Twitter to open Firehose to developers, Twitter apps at 50,000

Posted on by

Twitter’s Director of Platform Ryan Sarver announced today that Twitter is going to allow developers to access its core data stream called Firehose by early next year. Even though now developers are able to access twitter tweets and other data via twitter API, currently it is limited.

Twitter developers will get more power once the Firehose becomes publicly available. Sarver also said that total number of Web Applications based on Twitter API reached 50,000.

Twitter will be launching a new website for developers with dashboard and tutorials. Also Twitter is going to increase the current Twitter API OAuth request limits soon.
