I keep getting a 404 on the /influencer_of REST call. Are you guys sure you got the link right? Oddly, I get a 500 when I tried /influencers_of instead.

It means that the user probably doesn't have any influencers or influence by findings yet. I tried a few different users, and the ones that showed influceners on the website worked with this API

Adam, you're right, thanks. It didn't work for ericschmidt or barackobama, but ladygaga returned results.
