Retrieve user's following

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.

Endpoint

GET https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/friends/list?user_id=...

Endpoint parameters

Name	Description	Example
user_id (Required)	The numeric ID of the desired user.	1625802236571033602

Common Issues and Best Practices

• In languages where theuser_id value exceeds the default Integer type limit (e.g., Node.js), store user_id as a string. Use the id_str property returned by the API for these values
