Please note
We recently released follows lookup, a set of Twitter API v2 endpoints that have similar functionality to this one. The new version is currently in development and serves adequate access for the majority of developers on our platform. While elevated levels of access are coming soon, developers in need of higher levels of access should continue to use this endpoint along with the Twitter API v2 version.
GET followers/list
Returns a cursored collection of user objects for users following the specified user.
At this time, results are ordered with the most recent following first — however, this ordering is subject to unannounced change and eventual consistency issues. Results are given in groups of 20 users and multiple "pages" of results can be navigated through using the next_cursor
value in subsequent requests. See Using cursors to navigate collections for more information.
