What's an API?

well there goes the one remaining use case i had for twitter, which was offloading screenshots and videos from my switch even more hilarious, i'm pretty sure if they shut off the api, it's gonna break any website that has the "sign in with twitter" option. not sure how many people actually use that, but if you did you're probably out of luck.

grittyreboot posted:What's an API? application programming interface. it's an interface what lets you talk directly to an application/service. i use the twitter API to automatically grab and cross post tweets containing news updates from my feed to my discord. won't be able to do that no more. e: well i will but i'll have to use http instead which will be much worse on twitter's servers

i missed the part today where elon privated his own twitter either because he's a moron or because he's desperate to be one of the boys. lmao..grittyreboot posted:What's an API? application programming interface, it lets third parties fetch data from your site. basically if they do this a ton of stuff that made twitter useful (example: having earthquake data relayed onto twitter) will be gone

also paywalling the api kinda shows how desperate elon is for money. like i used it cause it was free but i'm not going to pay money for my bot accounts that i post dumb things like generating star wars names. oh wait, no! elon! i will pay $20/month to be able to continue doing that!

grittyreboot posted:What's an API? It's how other applications can communicate with a service. A website can technically go to https://www.twitter.com/tweet1, load the whole page into its memory and retrieve a tweet from that, but it's incredibly inefficient and often difficult to get around the need for user inputs. APIs allow them to visit say, api.twitter.com/tweet1 and retrieve just the information they need from tweet1: The tweet, the user id, date, time, etc. Similar there might be a api.twitter.com/post/ which will allow the website to post without having to automate the human processes of logging on, finding the correct input field and clicking send tweet. It allows other websites to use twitter functionality without individual user input.

Again it's sort of amazing how like if you had made a list last year of best ways to gently caress up Twitter the fastest, musk would of gone through pretty much all the top ones by now. It really is impressive.

he gave a week for people to figure out if they really want to pay money for.. a thing that helps twitter generate content. -- btw if you're not aware of twitter developer.. lore... twitter use to have an extremely open API until about 2012 when they slowly started removing features (including third party apps having limited tokens to use for their apps) and developers basically left the platform in droves. people were developing "businesses" on top of twitter which was dumb but people did it anyways and got angry and left twitter when this happen. it got to the point where after jack came back to be ceo around 2015, he "apologized" for the way they handled it.. and then proceeded to kinda gently caress developers again over that time. i think before elon acquired twitter they had released a new api and were going to try to do creative new things to attract all the developers that got sick and tired of twitter loving over developers. this is the death knell for it (developer wise). imagine making developers pay for an api that is shite after they previously got screwed over by the company. no one is going to build anything useful especially now that the population is slowly creeping over to terminally online chuds.

This move to paid api is kind of expected. Over the course of the last decade a lot of things have been gating off their api because of how much bandwidth they soak up... Typically you'd just rate limit free accounts... the only reason you'd paywall if bots using APIs were a huge problem and you wanted to take a nuclear approach, right?

nullEntityRNG posted:This move to paid api is kind of expected. Over the course of the last decade a lot of things have been gating off their api because of how much bandwidth they soak up... Well, that, and for some reason your primary revenue source died up because like two thirds of your advertisers decided to gently caress off. Nobody knows why.  And then your amazing plan to sell checkmarks also fell flat on its rear end because only around 200,000 people (on a platform of 450 million monthly active users) decided they wanted to stick the "bully me" hat on. Again, nobody knows how that failed Elon's desperate for cash, and frankly, I do understand him deeply. Remember how he got dragged to the world cup final by the saudis in nothing but his t-shirt and pants? People were joking about the lowtax% speedrun but everyone's sleeping on the very real possibility of a khashoggi%

I didn’t realise until just now that it will mean breaking a lot of the automated accounts that do stuff like post animal pictures every hour will be done for. For some people that’s a big part of their Twitter feed just gone.

This is an example of an API that's owned by twitter. In this case it's an API that you send the link of a tweet to, and in response it'll send you the HTTP needed to embed a tweet onto your web page. Jeffrey is going to have to pay money to save PYF.
