# Flickr Following API

The accounts one person follows, with the details the public list exposes.

`GET /v1/flickr/users/{userId}/following` returns a page of `data.people`. Each row carries `id`, `alias`, `name`, `isPro`, `ignored` and `avatar`. The route accepts an NSID or a path alias.

`alias` is null for this list: the public contacts record has no path alias. Use `GET /v1/flickr/users/{userId}` for the person's own alias. Use `limit` and `page.nextCursor` to walk the list. An unknown person returns `lookupStatus: not_found` with an empty list. This is the list of accounts the person follows, not the list of people who follow them.

## FAQ

### Does this return followers?

No. It returns the accounts the person follows. The public profile route reports the follower count.

### What does ignored mean?

A flag from the public contact list. It is returned as the record gives it rather than inferred.

### How much does a following page cost?

Pricing is documented on the operation in the API registry (shown on this page). Confirm on every response with meta.creditsCharged: that field is the billing source of truth. Each paginated page is a separate billed request.

### How do I name the person?

Use an NSID or a path alias such as bees or library_of_congress.
