Followers: GET /user/{userId}/followers

Docs

Followers

Accounts that follow a user, newest first.

GET/user/{userId}/followers

Parameters

userIdpath · string · required
Numeric user ID (digits only, up to 30). To pass a handle instead, use -1 here and set username.
usernamequery · string · optional
Handle, with or without @. When set, it is used instead of userId: the API looks up the ID first, which makes the call a little slower. Still one billed call.
countquery · integer · optional · default 20
Number of items to ask X for. Sent to X as is; X treats it as a hint and decides how many it returns (follower and following pages often hold 50 to 70 users for count=20). A value that is not a number falls back to 20.
cursorquery · string · optional
Bottom cursor from the previous page. Leave it out for the first page. See Pagination.
