Twitter API / Following someone

Question

Is that possible that website users follows our vendors twitter account using API on our web? I want to add vendors twitter follow button on our vendor page and if users click the button on our web, users can follow their vendors twitter account.

Answer 1

You will need to use Twitter Web Intents

The easiest way to do this is to write a link like https://twitter.com/intent/follow?screen_name=edent

If you click on that, you'll be prompted to follow me. Just change edent to the name of the Twitter account you want people to follow.

Answer 2

You can generate an HTML snippet to add a Follow button to a website via Twitter Publish.
