Get followers and follows of an actor

Usage

get_followers(
  actor,
  limit = 25L,
  cursor = NULL,
  parse = TRUE,
  verbose = NULL,
  .token = NULL
)

get_follows(
  actor,
  limit = 25L,
  cursor = NULL,
  parse = TRUE,
  verbose = NULL,
  .token = NULL
)

Arguments

actor: user handle to look up followers for.
limit: Maximum number of records to return. For queries with more than 100 results, pagination is used automatically (one request per 100 results). The function stops when the limit is reached, but you will usually get a few items more than requested.
cursor: Cursor for pagination (to pick up an old search).
parse: Parse the results or return the original nested object sent by the server.
verbose: Whether to print status messages to the Console (TRUE/FALSE). Package default (when NULL) is to have status messages. Can be changed with Sys.setenv(ATR_VERBOSE = FALSE).
.token: If you manage your own tokens, you can supply it here. Usually NULL is OK and will automatically load or guide you to generate a token.

Value

a data frame (or nested list) of found actors.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
get_followers("benguinaudeau.bsky.social")

# get first page of results
follows_df <- get_follows("favstats.bsky.social", limit = 25L)

# continue same search, starting from the next match
follows_df2 <- get_follows("favstats.bsky.social", limit = 25L,
                           cursor = attr(follows_df, "last_cursor"))
} # }
