Paginated list of an account's smart followers, filterable by category, tag or tag-category.

GET https://twitterscore.io/api/v1/get_followers

Returns the accounts in TwitterScore's monitored ("smart") set that currently follow the target account, one page at a time. Identify the target by username or twitter_id. Each row is a follower profile with its Twitter Score, follower count, tags, categories and subscribed_at (when TwitterScore first recorded the follow). Rows can be narrowed to followers that carry a given category (category_id), tag (tag_id) or whose tags belong to a given tag-category (tag_category_id); several filters combine with AND. Sorting is by Twitter Score (default), by follower count or by subscribed_at, descending unless sort=asc. Note the data key is top_followers (legacy name) and the page size is capped at 25. Only followers that are active, not suspended and on TwitterScore monitoring are counted; the raw X follower list is not exposed. The filter ids are passed straight to the database lookup, so a non-numeric value (e.g. tag_id=abc) is not rejected as a parameter error but surfaces as server_error ("Unexpected error [...]").

Required: one of username, twitter_id. Nested fields

top_followers[].twitter_id (string): Follower's X user id, as a string (ids exceed 2^53).
top_followers[].username (string): Follower's X handle.
top_followers[].name (string): Follower's display name.
top_followers[].description (string): Follower's X bio (may be empty string).
top_followers[].twitter_score (number): Follower's Twitter Score on the 0-1000 scale (stored as float).
top_followers[].followers_count (integer): Follower's own current X follower count.
top_followers[].profile_image (string): URL of the follower's avatar hosted by TwitterScore (ImageField .url), or null.
top_followers[].tags (array): Tags attached to the follower.
top_followers[].tags[].id (integer): Tag id.
top_followers[].tags[].name (string): Tag name.
top_followers[].categories (array): Account categories attached to the follower.
top_followers[].categories[].id (integer): Category id.
top_followers[].categories[].name (string): Category name.
top_followers[].subscribed_at (string): ISO 8601 UTC datetime with millisecond precision and Z suffix (e.g. 2023-04-18T09:12:44.318Z; Django JSON encoder) when TwitterScore first recorded this follow. Not the real follow date on X.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
`username`	string	no		X handle of the target account (with or without @, trailing slash and surrounding whitespace tolerated). Resolved against current username, then slug, then previous usernames. Either `username` or `twitter_id` is required.
`twitter_id`	integer	no		Numeric X user id of the target account. Looked up first when both are given; if no account has this id the lookup falls back to `username`.
`page`	integer	no	`1`	1-based page number. Non-numeric, 0 or negative falls back to 1; a page past the last one returns an empty list.
`size`	integer	no	`10`	Rows per page. Values above 25 are clamped to 25; 0 or negative becomes 1; non-numeric falls back to 10.
`by`	string (`score`, `followers`, `subscribed_at`)	no	`score`	Sort column. `score` = follower's Twitter Score, `followers` = follower's own follower count, `subscribed_at` = when TwitterScore first saw the follow. Any other value returns success=false with message "Sorting is only possible by [followers\|score\|subscribed_at]".
`sort`	string (`asc`, `desc`, `ascending`, `descending`)	no	`desc`	Sort direction. `asc`/`ascending` (case-insensitive) for ascending; anything else is descending.
`category_id`	integer	no		Keep only followers that have this account category (id from get_categories). Non-numeric value → server_error.
`tag_id`	integer	no		Keep only followers that carry this tag (id from get_tags). Non-numeric value → server_error.
`tag_category_id`	integer	no		Keep only followers that carry at least one tag belonging to this tag-category. Non-numeric value → server_error.

At least one of username, twitter_id is required.
