Usage

get_account_followers(
  id,
  max_id,
  since_id,
  limit = 40L,
  token = NULL,
  parse = TRUE,
  retryonratelimit = TRUE,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

id

character, local ID of a user (this is not the username)

max_id

limit

integer, maximum number of results to return. Defaults to 40.

token

user bearer token (read from file by default)

parse

logical, if TRUE, the default, returns a tibble. Use FALSE to return the "raw" list corresponding to the JSON returned from the Mastodon API.

retryonratelimit

If TRUE, and a rate limit is exhausted, will wait until it refreshes. Most Mastodon rate limits refresh every 5 minutes. If FALSE, and the rate limit is exceeded, the function will terminate early with a warning; you'll still get back all results received up to that point.

verbose

logical whether to display messages

Value

tibble or list of followers

Details

this functions needs a user level auth token. If limit>40, automatic pagination is used. You may get more results than requested.
