We have a situation with a private account with a very large number of follow requests. The owner of this account would like to, very selectively, allow followers, automatically using an external list. I’d like to automate this process.

It looks like using

https://api.twitter.com/1.1/friendships/incoming.json

I can get a list of all pending follow requests, but there is no way to approve or deny such requests.

I can see this question has been asked many times in the distant past. Is there a method for accomplishing this now that I’m missing? If there isn’t a public method for this, do you think it would be possible to open this functionality? It would be a game changer for managing accounts.

Thanks!

Hello,

Am new to the Twitter APIs myself and trying to accomplish something similar. I looked through the V2 endpoints but don’t see anything that looks like what would be needed there either. Did you ever find a solution?

TIA

AFAICT it is not possible with the Twitter API. It would be an excellent feature to add IMHO.
