I have to find the number of Twitter followers date-wise, e.g., the number of followers I had 2 weeks, 4 weeks, or 6 weeks ago.
I have tried searching on https://dev.twitter.com/rest/tools/console, but it is not accepting any date format while I am querying.
How can I get this info?
TwitterCounter.com lets you see up to 6 months history of followers, following, and tweets. To see 6 months worth you have to tweet a message, but 3 months or less is available to see right away. Just sign in with twitter and search for a user and up it comes. Eg @spolsky:
You can use the Twitter REST API to get all the followers.
First you need the followers/ids method:
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/followers/ids
With that method you can get all the ID's (beware you can only get 5000 ID's at a time).
If needed you can get more info for the follower(s) with the users/lookup method:

You should start a new campaign to attract new followers.
The Campaigns dashboard will show you a variety of metrics related to your followers campaign, such as the number of times users see the ad, the number of times it’s clicked on, your follow rate and your cost-per-follow (CPF). The Followers dashboard allows you to track your follower growth over time. You can also use it to discover valuable information about your new and existing followers, such as their location, gender and interests. You can get a comprehensive view of the metrics for all of your Tweets, both paid and unpaid, in the Tweet activity dashboard.
There is no opportunity to add followers from earlier timeline.
