Your Twitter feed can be very different after the company announced a breakthrough by allowing third-party developers and programs to appear on the platform.
Twitter has introduced a new API as it seeks to build bridges with the developer after years of separation.
The social media titan has introduced its v2 API, which means developers and third parties may soon have more flexibility to create new teams and for Twitter.
The “new enhanced Twitter API” can open the door to a new global opportunity, with the company noting that it hopes that “developers can connect globally to the public verbal exchange that is taking a position on Twitter.”
The launch is only the time of that launch since 2012, when Twitter announced a primary offensive against third parties on its site.
The V2 edition will be released before this year, but had to be postponed after the site suffered a massive cyberattack that affected several of its tracked top accounts.
Twitter says Twitter’s new API is “rebuilt from scratch to deliver new features faster,” and the company has taken a multitude of feedback from the developer network to create it.
“We know that our developer ecosystem is diverse, yet our API has taken a unique approach for a long time,” the company said in a blog post pronouncing the launch, stating that Twitter’s new API will be “more flexible and scalable” to meet developers’ wishes.
In addition to a “cleaner” API that Twitter says is less difficult to use, the new edition includes some of the maximum requested features that were missing in the past, adding the chat thread, survey effects in Tweets, Tweets pinned to profiles, spam filtering and more difficult feed filtering, and question search language.
The Twitter API will now come with degrees of access to make it less difficult for expanders to start and expand what they’re building, replacing the previous three-tier formula with more features to gain superior access if needed.
The new API is now offered early to those with a Twitter developer account, with new features implemented in the coming weeks.
“This is just the beginning,” Twitter added. “Developers like you push us and motivate us every day. Your creativity and your paintings with our Twitter API for Americans and businesses, and make the world a better place. Thank you for your partnership for the upcoming holidays.”
