Use the list to broaden a reading trail

When researching a specialist subject, you can inspect whom a known account follows by supplying screen_name. Choose candidates around your own question rather than assuming every followed account is useful. The list records a following relationship; it does not rank reliability or establish collaboration, personal acquaintance, or agreement with every opinion.

Evaluate each newly discovered source independently

Continue with cursor and inspect candidates’ public work. A hypothetical science communicator may follow journalists, researchers, and peers. Read what each actually publishes instead of assigning everyone an expert label. People follow accounts for work, observation, and many other reasons that the relationship itself cannot explain.

Add a reason to each reading recommendation

Your source sheet could contain a link, relevant subject, specific work worth reading, and background still to verify. Base the recommendation on material you inspected, not an identity or private contact guessed from a nickname. A partial retrieval is not a complete relationship network, and following status can change. The result is an index of public sources to investigate further, not a map of trust between people. Any factual claim you later cite still needs its own supporting source checked.

Run the Python example

Install requests and set TRMESH_API_TOKEN in your environment. Replace the sample identifiers with the public object you intend to inspect. Example IDs may no longer be available.

import os
import requests

# Read your own developer key from the server environment.
url = "https://api.trmesh.com/openapi/api/v1/twitter/web/fetch_user_followings"
params = {
    "screen_name": "elonmusk"
}
response = requests.get(
    url, params=params, timeout=30,
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['TRMESH_API_TOKEN']}"},
)
response.raise_for_status()
payload = response.json()
print(payload)  # Inspect the actual response before mapping fields
