Audience Summary GET
Sample up to 100 of an account's followers, or of a tweet's retweeters, read each sampled account's About object, and return a country histogram of account_based_in with each country's share of the accounts whose country is known. The response also counts how many sampled accounts show each of seven documented profile signals and how many show three or more (likely_bot_count), a heuristic over profile fields rather than a verdict on any account. Cost: $0.0008 per billed item.
User Followers GET
Fetch a user's followers, cursor-paginated. Returns full user objects. For large accounts, page with next_cursor until the users array comes back empty (the follower graph keeps returning a non-null cursor even on the final page). Cost: $0.0008 per call.
