## README

### X / Twitter Following API

List the accounts a public X (Twitter) account follows by username with cursor pagination. Limit is a per-page maximum; follow the response's nextCursor for more.

#### Request

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/api/twitter/following" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SANDBASE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"limit": 200, "username": "nasa"}'
```

The result is returned in `outputs[0].data`. A lookup that finds nothing still succeeds and returns `found: false`.

#### Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `username` | string | Yes | The X (Twitter) username to fetch the following list for, without the @ prefix (e.g. elonmusk). |
| `cursor` | string | No | Opaque pagination cursor from a previous response's nextCursor. Omit for the first page; pass it to fetch the next page of followed accounts. |
| `limit` | integer | No | Accepted but does not change the page: every call returns one full native page of followed accounts (about 50), never trimmed, so follow nextCursor to continue exactly where this response ended. Default `200`. |
| `requireFields` | array | No | 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 `location`, and it is served only by a source that returns every one o |

#### Pricing

Billed at the actual cost of each call, usually $0.00045 per request. A call can cost more when the first data source fails and another one answers. Failed calls are not charged. Lookups that find nothing and searches with no results are billed at their actual cost, which is often lower and can be $0.
