How do I find my user ID?
2009-11-23T12:19:11-08:00
<h2><strong>What is a user ID?</strong><br /></h2>
<p>A user ID is the number Twitter assigns to a profile. Instead of using your name or email address to identify you, we assign you a user ID instead. This way, you can change any of your personal information and we still know who you are. Twitter does all kinds of things behind the scenes with user IDs, such as relaying statuses, formatting rss feeds, and putting your contacts in
order. You're not required to know your user ID most of the time, but some third party applications may require it.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: normal; ">
<h2 style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 11px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 2px; font-weight: bold; color: #444444; "><strong style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">How do I find my user ID?</strong></h2>
</span></p>
<p>Your user ID can be found in several ways:</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><strong style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">Click the rss icon</strong> in the right end of your browser to show your feed address in a feed reader , and note the number at the end of the rss feed </span><br /></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><strong style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">Hover over the rss button</strong> on your home, profile, or replies page to show the feed address at the bottom of your browser; your user ID is the number before ".rss"</span><br /></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><strong>Click</strong> <span style="font-weight: bold; ">the</span> <strong>rss box </strong> at the bottom of your home, profile, or replies page and look for the number at the end of
the URL that pops up in your browser; it's the number before ".rss"</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; "><img src="/attachments/141056" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; " border="0" alt="Preview-1.jpg" /></div>
<p>If you have the rss feed address of any Twitter page, you can always find the user ID, since it is always the number at the end of the link, just before the ".rss" suffix. For example, in this rss feed:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px; "><a href="http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline/15.rss"><span style="font-weight: bold;">http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline/</span><span style="background-color: #999999;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">15</span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">.rss</span></a><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></p>
<p>the user ID is the number at the end, 15.</p>
