The Platform: APIs

The Twitter Platform is a suite of APIs:
1. REST
2. Search
3. Streaming

REST API
Do everything a user can do, and more:
‣ Post tweets.
‣ Get timelines of tweets.
‣ View and manipulate the social graph.
‣ Send and retrieve direct messages.
‣ Modify account settings.

Search API
Discover trends, view historical trends.
Search for tweets:
‣ by term (ex: “CRV”)
‣ by user (ex “from:jack”)
‣ by location (ex: “near:SF within:15mi”)
‣ much more...

Streaming API
Push tons of data to partners in near-realtime.
Currently streaming:
‣ samples of the set of all public tweets
‣ search results
‣ just tweets by speciﬁed users
‣ more coming soon...

Geolocation

‣ Per-status geolocation: new lat and long
parameters.
‣ More accurate “near:” search results.
‣ Room to grow into more complex geodata via
GeoRSS and GeoJSON standards.

Apple Push

‣ Developers have implemented Apple Push on
their own, and that’s cool!
‣ But we want to handle it for you.
‣ Working prototype, ready for production soon.

api.twitter.com

‣ A simple change that helps us better serve you.
‣ Isolates API trafﬁc so we can direct it within our
cluster.
‣ Live for testing right now.

Versioning

‣ Another way we can keep your apps working
better.
‣ http://api.twitter.com/2/example/method.xml

‣ Additions say within a version, modiﬁcations and
removals bump to a new version.
‣ Each version supported for at least six months.

Search API Cleanup

‣ Right now, Search API results deviate from the
main (REST) API.
‣ We’re going to ﬁx it, and move the Search API
methods into the new api.twitter.com domain.

More Streams

‣ The Streaming API has been a big success.
‣ We need to know what else you want streamed...
‣ Changes to the social graph?
‣ Favorites?
‣ Retweets?

More OAuth

‣ Helping push the standard forward.
‣ Mechanism for a one-time exchange of
username:password credentials for a token
(“guns for cash”).
‣ More “Sign in with Twitter”.

Address Book API

‣ A way to ﬁnd Twitter users given email addresses.
‣ Secure and spammer-hostile.
‣ Familiar if you’ve used similar APIs from webmail
providers.

Support

‣ Building out a team just for developer support.
‣ Faster responses to your questions.
‣ More documentation, more example code.
‣ A better developer community site and
experience.

More...

‣ More Platform Engineers on staff at Twitter to
build the tools you need.
‣ More ways for users to discover your apps.
‣ API monitoring available publicly.

This document provides an overview of APIs and how they work. It begins with basic API concepts and definitions, then demonstrates how APIs are used by having programs interact with applications to access structured data without direct human interaction. It provides examples of common API uses for maps, login/authentication, payments, messaging and more. It also introduces the concept of webhooks which allow applications to "call" other services when data is available, rather than requiring the other service to periodically check via API calls. Overall it serves as a high-level introduction to APIs and webhooks for beginners.

Drive API Adoption: Reach Over 13 Million DevelopersPostman

The document discusses driving adoption of APIs through leveraging public workspaces and the Postman API Network. It provides tips for getting 10x adoption such as providing enough context and documentation, keeping documentation updated and complete, researching keywords, sharing knowledge rather than just features, and adding collections to onboard users. Publishing APIs on the Postman API Network allows reaching over 13 million developers and getting feedback to improve APIs.

WARNINGBIRD: A NEAR REAL-TIME DETECTION SYSTEM FOR SUSPICIOUS URLS IN TWITTER...Augustin Jose

This document describes WarningBird, a near real-time system for detecting suspicious URLs in Twitter streams. It analyzes correlated redirection chains of URLs, where attackers often reuse the same redirection routes. When WarningBird observes over w tweets, it groups URLs with the same domains and identifies frequently shared URLs. It extracts 11 features from redirection chains and uses supervised learning to flag tweets containing URLs from suspended accounts as suspicious. Compared to prior work, WarningBird enables real-time detection without account information and is resistant to fabrication through correlated URL analysis.

WarningbirdAndy Newell

This document describes WarningBird, a system for detecting suspicious URLs in Twitter streams. It uses URL redirection chains and tweet context to extract 11 features for classifying URLs. WarningBird crawls URLs to obtain redirection chains, then performs domain grouping, feature extraction and logistic regression classification. It achieved low false positive and negative rates on real Twitter data. WarningBird can process URLs quickly and detect suspicious accounts faster than Twitter's own systems.

Moving into API documentation writingEllis Pratt

API documentation writing is a growing field as more applications use APIs. The role requires technical writing skills as well as strong domain knowledge of programming languages and tools. API documentation writers create reference materials that explain how developers can utilize APIs through documentation of resources, endpoints, parameters and code samples. While requiring technical skills, the role differs from traditional technical writing through its focus on reference content for other developers rather than task-based content for general audiences. Overall, API documentation writing presents opportunities for technical writers to expand their skills and participate in an important area of software development.

Howtwitter workszebikhan

Twitter allows users to broadcast short messages to followers. It has an API that allows third-party applications to access Twitter data and a search API. Twitter is also compatible with RSS and Atom formats. Crowdsourcing distributes queries to multiple Twitter users to gather and combine results. Twitter acts as middleware for publishing and searching updates. It is a free service where messages stay in a queue until delivered and hashtags allow searchable context.

