Today, Twitter finally retired version 1 of its Application Programming Interface, replacing it with version 1.1.A number of Twitter apps will become obsolete due to the update, including a few that are Twitter owned, such as TweetDeck.
Most Twitter app developers have already moved onto version 1.1 of the API, which was released in September last year. However, a number of smaller apps have been unable to make the transition due to usage restrictions imposed on them.
A small set of clients, who were “replicating the core Twitter experience” (according to a post on the Twitter Developers blog), were limited to 100,000 user tokens, making monetization almost impossible.
Twitter actually originally announced that version 1 would be shut down in May, but they extended by just over a month to ensure that version 1.1 was ready.
The update to version 1.1 is unlikely to affect any major Twitter apps.
Does this update affect you?
