The ability to unlike tweets from private accounts
Please give us an option to be able to unlike tweets from private accounts. Facebook have given their users an option to unlike posts from private accounts and posts from blocked accounts using the activity log. It does not violate anyone’s privacy as you cannot see the posts in your activity log, it just informs you that you liked a post and allows you to unlike it. I please request the same option to be available on Twitter. It takes a very long while to post all of your tweets and photos to a new account and try to figure…

Twitter Ratings
I have an idea for Twitter Ratings.
The idea is to simplify what people are saying on Twitter instead of having to read through all the tweets.How it would work would be if you send out a tweet about a movie, Twitter will then ask you what you would rate the movie on a scale of 1-5 star rating. Then Twitter will use this information and display the results of everyones rating at the top of the search results of the given movie.
This could work for TV Shows, Movies, and even Consumer Products.
Considering Netflix has no rating…

Please give us the option to remove followers
Instagram have recently given users the ability to remove followers instead of blocking them to remove them. I please request that Twitter also give us this option and not notify the users they have been removed from following us.

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.

Endpoint or method to return account(s) current standing (eg. suspended, deactivated, deleted etc)
This would be desirable for research into both active & historical fake & disinfo accounts. Academics might also like it
Description
An endpoint or method that returns whether accounts has been renamed, suspended, deactivated or deleted, for both a single account and a list of accounts.
We should be able to pass in either screenname or id or idstr, or lists thereof.
Return an appropriately detailed JSON object.
We can currently only establish if an account is suspended by attempting a GET user/show & then parsing the error response codes.
Rationale
It used to be possible to do…

Support non-public metrics via OAuth 2.0 for the Labs v2 'Tweets and Users' endpoint
With API v2 (Labs v2) launching last week, it seems incredible that some endpoints still require the use of oAuth 1.0 which is scarcely supported. This makes developing for the 'next gen' API feel surprisingly primitive - and is an accessibility barrier that is unique in the sophisticated landscape of 2020.

alt text via API
Images in tweets should have their alt text available via API. Make it obvious. Here is where I would have expected to find it: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets/data-dictionary/overview/entities-object#media
36 votesThanks for the feedback! While we are aware of this ask, we will not be able to prioritize this in the near future. Please keep voting for this idea if it resonated with you.

Search for files
Add files section to the search, lately I noticed a lot of people post files that could help me and it will be easier for me to find it if there was a filter for files

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/destroy8 votes -
API response should contain descriptive error messages for actions that are forbidden
When I try to hide a Tweet in a thread that wasn’t started by the authenticating user, I get the response:
(
[title] => Forbidden
[type] => about:blank
[status] => 403
[detail] => Forbidden
)I understand that this action should actually be forbidden, but the error in the API response doesn't tell me why the action is forbidden (which is that the authenticating user is trying to hide a Tweet in a thread that wasn't started by the authenticating user)

Build an API to create and retrieve Tweet threads
Tweet threads have become increasingly popular over the past few years. This API would enable developers to tap into the potential of threads by programmatically creating threads, as well as retrieving all Tweets in a thread.

Get archive data through API
Why couldn't we get our own data archive through API calls ?
Instead of having to download the whole archive (which is really heavy), it can be interesting to have several endpoints where we could request all the data between two dates for the authenticated user.2 votes -
"Followers you know" in Get labs/2/users expansions
In the app or on the web, we can access to the list of "Followers you know" of another user. It could be nice to have this information in expansions too.

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 ?
