What it returns

The earliest followers of one X (Twitter) account that are on record, oldest follow first, each with its running follower number and when it followed. For a new project these are the insiders and the first believers. For an account that was already large when recording began, "first" means the first follows on record: followerNumber says how many followers it had by then. Not scoped to any chain. A username no tracked account has answers 404.

Chains

This endpoint is not tied to a chain: it takes no chain in its request.
