Is there a way to convert Twitter ID to Username or vice versa? I would like to use PHP or Javascript for this. I prefer using Javascript because it is lighter and load faster. Can any one shoot me a guide?

Thanks in advance.

I know that there are several websites that let you do this on them for free.

There is some code on StackOverflow but I am not sure how much help it can give you but might be worth a look.

@Gecko I checked the link and some similar posts on Google, they do don't help me to build what I expected.

All I need is a input box on the left column which allows user to type an Twitter username/Twitter Id and get the result on the right column with corresponding Twitter Id / username.

I am trying to do it by myself.

I see. Well I really wouldn't know how to do that myself but hopefully someone will ring-in and help you out with the code you need.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Hi

I want to try to convert from Twitter username to Twitter ID

For example
Twitter URL of this forum

Code: 
https://twitter.com/webdothosting
When I type into an input box

Code: 
@webdothosting or webdothosting
it should display this Twitter ID: 865666956

or vice versa

when I type 865666956 into an input box

It should give me this result

Code: 
@webdothosting
Thanks

This is doable, I check out this already. You can't write this in Javascript due to the limitation of Ajax and XMLHttpRequest(). They can't patch to remote server without special permission. Therefore accessing remote API can only be done in Perl,Python, Php and more but just not JavaScript.

I will write this later and give a post on this. It is a bit complicated to explain but I will start a new threat on this. I probably won't explain but will only give a working script and how to use it.

Cool, I am looking forward to reading your thread and discussing with you on this.
I'm also trying to do this with PHP and Javascript and hope it will be done soon.

Hello FerdieQO,

Yes I got a working version of the script and thank you for the idea. It will do what you want it to do. I started a new thread on that already. Please do test it out and tell me how you think about it or how it's can be extend in features. What I wrote was also a framework that you can connect to twitter not just get the userId or userName. However I for now will just leave the feature to getting the userId or userName for now.
