Request body
JSON, posted to this endpoint.
- usernamestring
nasa
The X (Twitter) username to fetch followers for, without the @ prefix (e.g. elonmusk).
- cursorstring
Opaque pagination cursor from a previous response's nextCursor. Omit for the first page; pass it to fetch the next page of followers.
- limitinteger
200
Per-page maximum number of followers to return (default 200). A native page holds up to 200 accounts, so a larger limit still returns at most one native page; follow the response's nextCursor for more.
- requireFieldsarray
Optional; omit it and routing is unchanged, with the cheapest source serving. Name the output fields this request must be able to return, for example `bio`, and it is served only by a source that returns every one of them. Fields you do not name are still returned whenever the serving source has them. This can raise your price: when the cheapest source cannot return a named field, a dearer source serves, and you are quoted and charged its price. A named field can still be absent on a profile that genuinely lacks it. Naming a combination that no single source returns together is refused as invalid input, with no charge. On a paginated walk it applies to the first page only; later pages stay with the source that page chose, at the price it was quoted.
