So you want to add TWITTER to a project?

Thats nice and all, but you know.. twitter changed its APIs significantly in august and with those changes came new conditions.

If you want to develop something with twitter you need to sign up for a developer account.

Fair enough right?
Its easy peasy, no worries.

Just fill out the three pages of information regarding you, your project, and its purpose, where, how and by whom it will be used in which country and the project description must be at least 300 characters.

You consider this ironic given the limit of the message size on tweets? I sure did.

Twitter will get back to you via email some days later letting you know that you will need to provide further information.

Once you sent an in-detail description of your project they will contact you.

Oh they didn't? 
Too bad, you will have to ask for permission to use the precious APIs again, i guess.

After over a week of waiting twitter finally sent me their oAuth API credentials and i implemented the twitter import in an hour.

But this procedure gave me goosebumps. Especially that they referred to "their content from twitter" that i would use in my product. 

I will have to implement mastodon as well i guess.
