Twitter announced in a blog post today that it will be releasing a new version of its API, with a few changes coming for developers, including a required authentication on every API endpoint, a new per-endpoint rate-limiting methodology and changes to for third-party Twitter clients.
In June, Twitter developer Michael Sippey wrote a post warning developers that Twitter was going to focus on creating a consistent experience for users, and might be restricting third-party use of its API. Twitter immediately cut off access to users reading Tweets on LinkedIn, but didn’t provide much further direction. The original post explained that Twitter would be focusing on building out in-app expanded Tweets as it moved forward.
Here’s the link to the blog post from Twitter, with more to come.
