The Twitter API: Confessions of a User
Blog post from Postman
The author shares insights and reflections on their experience developing a Twitter hashtag search bot, highlighting a journey of trial and error with the Twitter API. Initially, they faced challenges due to hasty engagement with the API and a lack of thorough documentation review, leading to misunderstandings about data retrieval processes. They mistakenly thought the API restricted certain user information, but learned from a Twitter Developer Advocate that the API's design allows users to selectively request data, similar to GraphQL. The author discusses using Postman's query parameters to include user data in responses and invites other developers to improve the bot's code through collaboration in Postman's public workspaces.
