Twitter Gives Devs 6 Months To Display Tweets Properly, Use New Authentication and Rate Limts
So Twitter is making updates to its API, and to prepare for that, it's providing developers a preview of new requirements to access it. In an effort to create a "more consistent Twitter experience," the company told developers that it is placing restrictions around how the API is used. With a new version of the API coming in a few weeks, Twitter announced the changes on its developers blog today. And it's saying devs have six months to implement changes, or risk being shut out.Prior to the changes, developers could access the Twitter API anonymously, without having to register or let the company know how it was using that data. Well, no more of that. Twitter says that to limit malicious use of the API, and to better understand the apps that are accessing it, the company will require every request to be authenticated.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/GTLINLPqMjk/
