How do I use the Twitter API to approve a follower request for a protected account?
POST “friendships/create” does not work, I speculated how this can be done.

There is no way to do this via the API, you need to do so via the Twitter apps or website.

is this information still accurate?, i mean, I know there are some sites/webapps currently doing this, here an example: premosocial.com.

I just wonder how come they do it.

thanks,

Yes this is accurate. I can only imagine that they have a human clicking buttons on follow requests.
