I'm going to mark this is a duplicate of another request - feel free to add your comments on what you would use an API for, to that idea. Thanks! https://twitterdevfeedback.uservoice.com/forums/921790-twitter-developer-labs/suggestions/39678766-api-endpoint-for-getting-bookmarks

An error occurred while saving the comment Do you have any further context to share on how this would map to an API feature?
An error occurred while saving the comment There is no 3 day limit that I am aware of on the Twitter API - are you talking about the Premium API monthly subscription?

An error occurred while saving the comment Reminder that this site is aggregating *API* platform concepts.
Also that the current Notification Option experiment is an experiment.
Can you please explain how you would see your idea and comment being related to a future Twitter Developer API Platform feature?

An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks for this suggestion.
In the v1.1 trends API, this is currently available. Use the trends/place endpoint and set the WOEID value to "1" -> https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/trends/trends-for-location/api-reference/get-trends-place
We would be interested in discussion here about potential future versions of the Trends API, but we're unable to take specific ideas for the Twitter website or mobile apps via this channel.
At the moment the website has dropped the worldwide trends view as we improve the new version of Explore, but feel free to communicate how you would use it on this thread https://twitter.com/twittersupport/status/1245837034255577089

An error occurred while saving the comment With Twitter Developer Labs there are currently no changes to the authentication mechanism, so existing documentation and tutorials can be used. There are Ruby and Python examples on the Twitter Developer Relations GitHub organisation - e.g. see https://github.com/twitterdev/twauth-web and https://github.com/twitterdev/sign_in_with_twitter_sample. Happy to look into adding other examples for languages like Javascript as well.

An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks, this looks like a duplicate of the request for a Bookmarks API here
https://twitterdevfeedback.uservoice.com/forums/921790-twitter-developer-labs/suggestions/39678766-api-endpoint-for-getting-bookmarksSince this forum is intended for developer and API features, I'm going to close this one in favour of the API-related request. Thanks.

An error occurred while saving the comment We did revise the current list https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/developer-utilities/twitter-libraries.html a few weeks ago, covering the standard APIs (with a few with Ads API and premium API coverage)
We'll be looking to identify additional, up-to-date libraries that cover the new functionality supported by Labs as the endpoints graduate, so do let us know if you are aware of any!
An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks Joe - the interest in .NET Language support is noted. We're fortunate to have a couple of good third-party ones at the moment (as you know!) and as we expand the new API surface I'll see what we can do to support the developers.
An error occurred while saving the comment Absolutely. It might entail a cleanup of the current list (which is outdated), and some form of endorsement and/or closer relationship between Twitter and the library developers. If we were to partner with developers in 4-5 frameworks, which languages do you feel might be most valuable - apart from PHP? ;-)

An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks, I've moved this over the the Twitter Developer Labs category as it fits better there than under the policy section.

An error occurred while saving the comment Can you comment further on the reason that adding the expansion parameter for the user object is an issue? As things stand, this is how the Tweet and User APIs have been designed, to provide for more flexibility in data formatting and in the requests (and this is common across all of the current Labs endpoints). We can certainly consider adding more data to the Tweet object at "default" format level, but the data is already available with a single additional query parameter, so it's not clear what this would add. Thanks!

An error occurred while saving the comment I’m moving this to the general Developer Labs section as it does not relate only to academic research.

Note 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.An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks for this! Can you explain what this would enable, beyond using the search API to find Tweets referencing the original Tweet ID? What is the app idea or implementation scenario you've good in mind here if this was available?

Thanks 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.

An error occurred while saving the comment I'm curious to understand what you mean by sending a Tweet "to a group"? Can you provide more information and what you would like such an API to look like?

An error occurred while saving the comment You might like to check out our new Tweet metrics API in Twitter Developer Labs, as a starting point? https://twittercommunity.com/t/new-twitter-developer-labs-release-metrics-endpoint/129122
An error occurred while saving the comment Would an API for Tweet analytics be useful as an alternative to programmatic CSV downloads?

An error occurred while saving the comment Can you say more about why you believe geo information is not available at present?
Geo data is already available in the Twitter API. However, it is (intentionally) left to the user to decide when they choose to add location information to a Tweet, and historically the numbers of Tweets with location attached tends to be fairly low. Correspondingly, data sets that search based on location may not always return a very high number of matching Tweets.

An error occurred while saving the comment The streaming API (also known as statuses/filter) still exists and has exactly the same access criteria as previously. As part of the Labs efforts, we have announced plans to create a new version of this API in the future - see https://trello.com/c/Z8E40gpV/43-filtered-stream-labs
In my experience, the statuses/filter endpoint has been a very common way for researchers to gather data. Code that calls the statuses/filter endpoint continues to work just fine for collecting Tweets today.
You mention "removing streaming", and it's important to clarify that the functionality that was retired last year was *user* streams, which provided home timeline and notification streaming for user events. This has been partially replaced by the Account Activity API.
There are no current plans to build a direct replacement for user streams.
This is being worked on - https://trello.com/c/qztXMWCK/76-bookmarks-v2-twitter-api - please let us know what we can do to make this a great experience!
