I know that had been the case, but thought that Twitter had ceased or was
in the process of further curtailing that access.

Additionally, it seems I fibbed about the Firehose, sorry for the misstep
on that one.  These endpoints are those exposed by the Hosebird Client that
Twitter provides in their library.  GetTwitter effectively just wraps this
library in the NiFi framework.

In the case of 3rd parties, is the API the same as that which Twitter
publishes?  What is the mechanism by which a client gets authenticated with
such resources?

Apologies again for misspeaking on the Firehose endpoint.
