const lookup = await fetch("https://api.trigify.io/v1/x/lookup-user", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ username: "trigaborter" }),
});

const { user_id } = await lookup.json();

// Then follow
await fetch("https://api.trigify.io/v1/x/follow", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ target_user_id: user_id }),
});
