Follow a Threads account

Automatically follow a Threads account on threads.com. Follow a Threads account by username, as the signed-in account. Reports whether the account was already followed so a repeat run does not toggle it off.

Input

username required

Threads username to follow, with or without a leading @.

Output

username required

The normalised username that was acted on (lower-cased, no leading @).

following required

True when the signed-in account follows this account after the run.

profileUrl required

The Threads profile URL.

alreadyFollowing required

True when the account was already followed before this run, in which case nothing was clicked.

followersText optional

The follower count as the profile displays it, verbatim (e.g. "5.5M followers"). A display string, not a number.
