Undocumented Shotgun API method "Shotgun.following(entity)"

Flow Production Tracking

Hi,

First post here, so i figured it could just as well be something useful.

I would just like to notify shotgun developers that they have an undocumented method “Shotgun.following()” which takes an entity as an argument and returns a list of dictionaries representing entities followed by the specified entity.

Useful for when you want to retrieve a list of “stuff” followed by the user, for example, but had i not checked the code directly, this info would have been much harder to get…

Cheers,
Aleksandar

Thanks for pointing that out, Aleksandar! I’m flagging this with the docs team to get that remedied. Something useful like that should not be hidden!

Ah nice! There are few users on this old feature request would love to hear about this https://support.shotgunsoftware.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/209479628-See-a-list-of-all-the-things-I-m-following

There is still no way to access this in shotgun web thought right?

Unfortunately, there’s still no way to have it in shotgun web, Luke. This was confirmed to me by shotgun support a week ago.

Hi Aleksander,

Thank you for pointing out the gap in our documentation.

I’ve now updated the docs to refer to this method:

Cheers,
Neil
