Meet Aviary, a modern client for iOS 14 built using the new Twitter API. It has a beautiful UI and great widgets to keep you up to date with the latest Tweets. apps.apple.com/us/app/id15220…
Building on the newest features of both the #TwitterAPI and iOS was the inspiration for @JPEGuin, creator of @AviaryTheApp. “I wanted to make something that uses the latest iOS 14 features, whilst being fully feature-rich so users can make the most of it.”
“I always wanted my work to speak for me, and be out there for others in the world to use and admire,” says @JPEGuin. “It fills me with a sense of accomplishment to be able to see people use my products, and liking them, after putting in countless hours of hard work and effort.”

Academics are one of the biggest groups using the #TwitterAPI to research what’s happening. Their work helps make the world (& Twitter) a better place, and now more than ever, we must enable more of it.
Introducing 🥁 the Academic Research product track! blog.twitter.com/developer/en_u…
Feedback from hundreds of researchers around the world helped shape what’s launching today:
• The full history of public conversation data ⌛
• A higher Tweet cap 📈
• Advanced filtering ability 🔍
• Technical resources 🧑💻
• And all available for free 🎉
To get started, new and returning developers must submit an Academic Research application. This process helps us make sure that access to this data will be used safely, securely, and in line with our Developer Policy.
Your feedback over the past few years has played a huge role in helping shape what we're building. You helped us better understand what you want to accomplish with the Twitter API and where we can support you better.
Twitter launched in 2006, and just a few months later, the Twitter API was released. 🎉
The first s̶e̶t̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶d̶o̶c̶s̶ doc for v1 looked like this 👇
Twurl, Twitter’s curl-like application, arrived in 2009. Twurl is specifically tailored for the #TwitterAPI — seriously, you can do so much with Twurl. It’s like the Swiss Army Knife for the Twitter APIs.
In 2011 our official #TwitterAPI documentation site launched. Up until then, developers were using Google Groups for discussions and solving problems. 👀
2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣9️⃣ was a big year for @TwitterDev 🚀
We released Twitter Developer Labs - a new program that enables our developer community to test new features + endpoints, and share feedback before we launch the next generation of the Twitter API. 🧵
Since Labs went live in March, we’ve launched 🤚 new releases for developers to test:
🆕 Tweets and users endpoints: Use these endpoints to quickly lookup Tweets and people on Twitter by ID.
Study a sample of timely, relevant Tweets as they happen, with the newest release in Twitter Developer Labs. twittercommunity.com/t/new-sampled-…
With this endpoint, you can extract signals from the public conversation, by sampling 1% of all public Tweets as they happen.
We also want you to know about our future plans to deprecate the existing GET statuses/sample endpoint.
We don’t have deprecation timing formalized yet, but we’ll give 6 months’ notice for migration.
