A more relevant link would probably be this one: http://seriot.ch/abusing_twitter_api.php#4


Was hoping for "undocumented"(ie. unreleased, unpublished) Twitter API endpoints.

Found regular API endpoints minus any useful documentation.


This document documents official endpoints (green for POST, blue for GET).

It also documents "secret", unofficial, undocumented elsewhere and unsupported endpoints.

These "secret" endpoints were found by reverse-engineering Twitter.app for iOS.


I'd say this is a nice little cheatsheet. Which is useful at times, but I agree - this title is misleading.

Edit: The far right has a key, and just below is a box that has a few undocumented items.


Look at the colours - the grey ones are the undocumented endpoints.


Can anyone tell what the `/vit` endPoints are?

Are they endPoints reserved to whitelisted clients?

e.g. `/followers/list.json` vs `/followers/vit/list.json`


I like the document style, anyone know if/how this was generated?
