What is Twitter Api?
You may develop for the Twitter discussion and programmatically retrieve and analyze Twitter data with the help of the Twitter API.
The Twitter API has expanded over time to give developers and scholarly researchers more access levels so they may scale their access to improve and study public discourse.
We just published the Twitter API version 2. With its new and expanded capabilities, contemporary base, and fast onboarding for Basic access, the Twitter API v2 is here to stay.
The Twitter API is divided into three sections that describe its many versions and access levels, what’s new in version 2, and which resources you may obtain, create, remove, and modify with the API.
