send follow request to protected user in twitter

102 Views Asked by At

I am using Tweepy to automatically send follow request to twitter users who have protected profile. But I get Not authorized exception while using api.create_friendship(uid) method. Is there any workaround for this problem?

No, there's no API method to enable you to do this. The requests have to be acknowledged via the Twitter website.
