Find tracked accounts with similar follow patterns. Computed from temporal follow-graph overlap.

The `vc` in the path is historical. This works on any tracked account, not only funds.

**Cost:** Draws on your monthly usage.

```bash
curl "https://frontrun.vc/v1/vc/pmarca/similar?min_overlap=0.2&limit=10" \
  -H "X-API-Key: your_api_key"
```

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `handle` | string (path) | -- | X username of the tracked account. **Required.** |
| `min_overlap` | number (query) | `0.1` | Minimum overlap score (0–1) to include in results. |
| `limit` | integer (query) | `20` | Maximum results (max 50). |

| `overlap_score` | number | Similarity score (0–1) based on shared follow targets weighted by recency. |
| `shared_follows` | integer | Number of entities both accounts follow. |
| `unique_follows` | integer | Entities the similar account follows that the queried account does not. Useful for discovery. |

Results are sorted by `overlap_score` descending.
