Provide developers with an API testing console
As a new developer, I want a lightweight way to make an API call within the documentation with little setup involved. I need to see and evaluate quickly what a request and response looks like for a specific endpoint.

Consistency for "Likes" and "Favorites"
Language consistency would be helpful.
API Representation uses "favorites", but the current Twitter interface uses "likes".
In the documentation for "Account Activity API" notes "likes", while in "Search Tweets" notes as "favorites".
Perhaps not all of us are aware that "favorites" is a precedent of "likes".

Recommend and endorse a good Twitter library
Twitter could include a list of approved Twitter libraries for different programming languages in the documentation. This would equip developers with robust resources and help them know which resources they can rely on to use the Twitter API.

Create hackathons to empower young people
Identify the needs for self-improvement that young people publish, segmenting them by themes, using sentiment analysis to quantify in percentage the positive perspective they have about it (the negative or neutral could also be deduced), thereby launching collaborative training programs with non-profit organizations

Provide developers with an app usage tracking tool
Twitter could include a tool in the developer portal that enables developers to monitor and manage usage across the different APIs, and helps them avoid unexpected rate limiting.
5 votesWe are planning to add additional usage metrics to the developer portal for some of our newer products soon

Card Validator: Display all meta-tags?
Description of issue: Could the Card Validator be updated to show all the meta-tags? As it is, it shows the count of metatags, and a somewhat interesting one, like this:
INFO: Page fetched successfully
INFO: 23 metatags were found
INFO: twitter:card = summary_large_image tag found
INFO: Card loaded successfully
My request: It would be helpful to display all the tags, not justtwitter:card.Extra credit: Highlight the tags that Twitter will actually use in the card. This would be helpful when similar tags are present, e.g.,
twitter:text:titleandtwitter:titleURL affected (must be public): https://lochlymelodge.com

Data Fixtures for Twitter API's
Building applications on top of API's are always harder to test. The API's evolve, causing unencountered responses and downtimes.
App developers are usually late in identifying failure cases when things breakdown. It is why we write tests.But with hundreds of API's collecting data for tests is duplication of efforts if someone already have done that.
To make life easier for all developers, how about a collaborative space where we can dump our data fixtures (Github?)
I would be glad to contribute as we have been working with Twitter API for the past eight years and have written thousands of…
