WARNING:

You are viewing an outdated version of our documentation. For the latest and most accurate information, please visit docs.socialdata.tools.

This endpoint returns an array of user profiles that the target profile (identified by user_id) is following. The profiles are returned in reverse chronological order, with the most recently followed profile appearing on the first page.
