Awesome Modern Twitter API

A curated list of awesome libraries, SDKs, software and resources for the modern (post-v1.1) Twitter API.

The Twitter API is the programming interface that enables developers like you to build apps and tools on top of the Twitter Developer Platform. Version 2 of the API represented a complete rewrite from the legacy (v1.1) platform, with new endpoints, data formats, and semantics. This list only includes content that is directly relevant to the modern API.

This list is community-contributed, and it is not owned by Twitter. The list can only be even more awesome, with your help! Feel free to contribute, or add to the discussion around items that could be included in the future. Spotted a dead link, typo, or other mistake? Please raise an issue 🙌
