Twitter 2.0: 10x APIs Acceleration
Twitter Platform Director Ryan Sarver (Ryan Sarver) in a letter to the developers announced the functionality that they plan to implement with the release of new APIs in the near future. Plans, frankly, ambitious.
Most importantly, the frequency of requesting information for one user (OAuth requests to api.twitter.com/1/) is planned to be increased tenfold: from the current 150 requests per hour to 1500 requests per hour. If now the application can receive fresh updates from Twitter a couple of times per minute, then with the update of APIs it can be updated every 2.4 seconds.
Previously, this speed was available only to paid customers and large partners, like Google, but now it will appear for everyone and for free. For developers of applications for Twitter, this is just great news. For example, the author of the program Tweetdeck speaks of a significant shift in the software infrastructure around Twitter and the potential appearance of a whole generation of new applications, what can be called Twitter 2.0.
Currently, over 50,000 third-party applications have been created for Twitter. According to Ryan Sarver, ideally, each of these developers should have the same technical capabilities that are currently available for Google and Microsoft (the main paid Twitter clients who receive priority access to the twitter content in real time).
