- dangrossman 17y agoLike I said, it doesn't look at the account's tweets, just its profile. That account has a good follower/following balance, it's not brand new, it hasn't sent a ton of tweets in a short time, it has a profile image... basically it looks safe. Yes feedback is definitely needed to improve it! And to identify spam for other users with the same followers.
- arikfr 17y agoI guess that you use users/show endpoint to get the user's profile. Instead you can ask for each user's timeline - it is still 1 API call, you still get their profile data, but you also get their tweets. The only downside is that the request might take longer. Btw, beware that some spam accounts use others tweets to look legit. I can send you some for example, if you're interested.
