How to get twitter followers list with follower count greater than a value?

Question

Twitter API -> https://api.twitter.com/1.1/followers/list.json?cursor=-1&screen_name=dogecoin&skip_status=true&include_user_entities=true

returns list of followers and their entities but is there any way to get list of only those followers who have certain number follower threshold value?

I am trying to get list of followers for a particular user but of only those followers who have more than 50k followers.

Answer 1

There is no way to do this in the Twitter API, no.

Answer 2

With your target twitter account, you could :

• in a loop: get followers'ids with GET followers/ids (up to 5000 by each request).
• in another loop: get information for each id with GET users/lookup (up to 100 ids by request)
• And filter on users having followers_count >= 50k
