Check friends list
By ManikantanV, history, 9 years ago, In English

Is there a way to check list of users who have added me as friend in Codeforces?

No there is no such way to look for users who have added you as their friend but I hope this feature soon gets established on Codeforces!!

What good would it be? Will you get a sense of worth that people are following you?

    Good job digging this post from the grave. If I'm not wrong, the intention was to identify anyone I might know who were following me and follow them in return

https://mirror.codeforces.com/apiHelp/methods#user.friends I think using this API, you can view your friends list. But it says it requires authorization. I'm not even sure whether it is possible or not. If it is possible, someone please tell how to do it!!

    Well, I read the docs and tried the api method myself. Conclusion? It only returns the list of the users YOU have added as a friend. NOT THE USERS WHO ADDED YOU. Also, it needs authentication so you cannot check whether a person has added you or not either. In other words, it is useless in this usecase. And sorry that I downvoted you for making my hopes high.
