How do I convert a Twitter User ID to a Twitter Username
- by codyvbrown
Hi I'm building an app in rails that needs to convert a twitter id into the twitter username. This is the code that pulls the id.
url = 'http://twitter.com/' + params[:username]
buffer = open(url, 'UserAgent' = 'irb').read
@vouched_user_twitter_id = buffer[/\d+(?=.rss)/]
How do I use that number to pull the username once i no longer have params.
Thanks!
