Accept or deny follower requests (when tweets are protected)
It will be really useful to be able to accept/deny follower requests with Twitter API when tweets are protected.
This feature exists but currently this is not public.
When I try to call this endpoint :
POST https://api.twitter.com/1.1/friendships/accept.json?user_id=<follower id>
I've received : {"errors":[{"code":37,"message":"Not authorized to use this endpoint."}]} - HTTP Code : 403

Thanks for the additional detail. I have shared this with the Product team for further consideration.
Please keep voting for this idea if it resonates with you!

This feature is important as a user who attempted to follow a private user through the api currently can only undo this operation from the Twitter website interface.
This is also preventing developers like myself from running end to end tests on Twitter with private users.

Hi Nicolas - could you tell us more about why this feature is of interest to you? What are you trying to achieve exactly?
