Keeping my fingers crossed for removal of OAuth and other complications accessing the API. I hate using libraries for this, all I want is a simple token-based REST API, something like Facebook and many others have had for years.
I'd care more if I could actually appeal my dev account being perma banned for real reason other than I failed to clearly express what I wanted to do with a app > You cannot create additional apps because your developer account was rejected or suspended.
Let's face it, those aren't our accounts or our data. They are Twitter's.
All of that is controlled by Twitter, and intended to serve their business interests, or whoever happens to be controlling Twitter at that moment.
It was just a few days ago someone else was controlling Twitter.

> there's no way to retrieve the replies to a tweet My crusty old version of Tweetbot has been doing that for years...? Maybe not perfectly for tweets with hundreds of replies, but well enough.
Any idea how it's done in the API? I know you can retrieve a tweet's parent , but not its children .
Nobody wants a new API. The new features don’t make up for all the work needed to rewrite every call. Again. Nobody wants this.
Doesn't matter anyway because they already got rid of the useful APIs, which broke everything anyone I knew had written. Handwriting has been on the wall.

We got the same on one account because their emails went to spam. It's bloody weird to lock people out permanently for not seeing an email.
This is what they cite as the key benefits: "A cleaner API that's easier to use, with new developer features like the ability to specify which fields get returned, or retrieve more Tweets from a conversation within the same response Some of the most requested features that were missing from the API, including conversation threading, poll results in Tweets, pinned Tweets on profiles, spam filtering, and a more powerfu…
Speak for yourself. Their current API makes third party clients very difficult because they lack features and I hoped they'll announce something like this. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind them touching on the developers relations they want to build, but no company of their size will admit to wrongdoing in the past. Also words aren't worth anything unless they come in a legally binding contract that can't change o…
> Eventually, the new API will fully replace the v1.1 standard, premium, and enterprise APIs. Uh oh. Using nitter's [1] RSS feeds is one of my main ways to access news. I have the feeling this is about to end. [1] https://nitter.net/
