While trying to get user’s list of followed sites. By calling /users/{user-id}/followedSites endpoint gives "General exception while processing”

Question

I was trying to get user’s list of followed sites (using application permissions). But calling /users/{user-id}/followed Sites endpoint gives "General exception while processing” error and not able to know the root cause for this issue. Is something known issue or is it permission related issue?

Please find logs attached for the same:

Answer 1

As per this article, it does not support to get followed site of other users using Application permissions.

So here you need to use Deleted Flow in authentication
