Docs sections: [Get started](https://cotlet.dev/docs.md) · [REST API](https://cotlet.dev/docs/api.md) · [MCP](https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp.md) · [SDKs & CLI](https://cotlet.dev/docs/sdks.md) · [Integrations](https://cotlet.dev/docs/integrations.md)

Follow a publisher or creator in this account's Discover.

Google Discover API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/google-discover.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/google-discover/publisher/follow`

Access: write.

Follows the publisher from its card or page, so the account sees more of it. Returns the publisher and its status. Undo with unfollow_publisher. It changes only your own feed, reaches nobody and is undone in one call, so it does not ask for confirmation.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `publisher` | string | yes | Publisher name as the card shows it, e.g. Example Daily News, or its domain. |

## Request

**cURL**

```bash
curl -X POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/google-discover/publisher/follow \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $COTLET_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"publisher":"Example Daily News"}'
```

**Python**

```python
result = client.call("google-discover", "follow_publisher", {"publisher":"Example Daily News"})
```

**Node.js**

```js
const result = await cotlet.call('google-discover', 'follow_publisher', {"publisher":"Example Daily News"});
```

**CLI**

```bash
cotlet call google-discover follow_publisher --data '{"publisher":"Example Daily News"}'
```

## Example response

{
  "publisher": "Example Daily News",
  "status": "following"
}
```

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
