Follower - GitHub-Dokumentation

Informationen zur Follower-API

Viele der Ressourcen für diese API bieten eine Tastenkombination zum Abrufen von Informationen zu den aktuell authentifizierten Benutzerinnen. Wenn eine Anforderungs-URL keinen {username}-Parameter enthält, ist die Antwort für die angemeldete Benutzerin bzw. den angemeldeten Benutzer bestimmt (Übergeben von Authentifizierungsinformationen mit der Anforderung erforderlich). Zusätzliche private Informationen (z. B. ob die zweistufige Authentifizierung für einen Benutzer*in aktiviert ist) sind enthalten, wenn die Authentifizierung über den grundlegenden Authentifizierungsvorgang oder OAuth mit dem user-Bereich erfolgt.
