Re: [twitter-dev] Re: New Status Using A Query String

[Arnaud Meunier]

Hey there,

This has just been deployed. The old "status" endpoints are
now seamlessly redirected (HTTP 301) to the share intent. Please note that
we still encourage you to replace these old URLs (i.e.
http://twitter.com/?status=hello and http://twitter.com/home/?status=hello)
for the Share Intent (i.e. http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=hello)

[Arnaud Meunier]

Bumping this thread to give you guys the last update on this bug.

As you know, the "status" parameter is an old hack belonging to the
classic web version of twitter.com. On the other hand, Web Intents
were developed specifically for this purpose, they are optimized to
load quickly, they are mobile friendly, and we fully support them on
the API side.

We've heard your feedback: We know there are still many
implementations of the old "status" hack out there, and we understand
that it's painful to change all these URLs.

That's why we're going to seamlessly redirect these old endpoints to
the share intent. That will fix the issue with legacy integrations,
without requiring any changes on your side. Please note that we
encourage you to replace these old URLs for the Share Intent (that
will save an unnecessary 301 hit).

While we don't yet have an ETA for this change, we are getting closer
to rolling this out and wanted to give you as much advance notice as
we could.

Hey Dusty,

The "status" parameter option has not been removed. It's a bug that has been
filed, but I unfortunately don't have an ETA on a fix. This parameter is
part of the twitter.com website, which is constantly changing. On the API
side, we support Web Intents. That's why I recommended its use :)

Hope that helps,
Arnaud / @rno

So Intents are great, but are you officially deprecating the "?
status=" functionality? Because it's been in place and working for
years. We need to know if it's simply going to stop working one day.
Also, is today that day?
