Usage

lookup_users(users, parse = TRUE, token = NULL)

Arguments

users	User id or screen name of target user.
parse	Logical, indicating whether or not to parse return object into data frame(s).
token	OAuth token. By default token = NULL fetches a non-exhausted token from an environment variable. Find instructions on how to create tokens and setup an environment variable in the tokens vignette (in r, send ?tokens to console).

Value
