How to get followers_count and following_count in the json response?

JSON response
{
"id":
........
"followers_count": 922,
"following_count": null, <----------------------------------------------------------------- need this info
.....
"following": false,
"followed_by": null,
},

Here are my code alterations but still returns null

      const userIndexPaths = [
...
        "legacy.followers_count",
        "legacy.following_count",  <-------------------------- add this assign the variable
        "legacy.statuses_count",
        "legacy.favourites_count",
....
      ];

    async upsertUsers(users) {
      return this.db.transaction("rw", this.users(), () => {
        const data = users.map((user) => ({
          ...user,
          twe_private_fields: {
            created_at: +parseTwitterDateTime(user.legacy.created_at),
            updated_at: Date.now(),
            // Ensure following_count is included
            following_count: user.legacy.following_count, // <----------------------- add this
            followers_count: user.legacy.followers_count   
          }
        }));
        return this.users().bulkPut(data);
      }).catch(this.logError);
    }

....

    columnHelper.accessor("legacy.followers_count", {
      meta: { exportKey: "followers_count", exportHeader: "Followers" },
      header: () => /* @__PURE__ */ u(Trans, { i18nKey: "Followers" }),
      cell: (info) => /* @__PURE__ */ u("p", { children: info.getValue() })
    }),
    // add this function
    columnHelper.accessor("legacy.following_count", {
      meta: { exportKey: "following_count", exportHeader: "Following" },
      header: () => /* @__PURE__ */ u(Trans, { i18nKey: "Following" }),
      cell: (info) => /* @__PURE__ */ u("p", { children: info.getValue() })
    }),

---
//altered this function to grab following as well

const FollowersInterceptor = (req, res, ext) => {
  // Identify if the request is for "Followers" or "Following"
  const isFollowers = /\/graphql\/.+\/(BlueVerified)*Followers/.test(req.url);
  const isFollowing = /\/graphql\/.+\/Following/.test(req.url);

  if (!isFollowers && !isFollowing) {
    return;  // Exit if neither pattern matches
  }

  try {
    const newData = extractDataFromResponse(
      res,
      (json) => json.data.user.result.timeline.timeline.instructions,
      (entry) => {
        const user = extractTimelineUser(entry.content.itemContent);

        if (user && user.legacy) {
          // Set counts based on the type of request
          user.followers_count = isFollowers ? user.legacy.followers_count : user.followers_count;
          user.following_count = isFollowing ? user.legacy.following_count : user.following_count;
          return user;
        }
        return null;
      }
    );

    databaseManager.extAddUsers(ext.name, newData);

    // Log based on the type of data processed
    const logType = isFollowers ? "Followers" : "Following";
    logger.info(`${logType}: ${newData.length} items received`);
  } catch (err) {
    logger.debug(req.method, req.url, res.status, res.responseText);
    logger.errorWithBanner("UserInterceptor: Failed to parse API response", err);
  }
};

of interest are
const FollowingInterceptor = (req, res, ext) => {
and
const FollowersInterceptor = (req, res, ext) => {

I chose to conbine to grab the info into 1 function.
Returns null, cannot get it to populate the value.

There is no user.legacy.following_count property. The field of user's following count in Twitter API is actually called friends_count. And you don't need to change twe_private_fields.

I've modified the script and build a combined version for you. Give it a try:
