POST blocks/create
Blocks the specified user from following the authenticating user. In addition the blocked user will not show in the authenticating users mentions or timeline (unless retweeted by another user). If a follow or friend relationship exists it is destroyed.
The URL pattern /version/block/create/:screen_name_or_user_id.format
is still accepted but not recommended. As a sequence of numbers is a valid screen name we recommend using the screen_name
or user_id
parameter instead.
