How to answer queries when applying for Developer Access from Twitter

Micheal A edited this page Oct 24, 2020 · 1 revision

During the application process, Twitter will ask a couple of questions to be able to determine your use case and if it is viable enough for them to grant you the required access.

You should preferably apply as a "hobbyist"

You will have to answer the following questions below, please find suggestions below each question in italics. PLEASE DO NOT COPY AND PASTE. Try to use your own words otherwise if many of us apply with identical information we stand the risk of not being approved:

The core use case, intent, or business purpose for your use of the Twitter APIs. Say that the application will covert twitter long threads/conversations into ane single epub/pdf/ document where it is easier to consume or save for future read.

**If you intend to analyze Tweets, Twitter users, or their content, share details about the analyses you plan to conduct, and the methods or techniques. ** Say here that no users or tweets or content will be analysed for any reason.

If your use involves Tweeting, Retweeting, or liking content, share how you’ll interact with Twitter accounts, or their content. Again state here that no tweeting, retweeting, liking or sharing of content will be performed.

If you’ll display Twitter content off of Twitter, explain how, and where, Tweets and Twitter content will be displayed with your product or service, _including whether Tweets and Twitter content will be displayed at row level, or aggregated._ State that content will not be displayed on any other site or application. That only threads will be concatenated into single epub/pdf files to make it easier to be read later. Also state that It is not a commercial product. It is an open source collaborative project for beginner software developers.

If you follow these guiding principles you should hopefully get approved.
