## Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `username` | string | yes | The X (Twitter) username to fetch followers for, without the @ prefix (e.g. elonmusk). |
| `cursor` | string | no | Opaque pagination cursor from a previous response's nextCursor. Omit for the first page; pass it to fetch the next page of followers. |
| `limit` | integer | no | Per-page maximum number of followers to return (default 200). A native page holds up to 200 accounts, so a larger limit still returns at most one native page; follow the response's nextCursor for more. |
