Projects API Scripting to add followers to tasks

Projects API Scripting to add followers to tasks

I've written a script that looks like it works, except it doesn't. The Python script does the following, but I've left out token refreshes and pauses that exist in the script:

  1. Queries our company account and returns an enumerated list of all active projects and project IDs.
  2. Prompts user to enter the number of the project they'd like to add followers.
  3. Queries the project for tasks and subtasks, printed "This project has XX tasks" and prints an enumerated list of users and User IDs.
  4. Prompts user to enter the number user(s) you would like to add as a follower to all tasks and enter 0 to finish adding users.
  5. Adds users and echoes success or failure. See example below:

Done adding followers to all tasks

According to the script, everything is peachy, but when I look at the project through the GUI, there's no change made.
Any idea what might be causing me this issue? It definitely returns my projects and users, and acts like it successfully adds follower.

Is this the correct string to add a follower to a task?
  1. follow_user(task_id, project_id, user_id_1, headers)
Where else might I be going wrong here? Thanks for any help. I'm trying it again in PHP, FWIW...
