SharePoint 2013 Hosting - HostForLIFE.eu :: How to Retrieve Followed Sites in SharePoint 2013 Using REST API ?

In this post, let me tell you about How to Retrieve Followed Sites in SharePoint 2013 Using REST API. We can use the SharePoint 2013 representational State Transfer (REST) service to try to to constant tasks you’ll be able to do when you use the .NetCSOM, JSOM.

Here I make a case for a way to retrieve the site name and url followed by the current user in SharePoint 2013 using a client object model (REST API and JavaScript) and displaying it in the SharePoint page.

1. Make a new page and a Content Editor Webpart (CEWP)

2. And now, edit the web part that was added to the page as shown on the below picture:

3. And then , upload your text file script into the site assests & copy the path of the text file and paste it into the Content link in CEWP.
Write the following code shows how to retrieve all of the following sites:

<html>  
   <head>  
     <script type="text/javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>

           var followingManagerEndpoint;
           var followedCount;
            var followingEndpoint;  
           var URL;  
           var website;  
           var clientContext;  
              SP.SOD.executeFunc('sp.js', 'SP.ClientContext', loadWebsite);  
           function loadWebsite() {  
               clientContext = SP.ClientContext.get_current();  
               website = clientContext.get_web();  
             clientContext.load(website);  
               clientContext.executeQueryAsync(onRequestSucceeded, onRequestFailed);
