url problem with json data

Question

For the API script of followcost.com. It is given that for using the follow cost API follow cost has a simple JSON API.

Send a GET request to followcost.com using the Twitter user name:

GET /lof.json

The server responds (formated for clarity):

200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

{"milliscobles_all_time":141.93,
 "average_tweets_per_day":3.01034,
 "username":"lof",
 "twitter_created_at":"2008/01/24 11:21:43 -0600",
 "at_reply_index":55.0,
 "milliscobles_recently":147.92,
 "average_tweets_per_day_recently":3.13738,
 "statuses_count":1165,
 "golden_index":3.0,
   "profile_image_url":"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/twitter_production\/profile_images\/50450572\/75756154_N00_normal.jpg"}

But when I use the URL www.followcost.com/GET/Anand_Dasgupta.json or www.followcost.com/api/GET/Anand_Dasgupta.json it gives twitter user doesnt exist error ... but I obviously have a twitter ID.

So what is the URL that I need to use?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thank You

Anand

Answer 1

How about

http://followcost.com/Anand_Dasgupta.json

Answer 2

yes, thats what it say in the api

'/lof.json' This means relative to site host name i.e http://followcost.com

so you can use

http://followcost.com/Anand_Dasgupta.json
