Full followers and/or followees list

General Discussion

Hi

I’ve started looking in to programming an utility that crosschecks if people I’m following is following me ( or the other way )…

But it seems that the “following” and “followers” tabs on my.zwift.com stops loading more profiles when hitting the “Show more zwifters” button when it hits 100 entries.

Is there another place ( not the ZCA ) where I can get the full list ?

Also there are a few API projects on Github and they also seems to only pull the first 100 entries.

That’s a good idea. I’ve wondered that myself. It was easy at first to cross reference, but once I got over a certain number of followers, it was no longer realistic to check everyone. I did see where people would follow me, then I’d follow back, then they’d unfollow quickly after. :man_shrugging:. No sense in following someone if they aren’t going to follow back (not counting the pros and others I want to follow for the fun of it, from whom I would never expect a follow back). Good luck on your programming! Ride On :+1:t3:

Hi Sean

You pretty much listed all my thoughts on the followers/following topic :+1:

I’m just a “hobby programmer”, but if the my.zwift.com list could include the full list it doesn’t seems to be a huge job to do some cross checking.

Any inputs and/or good ideas are highly welcome :slightly_smiling_face:

Just finished this: https colon slash slash github dot com slash permezel slash zwi

(cannot include links in my posts, sorry)

I used it to prune my followees list down so that everyone I follow also follows me.

Still requires some manual effort. I had about 130 entries to unfollow, out of ~1400.
Could be full of bugs. As always, don’t blindly trust anything downloaded from the internet.

Hi

This looks awesome :+1::pray:

I’ll give it a try one of the upcoming days and leave feedback here ( would try it just now if a day had 28 hours, but has to prioritize :roll_eyes: )

Hi to Boox,
I have been confused with this following and being followed.
Boox, you give me the (ride on) on almost every ride I do. This encourages me, and I like that this happens.
As to if my returns are applied back to you I know not, as it is only when I finished I scroll through the Thumbs up do I get to click your name.
Not sure if I am then not following you if I click the star … Confused !

I am that slow old codger who prefers going up hills. As its the only time I get to pass inexperienced riders who attack the hills too fast.
Game name is ( 2.Jelly Legs @ 64. )
This name even makes me laugh.
Soon will be changed to 65… getting older !

Hi

Just a quick update…

Just tested the script on Python3.9 on Win10(work pc :roll_eyes: - will test on a Linux Python later, all pip updated and… ) and I only get.:

processed xx followees
processed xx followers

As out output, no actual usernames.

Are you testing on a normal account or developer account ?

That would mean that all your follwees also follow you.
Also, all your followers are followed by you. Is that not true?

My account is a normal account. I don’t think developer accounts are available.

I assume ‘xx’ is some # which matches your # followers/followees?

I just tried it again. Yesterday I tried following someone who is private. He has not responded.

% zwi wees
NO_RELATIONSHIP IS_FOLLOWING John xxxxxx
processed 1251 followees

Here are the folks who are following me, are private, and have not allowed me to follow back:

% zwi wers
IS_FOLLOWING REQUESTS_TO_FOLLOW Mike xxxxx
IS_FOLLOWING REQUESTS_TO_FOLLOW S xxxxxx
IS_FOLLOWING REQUESTS_TO_FOLLOW K xxxxxx
processed 1253 followers

I Xed out the names for privacy, I guess.

I’ll add a --verbose flag to just dump the list. Not right now, though. Dinner time.

Ah… I was testing on my guest account ( used for when I invite friends over for Zwifting ) and there’s only a few followers/followees - all “1:1” which probably explains my results.

I’ll test on my main account later and give you the feedback :pray::slightly_smiling_face:

Added a -v option. Changed output format to include index in list.
