# Twitter API

* [Home](help)
  * [Using the APIs](help/api)

## Overview

Friendica provides the following endpoints defined in the [official Twitter API reference](https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/api-reference-index).

Authentication is the same as described in [Using the APIs](help/api#Authentication).

## Entities

These endpoints use the [Friendica API entities](help/API-Entities).

## Different behaviour

* `screen_name`: The nick name in Friendica is only unique in each network but not for all networks. The users are searched in the following priority: Friendica, StatusNet/GNU Social, Diaspora, pump.io, Twitter. If no contact was found by this way, then the first contact is taken.
* `include_entities`: Default is "false". If set to "true" then the plain text is formatted so that links are having descriptions.

## Friendica-specific return values

* `cid`: Contact id of the user (important for "contact_allow" and "contact_deny")
* `network`: network of the user

## Unsupported parameters

* `cursor`
* `trim_user`
* `contributor_details` 
* `place_id`
* `display_coordinates`
* `include_rts`: To-Do
* `include_my_retweet`: Retweets in Friendica are implemented in a different way

    - Unsupported parameter:
        - `skip_status`: No status is returned even if it isn't set to true.
    - Caveats:
        - `cursor` trumps `since_id` trumps `max_id` if any combination is provided. 
        - `user_id` must be the ID of a contact associated with a local user account.
        - `screen_name` must be associated with a local user account.
        - `screen_name` trumps `user_id` if both are provided (undocumented Twitter behavior).
        - Will succeed but return an empty array for users hiding their contact lists.
