# Followers API 4 endpoints on 4 platforms return the same Account object. The accounts that follow an account. A call costs from $0.0004 to $0.0200, each endpoint at its own price; a failed call is free. ## Followers on each platform | Platform | Endpoint | Path | A page | Returns | Price | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Weibo | [Weibo user followers](https://dataxapi.com/apis/weibo/users/followers/list.md) | `GET /v1/weibo/users/followers/list` | 20 | Account list | $0.0020 / call | | X (Twitter) | [X user followers](https://dataxapi.com/apis/x/users/followers/list.md) | `GET /v1/x/users/followers/list` | 200 | Account list | $0.0001 / item | | Zhihu | [Zhihu user followers](https://dataxapi.com/apis/zhihu/users/followers/list.md) | `GET /v1/zhihu/users/followers/list` | 20 | Account list | $0.0020 / call | | TikTok | [TikTok user followers](https://dataxapi.com/apis/tiktok/users/followers/list.md) | `GET /v1/tiktok/users/followers/list` | 50 | Account list | $0.0020 / call | Prices are the prices in force. A call that fails, or whose result is uncertain, costs nothing. ## The Account object Every endpoint above returns these fields, with the same names and types. | Field | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `id` | text | ID | | `username` | text | Handle | | `name` | text | Display name | | `url` | link | Link to the profile | | `bio` | text | Bio | | `avatar_url` | link | Avatar | | `verified` | yes/no | Whether the account is verified | | `created_at` | time | When the account was created | | `metrics.followers` | integer | Followers | | `metrics.following` | integer | Following | | `metrics.posts` | integer | Posts published | [The object's own page →](https://dataxapi.com/docs/objects/account/) ### Which platform fills which field A field an endpoint cannot give is listed in `meta.unavailable` on every answer, so a gap is never a surprise. | Platform | `username` | `verified` | `created_at` | `metrics.following` | `metrics.posts` | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Weibo | not available | available | available | available | available | | X (Twitter) | available | not available | available | available | available | | Zhihu | available | not available | not available | not available | not available | | TikTok | available | not available | available | available | available | ## The same call on two platforms Same parameter names, same paging, same answer. Only the path changes. ```bash # Weibo curl -G "https://api.dataxapi.com/v1/weibo/users/followers/list" \ --data-urlencode "id=2803301701" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $DATAXAPI_API_KEY" # X (Twitter): one word changes curl -G "https://api.dataxapi.com/v1/x/users/followers/list" \ --data-urlencode "username=NASA" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $DATAXAPI_API_KEY" ``` ### 200 · application/json Weibo user followers: From a response recorded 2026-10-12 21:49 UTC. Names, text and IDs are examples, and so are the links: none is the recorded one (the page shows no one's personal data); the figures are as recorded. Long lists are cut. The request ID, cursor and balance are made up. ```jsonc { "code": "ok", "request_id": "558159e6-d945-4964-8304-0f136527d0f6", "data": { "items": [ { "id": "7267944764", "name": "一颗柠檬糖", "url": "https://weibo.com/u/7267944764", "bio": null, "avatar_url": "https://tvax1.sinaimg.cn/crop.0.0.512.512.180/PBobjxTJltK1jFC8WGxKzDYB.jpg", "verified": false, "created_at": "2022-05-01T12:18:26.000Z", "metrics": { "followers": 4474, "following": 7846, "posts": 62114 } }, // … 19 more ] }, "page": { "next_cursor": "c1.RnmB0A_XvQ_Y1Q7JoWGX7NKt4UBqJPuXtyPnyWKm", "cursor_expires_at": "2026-10-12T22:49:56.000Z", "has_more": true, "returned": 20 }, "warnings": [], "meta": { "capability": "weibo.users.followers.list", "result_status": "complete", "fetched_at": "2026-10-12T21:49:56.000Z", "cached": false, "replayed": false, "unavailable": { "username": "platform" }, "billing": { "amount": "0.002", "currency": "USD", "balance_after": "9.998" } } } ``` ## What comes back - [The Account object](https://dataxapi.com/docs/objects/account/): Fields 11, Endpoints that return it 36, Platforms 17 ## Questions about the Followers API ### How much does it cost? $0.0020 a call on Weibo, Zhihu, TikTok; $0.0001 per item returned on X (Twitter). You are charged when data comes back; a failed call costs nothing. No subscription, no monthly minimum. ### How do I get every page? Pass `page.next_cursor` back as `cursor` until `page.has_more` is false. Each page is one call at the same price. ### Does every platform fill every field? No. 5 of the 11 fields are missing on at least one platform; the table on this page says which. A field an endpoint cannot give is named in `meta.unavailable` on every answer, never filled with a guess. ### Do I need an account on the platform? No. One DataXAPI key reads all 4 platforms. No platform account and no cookie. ## Other data types [Comment replies API](https://dataxapi.com/roles/comments-replies-list/), [Hashtag posts API](https://dataxapi.com/roles/topics-posts-list/), [Trending topics API](https://dataxapi.com/roles/trends-list/), [Account profile API](https://dataxapi.com/roles/accounts-get/), [Account posts API](https://dataxapi.com/roles/accounts-posts-list/), [Comments API](https://dataxapi.com/roles/posts-comments-list/), [Post detail API](https://dataxapi.com/roles/posts-get/), [Post search API](https://dataxapi.com/roles/posts-search/), [Trending posts API](https://dataxapi.com/roles/posts-trending/), [Account search API](https://dataxapi.com/roles/accounts-search/), [Post metrics API](https://dataxapi.com/roles/posts-metrics/), [Community posts API](https://dataxapi.com/roles/communities-posts-list/), [Ad detail API](https://dataxapi.com/roles/ads-get/), [Advertiser ads API](https://dataxapi.com/roles/advertisers-ads-list/), [Advertiser search API](https://dataxapi.com/roles/advertisers-search/), [Ad library search API](https://dataxapi.com/roles/ads-search/), [Video transcript API](https://dataxapi.com/roles/transcripts-get/), [Community profile API](https://dataxapi.com/roles/communities-get/), [Product detail API](https://dataxapi.com/roles/products-get/), [Product reviews API](https://dataxapi.com/roles/products-reviews-list/), [Product search API](https://dataxapi.com/roles/products-search/), [Creator search API](https://dataxapi.com/roles/creators-search/), [Creator profile API](https://dataxapi.com/roles/creators-get/), [Creator audience API](https://dataxapi.com/roles/creators-audience-get/), [Creator metrics API](https://dataxapi.com/roles/creators-metrics/), [Creator posts API](https://dataxapi.com/roles/creators-posts-list/), [All 21 platforms →](https://dataxapi.com/apis/) --- Last checked 2026-10-21 11:10 UTC.
