Follow Cookbook

Example Call

When a cookbook is being followed, the new or updated versions of that cookbook that are fetched into the repositories section will automatically get imported into your account. You can only follow cookbooks that are in the alternate namespace. For more information about alternate namespaces, see Primary and Alternate Namespaces.

To get a cookbook ID, you need to perform a List Cookbooks.

Note: Repositories are automatically re-scraped roughly once a day.
