Updated

Description

List the accounts an X user follows, page by page, with bios, follower counts and DM availability. Costs 3 credits per page of about 20. Tip: following lists reveal the tools and people an account pays attention to, useful for competitor research.

Parameters

handle path, string, required
Handle with or without @, or a profile URL. 1-15 characters.
limit query, integer
Max rows to return (1-100). One X page holds about 20 rows, so values above 20 still return one page. Range 1 to 100. Default 20.
cursor query, string
Opaque cursor from the previous response's page.nextCursor. Length 1 to 2048.
