[twitter-dev] @Anywhere JavaScript API Status?

2011-04-25 Thread DustyReagan
Looks like the documentation for the @Anywhere JavaScript API is down
http://platform.twitter.com/js-api.html. What does that mean for the
status of the JavaScript API?

Hi Dusty,

The Javascript API is still undocumented and unsupported -- the only
production-ready elements of @Anywhere that are officially supported are the
simple basics documented at http://dev.twitter.com/anywhere/begin -- there
are a number of developers who can offer some experience-oriented guidance
on the @Anywhere mailing list with the extended features at
http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-dev-anywhere

But anything beyond the features noted on dev.twitter.com are considered
internals to the official @Anywhere platform and subject to change at any
time. It's not really recommended at this time to pursue this avenue of
development and instead to use server-side integrations for anything more
complicated than what @Anywhere or Web Intents offer. The document at
http://platform.twitter.com/js-api.html was meant to display a snapshot of
what could be possible with a JS-centric API but was never meant to be an
official platform offering.

It might be time for Twitter's engineering and business development
teams to have a pow-wow about API road maps. There has to be a balance
struck at some point over how much unsupported and undocumented
and experimental work a company as small as Twitter can get away
with, given the size of some of the big dogs Twitter runs with these
days. Have a look at the names that are above Twitter in the Alexa Top
Sites rankings, for example. ;-)
