Copy link

this is great, thank you!

Great! And what if I want to automate the copy(followers) and copy(followings) commands? Is it possible to append to the same javascript code?

@AlphaC0de , that copy command is only for those that need to paste the data in a different program, such as a text editor. If you need to keep going with the automation (i.e., continuing the JavaScript code), you will have programmatic access to the followers and followings variables without doing anything extra... just access them and do whatever you need with the data.
