Provide an API to retrieve recent user notifications (likes, RTs, follows, added to list, mentions, etc)
Today we have an API to get mentions and a cumbersome API to get some RT info. However, constructing something equivalent to the "Notifications" tab in Twitter is difficult or impossible. Where it's possible to approximate this functionality, it's inefficient (involving many requests) and runs up against rate limits very easily. A simple "GET notifications" API which returned objects representing notifications of all of these types (optionally with some filtering capability perhaps) would benefit app developers and likely reduce load from people bending over backward trying to replicate this functionality through the current APIs.
Previously, it was possible to recreate…

Add an Ask a Question feature, with allowed anonimity
Already used through third-parties, an Asking feature would allow a new channel for interaction between users, with possible permission control such as ""follows/mutual followers only".

Search bar for your individual timeline
Implementing a search bar solely for your timeline will save users from wasting time trying to remember tweets when they refresh the app. Instead of having to scroll down, search for the tweet with words that are constantly used in the atmosphere, and for those that may have forgotten to bookmark it immediately upon sight.

Split personal pictures and memes in media
Can be interesting to split in two the type of medias in user profiles.
1/ Personal pictures of the user (where he is tagged)
2/ All the rest (gif, memes, etc.)
Currently it's a little bit messy when you want to check the medias of a user.2 votes -
Poll with images
It's a pity to not be able to create a poll providing images on the same tweet. Why not adding it, like you did for retweet few years ago ?

Button to see poll result
Really often, people on Twitter define a choice on their poll just to let people not concerned see the result. Why not providing a simple button to let anybody see the result without having to choose an answer ?

Control scope of tweets individually
The evolution of this week was really interesting, but I would go further and like Facebook, let the user decides WHO can see a tweet (everybody, only my followers, our only the mentioned users).

Integration of twitter login flow for mobile apps and websites
A lab for building a simple login flow using the REST API and HTTP headers would do us a world of good. Detailed steps with how to build structured messages (I am aware that this is documented in fair detail but a lab form would additionally help us test our individual solutions as well) along with reference implementation and standard value outputs against which bespoke solutions can be tested. Along with the above a list of reference implementations for various languages such as Javascript, Java, Python would help as well. I am still stuck at Twitter login and am struggling…

API endpoint for reporting counterfeit digital goods
Please add an API endpoint for reporting accounts that are selling counterfeit digital goods. Hundreds of accounts are selling Netflix accounts, Spotify, and more. Just search "Netflix Premium Account" and see what I'm referring to. Why is this permitted? Can you please offer more through the API so we can help stop this?

Display to the user the day of the month the Tweet counter resets.
I recently hit my monthly cap on the number of Tweets I consumed. I understand that this counter will reset on the day of the month I first enrolled for Labs. I can not find that date anywhere in the Labs UI. Please show me that date!
1 voteThanks for the feedback! We plan on making this available in the UI. More details to come.

Twitter and users improvements
Adding a trial or a demo developer account would be a great and fantastic idea because it well help the users to try something new and make them very interesting and in the other hand it well help twitter seeing their actions and knowing if they are able to be responsible of the developer account or not.

GET statuses/likers/ids endpoint
Why don't we have the same kind of statuses/retweeters/ids endpoint but for likes, in order to get all the user ids who liked a particular tweet ?
11 votesThanks for the request & details. We don’t yet have plans to address this, but I have shared your request with the Product team for future consideration.

Add endpoints for muted keywords
We need a way to manage muted keywords, similar to the existing endpoints for muted users:
GET mutes/keywords/list
POST mutes/keywords/create
POST mutes/keywords/destroy8 votes -
First Tweet containing a hashtag
Surface is the first tweet in the hashtag, to know the founder of the hashtag, it is his right; and also there are those who use the hashtag for no purpose intended for topic of the hashtag (no objection to it), but you are tired to reach the news for which the hashtag was founded due to the large number of tweets outside the same topic.
3 votesThis is already possible with the Search API (full archive). You can use the counts endpoint for example to find out when a hashtag was mentioned for the first time on Twitter.

Add Moments API
I was trying to summarize a conference in a moment with over 64 tweets. Trying to organize those manually moving them up and down 1-by-1 on the site was a pain (as many people tweet things not quite in chronological order of the conference or if you sorted once and want to add more later, it's hard).
It'd be great to expose the API for creating/editing moments so that other tools could help push the experience of capturing events or help to correlate topics and insert into proper places.

Richer Direct Messaging API to enable creating more powerful BOTs
To enable a truly rich bot experience on Twitter, the API is missing things like:
- Cards message type (image + text + buttons +swipe left/right)
- Buttons and menus as part of message (not only Quick Replies)
- A more integrated webview, that is an integral part of the bot experience (for example the bot sends a "pick your seat" button which opens a small size web widget right in the chat to pick the seat, and then goes back to the main chat bot flow)
And most important:
the fixed limit of 15k DM regardless of number of…4 votes -
Add Endpoint to get retweet with comment aka 'Quote tweet'
Create endpoint for get "quote tweets" by other to Tweets authored by the user. Like endpoint statuses/retweetsofme.
14 votesNote that you can now filter quote Tweets with Filtered stream in Labs using the `is:quote` operator: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/labs/filtered-stream/operators
Combined with other operators, this is a first step towards what you are describing.
