You can't scrape a Twitter profile page for followers/following, you need to be signed on, and you'll encounter rate limits scraping even if you somehow do this with an authenticated session.

Now if you were talking about scraping Twitter user profiles, that's much easier since Twitter allows anonymous access to those. But not followers/following - they removed that around 2012 or so.
