Record followers
PUT /v1/channels/:network/followers scope write
Records the follower count by hand (Instagram only; channel picks the account). It becomes the record for that day.
Headers
Authorization: Bearer praeko_… and X-Praeko-Contract: en. Always send both.Legacy Portuguese alias (still answered, marked as deprecated): /v1/canais/:rede/seguidores.
Parameters
| Name | In | Description |
|---|---|---|
network |
path | Network: youtube, instagram or tiktok. |
channel |
query | Account id when the network has several (from GET /v1/channels). Without it, the default channel. |
Request body
JSON. Required fields must be sent; the others can be left out. Only valid for instagram (on TikTok and YouTube followers already come from the API; the wrong network returns 409 followers_from_api).
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
value required |
integer | Number of followers. 0 to 1000000000. |
day (optional) |
string | Day of the record, YYYY-MM-DD, at most tomorrow. Without it, today in the channel's time zone. |
