What do you dislike about Twitter API?

If you are a big company, the new API Pulls may cause some issues. An Issue with that is that each and every login is taking one "Credit," so Users could eventually misuse this limit, especially when a big stack of users exists. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Twitter API solving and how is that benefiting you?

Setting up an easy and recognizable Login solution that is widely known and has an existing big user base, making it easier for your own users to create an account without any costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Twitter API?

Twitter API is a great interface that helps me compose tweets, read profiles, access data and a high volume pf tweets. Basically it is a great software to help communicate two different types of applications and such. as someone who handles various twitter handles and such for work or personal social media reasons I use this to help with creating program data to robotically set up tweets, retweets and likes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would have to say, it might be the daily restrictions that restrict access tokens to protect the platforms cause I understand it is to protect from abusive usage but sometimes these caps do not cut it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Twitter API?

The ability to post from anywhere via the mobile app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Twitter API?

I do not have any dislikes at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Twitter API:

The interface is intuitive and I like the feature for integration with LinkedIn. Once can post on LinkedIn and the post automatically cross-posts to Twitter. This does not work when posting to Twitter.

This was a past feature that Twitter took away, but fortunately, LinkedIn kept this feature to allow a post on LinkedIn to post to Twitter simultaneously. This is very efficient and allows me to be more productive.

I also like the groups feature in Twitter where one can organize followers in categories based upon similar interests or any other reason you may want to see a particular group of people's tweets all together. I have been a user since June 2009 and continue to use this today. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Twitter API solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have the ability to interact with colleagues across the globe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Twitter API?

One of the things I like best about Twitter API is it's connection with Java and Ruby. Twitter API lets you access data without knowing Java as well so you can get a JSON read by your computer so any employee is able to use Twitter API. I like how you can use third party apps to check on twitter activity and bot checks. I like the ability to retrieve data the best .I feel it works seamlessly and I have the least amount of difficulties with that command. The upside of using Twitter API is it is user friendly and has tons of add-ons and is malleable for other apps. The data extraction is my most useful tool. I need to keep an eye on twitter and see how the account is growing and track influences that we have followed and received a followback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Twitter API?

What I dislike about Twitter API is that you need to go through several steps to plugin to word press. Also with Twitter API you can match secure data through API's and Twitter already was vulnerable to that attack. API also still has limitations like cap on account follows and characters. I also dislike responding to Tweets using Twurl. Also when you use Twurl as an endpoint you can create Twitter bots and they are easily replicable by others to mirror you. I also dislike that Twitter API phases out alot of extras so you never know if your old tools and addons, plug ins etc will be phased out and when. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Twitter API solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am solving scheduling issues, live-tweeting for recurring instances and extracting data for analyzation. Twitter API we also have used for customer contact. I don't particularly like to use it for customer contact because you can't get complicated in responses however it does give instant satisfaction to the consumer. I would definitely recommend that Twitter API is made available for multiple platforms. It is often difficult to access on mobile and it is hard to have multiple administrators using it. I am solving a lot of marketing projection issues with this as well through its data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most is that it is a quite comprehensive social network, which keeps me informed about what happens day to day in different types of areas of personal interest. Similarly, it allows us to express content or ideas called TWEETS, thus interacting with more people around the world. The service provided by this powerful social network is completely free. It is a social network that day by day experiences significant growth, as more and more people join this innovative social network worldwide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Twitter API?

What I don't like about the social network Twitter is that there is no type of censorship, highlighting that there is a lot of content exposed that is not suitable for all audiences. Similarly, it should be mentioned that on Twitter there is a lot of identity theft, as it is very easy to create an account, and some take advantage of this to establish fake profiles without any control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Twitter API:

Twitter is a highly recommended communication tool for all those users and companies who wish to use a social network that provides them with a large number of benefits and at the same time allows them to interact in real time with millions of users around the world.

What problems is Twitter API solving and how is that benefiting you?

Twitter is a social network that offers a wide variety of benefits to its users, highlighting the great power of interactivity that users have when using this wonderful social network, allowing people to express thoughts, ideas, news, and at the same time advertise a product, brand, or company. Similarly, nowadays companies use Twitter on a large scale to carry out advertising for everything they manage and thus keep their customers informed about promotions, while also interacting directly with the general public.

What do you like best about Twitter API?

It is a social network that encompasses thoughts, ideas, information, and interactions between users from different backgrounds all over the world!! Within the application, there are the so-called "hashtags" which are tags to identify a debate or a common idea that is being talked about a lot. In general, while using Twitter, I stay instantly informed about everything happening around the world just by refreshing the homepage. It is a completely free application where promotions will opportunely appear. It is a network that increasingly connects more people around the world, I am delighted with Twitter, I recommend it. As a director of a shopping center user, it is an opportunity to reach more people in Caracas, Venezuela. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Twitter API?

When you use it on a mobile device, the download can take up a lot of space on the device, which causes the application to close. It shows pornographic content from users without restrictions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Keep in mind that Twitter is a very broad social network where all topics around the world are debated, where each user shares opinions, writes, and manages to interact freely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Twitter API solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Twitter, I connect with people and get the most out of communication. It helps me stay informed about news related to my work in real time. In conclusion, it is a very broad network where you will find a universe of tweets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
