Unfollow a user on X/Twitter
Post & Actions
Unfollow a User
Make the authenticated source user unfollow a target user on X/Twitter. Proxies the official X v2 unfollow-user endpoint through the AIsa gateway.
POST
Unfollow a user on X/Twitter
Unfollow a user on X/Twitter on behalf of the authenticated source user. This is a proxy for the official X v2
DELETE /2/users/{source_user_id}/following/{target_user_id} endpoint, exposed through the AIsa gateway at https://api.aisa.one/apis/v1/twitter/unfollow_twitter. AIsa uses POST for consistency with the other Twitter write endpoints.
Prerequisites
- An AIsa API key (Bearer token for every request).
- A one-time OAuth authorization for the source user account. Link your X account by calling
POST /apis/v1/twitter/auth_twitter— that endpoint kicks off the OAuth flow and stores the resulting session against your AIsa key, so you do not pass OAuth tokens in the request body here. - The X session must hold the following scopes:
follows.write,tweet.read,users.read.
Response fields
| Field | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
data.following | boolean | false once the source user no longer follows the target. Returned as false even if the source user wasn’t following the target to begin with — unfollow is idempotent. |
Idempotency
Callingunfollow_twitter against a user you’re not following is a no-op. The endpoint still returns 200 with { "data": { "following": false } }. This matches X’s own behavior and means you can safely retry.
For the full set of error responses and retry guidance, see Error Codes. Write endpoints count toward your standard key RPM/TPM — see Rate Limits.
