According to API v2 doc,
This method can be used to retrieve the publicly exposed list of blogs that a blog follows, in order from most recently-followed to first.
But this end point never works. It always give a result like this:
{"meta":{"status":404,"msg":"Not Found"},"response":[],"errors":[{"title":"Not Found","detail":"It did not work"}]}
As far as I understand, if user turns on 'sharing following list', this list is available through public webpage (
tumblr.com/followed/by/{blogname}). So, there's no reason to be blocked in api. Tumblr team, is it a bug or policy?
Additionally, please include the field 'public following blogs count' in blog info end point.
