Get a user’s follower IDs in bulk — lightweight, IDs only, no profile metadata. Designed for large-scale follower-graph collection where you join IDs against your own data warehouse. Up to 5,000 IDs per call. Pass either userName or userId. Use cursor from the previous response (next_cursor) to paginate.

Tiered pricing (per ID returned)

Credits ↔ USD: 100,000 credits = $1.00 (1 credit ≈$ 0.00001)

Returned IDs per call	Price	USD equivalent	Best for
4,000 - 5,000	0.45 credits / ID	$0.0045 / 1k IDs ($ 4.50 per million)	Bulk graph collection (recommended)
200 - 3,999	1 credit / ID	$0.01 / 1k IDs	Medium-batch fetch
50 - 199	2 credits / ID	$0.02 / 1k IDs	New-follower monitoring / frequent polling

💡 Concrete examples at the bulk tier:

Pull a user’s 1 million followers for $4.50
Pull 100,000 followers for just $0.45
Pull a celebrity’s 10 million follower graph for $45

Minimum charge: 100 credits ($0.001) per call (50 IDs × 2 credits, the smallest page size).

When to use this vs `/twitter/user/followers`

This endpoint: returns IDs only, dramatically cheaper, up to 5,000 per call. Use for follower-ID collection at scale.
/twitter/user/followers: returns full follower profiles (name, bio, avatar, etc.), 200 max per call, $0.01 / 1k followers at max page. Use when you need profile data.

You can also combine: pull IDs cheaply here, then hydrate the IDs you care about via /twitter/user/batch_info_by_ids.
