Since twitter dev removed the API for accessing user followers and following, developers have found it difficult to obtain this data. Here, I'm sharing my reverse engineering solution. If it's helpful to you, please let me know.

## Installation

```

go get -u github.com/amovane/reX

```

## Login

```golang

uname := os.Getenv("USER_NAME")

upwd := os.Getenv("PASSWORD")

x := reX.New()

wd, _ := os.Getwd()

cookiesPath := fmt.Sprintf("%s/cookies.json", wd)

err := x.SetCookies(cookiesPath)

if err != nil || !x.IsLoggedIn() {

    println("You must login first")

    x.Login(uname, upwd)

    x.SaveCookies(cookiesPath)

}

```

## Followings

```golang

var cursor *string

var tweets []reX.UserResults

for {

    tweets, cursor, err = x.GetFollowingsByScreenName("shareverse_", cursor)

    for _, tweet := range tweets {

        println(tweet.Result.Legacy.ScreenName)

    }

    if cursor == nil || err != nil {

        break

    }

}

```

## Followers

```golang

var cursor *string

var tweets []reX.UserResults

for {

    tweets, cursor, err = x.GetFollowerssByScreenName("shareverse_", cursor)

    for _, tweet := range tweets {

        println(tweet.Result.Legacy.ScreenName)

    }

    if cursor == nil || err != nil {

        break

    }

}

```

## Is following

```golang

uid, _ := x.GetUserIDByScreenName("jarredsumner")

uidOfFollower, _ := x.GetUserIDByScreenName("cybermageek")

isFollowing := x.IsFollowing(uid, uidOfFollower)

```
