GET
/api/v1/users/followers

The account's own followers, as LinkedIn lists them (newest first), a page of limit (at most 100), read from LinkedIn 10 at a time with a short pause between, so a full page takes several seconds. Pass cursor back for the next page; null on the last. A company that follows the member is left out. user_id may only name the account itself (422 otherwise): LinkedIn shows no one else's followers; another member's are a people search with the followerOf filter.

A member's profile GET

`identifier` is a public identifier (`jane-doe`) or a provider id (`ACoA…`). `notify=true` makes the read a visit the member sees (counted in the `visit` cap, once a day per profile). `open_profile=1` also reads whether the member takes free InMails (`is_open_profile`): the member's own setting, also for a connection, when the account has a Sales Navigator seat; without one, known only for a member you are not connected to (LinkedIn shows a connection's setting nowhere else), else `null`.

People followed GET

The people the account follows, in the relations' shape, a page of `limit` (at most 100), read from LinkedIn 10 at a time with a short pause between. Pass `cursor` back for the next page; `null` on the last. The list names each person by provider id only: `public_identifier` is `null` and `public_profile_url` links by provider id; `first_name` and `last_name` split the one name LinkedIn shows at its first space; `created_at` is `null`.
