Twitter Follow List

What it is

This block follows a specified Twitter list for the authenticated user.

How it works

<!-- MANUAL: how_it_works -->

This block uses the Twitter API v2 via Tweepy to follow a Twitter List. Following a list adds it to your Lists tab and shows tweets from list members in your timeline when viewing that list.

The block authenticates using OAuth 2.0 with list write permissions and sends a POST request to add the follow relationship. Returns a success indicator confirming the list was followed.

<!-- END MANUAL -->
