Accepts NASA, @NASA, a profile URL, or a numeric user_id.
Follower pages are cached for an hour.

console.log(data);The Twitter Followers API: an X follower scraper with full profiles
The YepAPI Twitter Followers API lists the followers of any public X account. Send a username to /v1/twitter/user-followers and get back followers as full profiles with bio, location, counts, and verification, plus a cursor for the next page, at $0.01 per call.
Because every follower arrives with their own counts and bio, you can analyze an audience without a second lookup per account.
What is a Twitter followers API?
A Twitter followers API returns the accounts that follow a given X user. YepAPI's version returns each follower as a User object (id, username, name, description, location, website, created_at, avatar, followers_count, following_count, tweet_count, verification, and more), so it doubles as a Twitter follower scraper that enriches as it goes.
Build audience analysis
Page through /v1/twitter/user-followers for an account, then group followers by location, bucket them by followers_count, and pull out verified accounts. Run it on competitors to find influencers inside their audience, and use the Twitter Following API to see who an account follows in return.
Twitter Followers API pricing: $0.01 per call
Every call costs a flat $0.01 and failed calls are free. There is no monthly tier to buy, no developer account to get approved, and no separate Twitter API key: one YepAPI key covers every endpoint. One page (around 20 followers by default, up to about 100 with count) is one call. Pages are cached for an hour.
Ordering and limits
Followers come back in the order X lists them. Very large accounts have millions of followers; plan how many pages you need before walking the whole list.
