chirp--fluid">Twitter + Developers <br/> </span></h3> <p>Twitter loves developers. We’re delighted and amazed by the tools and services this community creates by harnessing the power of Twitter data. As part of our commitment to this community, we aim to provide data access that is open and fair for developers, safe for people on Twitter, and beneficial for the Twitter platform as a whole. To further these goals we’ve crafted the Developer Policy as a guide to help people understand our rules and expectations about appropriate API and Twitter Content usage.</p> <p>This Developer Policy (“Policy”) provides rules and guidelines for developers who interact with Twitter’s ecosystem of applications, services, website, web pages and content. It is part of your contract with Twitter governing access to and use of the Twitter API and Twitter Content (either as part of the Developer Agreement or other written agreement with Twitter). Policy violations are considered violations of your agreement. This Policy may be changed from time to time without notice. Capitalized terms used in this Policy, which are not defined in this Policy, will have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230315095310/https://developer.twitter.com/en/developer-terms/agreement" rel="nofollow">Developer Agreement</a> or the Master License Agreement.</p> </div> </div> <div class="b27-spacing"> <div class="b27 twtr-spacing--mbf-600"> </div></div> <div class="b09-scroll-anchor"> <span class="b09" id="1-b"> </span> </div> <div class="b02-rich-text-v3"> <div class="b02-v3 twtr-rte-v3 twtr-scribe-clicks-within chirp--regular-200 twtr-color--black twtr-component-space--md"> <h3><span class="chirp--bold-400 chirp--fluid">Using this policy<br/> </span></h3> <p>We’ve structured this policy to make it as easy to follow as possible. Please keep information from the following policy sections top of mind as you use the Twitter API and Twitter Content:</p> <ol><li><b>Set Yourself Up for Success</b> - You are responsible for complying with all Twitter policies. It’s important that you review and understand this Policy, as well as the policies we link to in this document, before you access the Twitter API and Twitter Content. The time spent reviewing our policies may save you hours of rework down the road.</li><li><b>Privacy and Control are Essential</b> - Protecting and defending the privacy of people on Twitter is built into the core DNA of our company. As such, we prohibit the use of Twitter data in any way that would be inconsistent with people’s reasonable expectations of privacy. By building on the Twitter API or accessing Twitter Content, you have a special role to play in safeguarding this commitment, most importantly by respecting people’s privacy and providing them with transparency and control over how their data is used.</li><li><b>Follow the Platform Usage Guidelines</b> - Getting approved to access the Twitter API and Twitter Content is just the first step. Our Platform Usage Guidelines should be your first stop anytime you have questions about how to ensure policy compliance for your planned use of the Twitter platform.</li></ol> <p>We’ve provided a lot more detail on what each of these three key sections mean below. Please review them carefully to ensure that your usage of the Twitter API and Twitter Content is consistent with our policies. </p> <p>If we believe you are in violation of this Policy (or any other Twitter policy), we may suspend or permanently revoke your access to the Twitter API and Twitter Content. If this happens to you, do not apply for or register additional API keys. Instead, contact us via the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230315095310/https://help.twitter.com/forms/platform" rel="nofollow">API Policy Support form</a>. </p> <p>Finally, please note that Twitter may monitor your use of the Twitter API to improve the Twitter Applications, to examine any commercial use, and to ensure your compliance with your approved use case and this Policy.</p> <p>Thanks for reading, and thank you for building with us!

As part of this process, you’ll need to provide us with a written description of your intended uses of the Twitter API and Twitter Content.</p> <p>Your use case description is binding on you, and any substantive deviation from it may constitute a violation of our rules and result in enforcement action. You must notify us of any substantive modification to your use case and receive approval before you may begin using Twitter Content for that new purpose.
