## Parameters

| name | type | required | default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| user_id | not declared | yes | not declared | Whose followers to list: the 24-character user_id that `profile` or `search_users` returns, or a profile link https://www.xiaohongshu.com/user/profile/<ID>. Many accounts hide their follower list; then the call fails and is refunded. |
| page_token | not declared | no | not declared | Page token. Leave it out for the first page, then pass back the previous response's `next_page_token` exactly as received, with the other parameters unchanged. A page usually holds 19 to 20 people and is one call; the last page has no `next_page_token`. |

## Response fields (items in `results`)

| field | meaning |
|---|---|
| user_id | User's unique ID on the platform. |
| nickname | Display name of the account. |
| avatar_url | Avatar image link. Some platforms return sized CDN links that can expire. |
| url | The record's link on Xiaohongshu. Links from search, note, profile and hashtag usually carry an access token, so they open in a signed-out browser (the token expires; call again for a fresh link). Note links from user_posts carry no token and need one to open in a browser: call note with the note ID to get a link that opens. Profile links from search_users carry no token either; call profile with the user_id for one that opens. Note links from pgy_content_square carry a token, except with `keyword`, where they carry none. |
| follower_count | Follower count. Exact on profile. Approximate on search_users: the list shows a rounded figure (12,000 appears as 1.2 × 10,000), converted to a whole number. null means not public or not recognized, not zero. |
| note_count | Number of notes this follower has posted (followers_list). |
| of_user | Which account this row is a follower of (followers_list): the user_id in the request. |
| next_page_token | Page token (search, comments, sub_comments, user_posts, search_users, hashtag): pass it back unchanged as page_token, with the other parameters the same, to fetch the next page. |
| platform | Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok). |
