Twitter Updates Its API To Give Third-party Clients Access To Likes Data And More

Twitter has slowly been upgrading its API after drastically stripping it down back in 2018. The company announced its new API last July and released it to developers shortly thereafter. Now, Twitter has announced an update to the API to bring two new features.

• First off, Twitter says that the API update adds support for showing who Liked a tweet. This is currently a limitation in third-party Twitter clients using the new API.
• Secondly, Twitter is upgrading the API to give third-party clients access block lists as well.
