Twitter made a number of API changes earlier this month that will directly affect how external platforms can access the social network. The delay is the result of “efforts to create an optimal experience for the developer community,” according to Twitter.
The business asserts that there is “immense enthusiasm” for the impending changes to the Twitter API.
Twitter announced earlier this year that it would stop allowing developers to make third-party clients for the social network using its API. Twitter will continue to prohibit developers from producing third-party clients, even for those who pay. Although the reason for Twitter’s decision to postpone API changes is unknown, the company may have been prompted to do so by the negative reception to recent announcements.
The updates to Twitter’s API come as the company is having trouble maintaining its revenue due to a decline in advertisers.
