GET on Twitter's /user/show/ returning Error:400 and Error:404 (AJAX)

Im making an ajax call that looks like this:

$.ajax({
    type:"GET",
    dataType: "jsonp",
    url:"https://api.twitter.com/1.1/users/show.json?user_id="+twitterId,
    contentType:"application/json",
    success:apiSuccessCallback,
    error:apiFailCallback
});

and im including jsonp as a workaround to cross-domain issues. However, I am getting the following errors:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

AND

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 (Bad Request)

If you're curious my success is a simple alert statement and my error is the same.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I would try including the suppress_response_codes https://dev.twitter.com/docs/error-codes-responses

$.ajax({
   type:"GET",
   dataType: "jsonp",
  data: {
      suppress_response_codes: true
     },
   url:"https://api.twitter.com/1.1/users/show.json?user_id="+twitterId,
   contentType:"application/json",
   success:apiSuccessCallback,
  error:apiFailCallback
});

From the documentation—

If this parameter is present, all responses will be returned with a 200 OK status code - even errors. This parameter exists to accommodate Flash and JavaScript applications running in browsers that intercept all non-200 responses.
