject) => {
    T.get('friends/ids', (err,data) => {
        if(err){ reject(err); }
        else{ resolve(data.ids);}
    });
    }).then(result => result);
}

where T is my Twit object. And this part works perfectly.

Then I try to unfollow some of these ids using this method, after the resolution of the promise, of course:

function kill(friend_id){
    T.post('friendships/destroy', {id: friend_id},
       (err,data) => {
           if(err){  console.log(err.message + " Id: " + friend_id); }
           else{ console.log("unfollowed "+ data.screen_name); }
       });
}

The strangest part is: it worked for some of the id's that i have tried and did not for others. This is the error message i get:

I ran into something similar, where the user IDs were getting mangled in the requests when they were sent as ints/numbers: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47188449/json-max-int-number/47188576.

You can see the similar issue in your error logs, where two zeroes 00 are being appended to your IDs.

~The solution was to turn the IDs into strings when sending the requests (String(friend_id) or ''+friend_id), probably when you store them from the friends/ids call so you're always working with IDs as strings in your code.~ (See reply below for better way using stringify_ids when fetching from friends/ids)

Actually, you can just request that all IDs are stringified when you request them like so:

  twit.get('friends/ids', {
    stringify_ids: true
  })

viglioni commented 5 years ago

twit.get('friends/ids', {
    stringify_ids: true
  })

This worked just fine!!! Thank you!

I am closing this issue :)
