# Fetch follower / Connection Counts

This endpoint retrieves social metrics of a profile, such as follower and connection counts.<br><br>Data is served from our database and was collected within the last 30 days, rather than being fetched live. This keeps response times fast and consistent and lowers the cost to **0.1 credits per request**. For most use cases (lead scoring, audience sizing, prioritization) follower and connection counts change slowly, so this data is accurate enough.<br><br> The header `Content-Type: application/json` must be included in the request.
