Module user 

Structs and methods for pulling user information from Twitter.

Everything in here acts on users in some way, whether looking up user information, finding the relations between two users, or actions like following or blocking a user.

Types

• UserID: used as a generic input to many functions, this enum allows you to refer to a user by a numeric ID or by their screen name.
• Relationship/RelationSource/RelationTarget: returned by relation, these types (Relationship contains the other two) show the ways two accounts relate to each other.
• RelationLookup/Connection: returned as part of a collection by relation_lookup, these types (RelationLookup contains a Vec<Connection>) shows the ways the authenticated user relates to a specific account.
• TwitterUser/UserEntities/UserEntityDetail: returned by many functions in this module, these types (TwitterUser contains the other two) describe the content of a user’s profile, and a handful of settings relating to how their profile is displayed.
• UserSearch: returned by search, this is a stream of search results.

Functions

User actions

These functions perform actions to the user’s account. Their use requires that your application request write access to authenticated accounts.

• block/report_spam/unblock
• follow/unfollow/update_follow
• mute/unmute

Direct lookup

These functions return single users, or groups of users without having to iterate over the results.

• show
• lookup/lookup_ids/lookup_names
• friends_no_retweets
• relation/relation_lookup

Cursored lookup

These functions imply that they can return more entries than Twitter is willing to return at once, so they’re delivered in pages. This library takes those paginated results and wraps a stream around them that loads the pages as-needed.

• search
• friends_of/friends_ids
• followers_of/followers_ids
• blocks/blocks_ids
• mutes/mutes_ids
• incoming_requests/outgoing_requests
