  title: X List the Followers of a Handle
  summary: Resolve a username to an id, then page that user's followers.
  description: >-
    Resolves an X account by its @username and then retrieves the first page of
    that account's followers. The lookup step requests the user.fields needed to
    chain, and the followers step inlines the user.fields and max_results so the
    flow reads and executes without opening the underlying OpenAPI description.