Blog Technology - Internet Marketing Pillar #313 Pillars of Internet Marketing

Blog technology is how we prefer to describe the marketing benefits of blogging. I view a blog as a great piece of technology rather than an online journal or diary. Many businesses dismiss blogs as informal online diaries in which people voice opinions. However, the technology behind a blog can be harnessed as a powerful Internet marketing medium for business – and the communication style can be any style you like.

A 4 line login - line platformLINE Corporation

This document provides an overview of LINE Login and its roadmap. LINE Login allows users to log into third-party services using their LINE account without needing separate logins. It uses OAuth 2.0 for web login and native SDKs for app-to-app authentication on mobile. Major features in development include auto-login, integrating user profiles and LINE Pay into services, and adding new APIs to access social information and make payments. The goal is to improve user experience by seamlessly connecting LINE accounts across services.

We are losing our tweets!John O'Brien III

- The document discusses the problem of Twitter being unable to provide long-term access to tweets about key events due to its search and storage limitations. - The author created a "minimally viable" prototype called TwapperKeeper that archives tweets by querying Twitter's API based on user-defined hashtags and storing them in a local database. - Feedback showed a need to archive retroactively as well as track keywords, handle high tweet velocities, export raw data, and incorporate real-time streaming APIs. The author recommends a version 2.0 with these improvements.

Mobile APIs: Optimizing APIs for Many DevicesApigee | Google Cloud

This document discusses optimizing APIs for mobile devices. It notes that mobile devices and networks are slower than servers, so APIs need to be optimized for these constraints. It recommends transforming data to more efficient formats like JSON, offering partial responses, enabling compression, implementing caching across a content delivery network, and being judicious about the amount of data returned to improve performance for mobile clients. The overall message is that APIs need to be designed with the limitations of mobile in mind.

Supercharging Self-Service API Integration with AI SnapLogic

Using an AI-Driven Model for Self-Service API Integration Developers must often build new applications that pull together multiple back-end services delivered via APIs. A new mobile app, for example, may need to connect to backend ERP or CRM systems using a variety of third-party APIs, which are then integrated and delivered as a new API that provides the mobile app interface. By applying machine learning to this process, developers can greatly increase the speed and reduce the complexity of API integration and management, empowering non-developers with the benefits of API integration. This presentation outlines the challenges of API integration in a modern cloud context and explains how developers can leverage machine learning to speed application development, reduce errors and improve security and compliance.

Twitter API 2.0

1. Twitter API 2.0 A VIEW INTO THE PLATFORM ROADMAP Alex Payne Twitter Platform Lead

2. Agenda ‣ Where we’re at. ‣ Where we’re going. ‣ Where you think we should be.

3. The Platform: Numbers 28,000 registered applications. 30,000 developers keeping up with changes. Hundreds of millions of requests per day. $23+ million invested in Twitter-powered startups.

4. The Platform: Team @al3x @rsarver @noradio @rafﬁ

5. The Platform: APIs The Twitter Platform is a suite of APIs: 1. REST 2. Search 3. Streaming

6. REST API Do everything a user can do, and more: ‣ Post tweets. ‣ Get timelines of tweets. ‣ View and manipulate the social graph. ‣ Send and retrieve direct messages. ‣ Modify account settings.

7. Search API Discover trends, view historical trends. Search for tweets: ‣ by term (ex: “CRV”) ‣ by user (ex “from:jack”) ‣ by location (ex: “near:SF within:15mi”) ‣ much more...

8. Streaming API Push tons of data to partners in near-realtime. Currently streaming: ‣ samples of the set of all public tweets ‣ search results ‣ just tweets by speciﬁed users ‣ more coming soon...

10. The New Stuff!

11. Geolocation ‣ Per-status geolocation: new lat and long parameters. ‣ More accurate “near:” search results. ‣ Room to grow into more complex geodata via GeoRSS and GeoJSON standards.

12. Apple Push ‣ Developers have implemented Apple Push on their own, and that’s cool! ‣ But we want to handle it for you. ‣ Working prototype, ready for production soon.

13. api.twitter.com ‣ A simple change that helps us better serve you. ‣ Isolates API trafﬁc so we can direct it within our cluster. ‣ Live for testing right now.

14. Versioning ‣ Another way we can keep your apps working better. ‣ http://api.twitter.com/2/example/method.xml ‣ Additions say within a version, modiﬁcations and removals bump to a new version. ‣ Each version supported for at least six months.

15. Search API Cleanup ‣ Right now, Search API results deviate from the main (REST) API. ‣ We’re going to ﬁx it, and move the Search API methods into the new api.twitter.com domain.

16. More Streams ‣ The Streaming API has been a big success. ‣ We need to know what else you want streamed... ‣ Changes to the social graph? ‣ Favorites? ‣ Retweets?

17. More OAuth ‣ Helping push the standard forward. ‣ Mechanism for a one-time exchange of username:password credentials for a token (“guns for cash”). ‣ More “Sign in with Twitter”.

18. Address Book API ‣ A way to ﬁnd Twitter users given email addresses. ‣ Secure and spammer-hostile. ‣ Familiar if you’ve used similar APIs from webmail providers.

19. Support ‣ Building out a team just for developer support. ‣ Faster responses to your questions. ‣ More documentation, more example code. ‣ A better developer community site and experience.

20. More... ‣ More Platform Engineers on staff at Twitter to build the tools you need. ‣ More ways for users to discover your apps. ‣ API monitoring available publicly.

21. Thanks! Questions?
