Hi,

How can I find out when a followed started following me using the API?

Thanks

Hi Matt,

This information isn't made available through the REST API but, if you have enabled follower notification emails you could use those to find out when a user followed you.

To keep informed of follows you can either enabled follower emails or open a Userstreams connection. With Userstreams we send a follow event whenever another user follows you.

Best,
