Followers GET

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.

Pending received invitations GET

The invitations the account received and has not answered yet, a page of `limit`. Pass `cursor` back for the next page; `null` on the last.
