How to paginate followers on Lamadava saas?

[dstik]

I am trying to get a list of all users that a given user_id is following. If they have more than 1000 following users, how do I use /v1/user/following or /v1/user/following/chunk to find more than the first 200 users?

I don't get a cursor in the response, nor do I see a parameter to use a cursor. I tried to use the max_id parameter in the chunk API but maybe I don't understand how it is expected to be used.

Also, specifying 2000 as the amount in /v1/user/following will return around 200-300 unique users and the remaining 1700-1800 are duplicates.

Can you please help me understand how to get all 1500 unique following users via the Lamadava API?

@dstik the cursor is given by the last result in the response

Copy and paste it to get the next piece of data

I am not getting a cursor as the last item in the array, what I receive looks like a stringified count of the returned elements. It seems to always return "200" and I can't use that as the max_id or cursor.

@adw0rd - I wonder if a bug was pushed to Lamadava recently to break the cursor returned and accidentally return the count of results instead?

And I think we can use the "200" as a cursor not a status code.

Seems Lamadava API doesn't use the max_id parameter properly, mine is working well.

@msk-psp Can you show your solution? Need more details

[msk-psp]

@adw0rd I just used the max_id same as before we paginate following / follow, nothing changed

Its actually same as Python version of code
