How it works

This block uses the Twitter API v2 via Tweepy to unpin a Twitter List from your quick access area. The list remains followed but no longer appears in your pinned section.

The block authenticates using OAuth 2.0 with list write permissions and sends a DELETE request to remove the pin relationship. Returns a success indicator confirming the list was unpinned.
