Hey,

I don’t understand why one endpoint is called liking_users and another one retweeted_by .

Why not calling them :

  • liking_users and retweeting_users
    OR
  • liked_by and retweeted_by ?

Thanks for reaching out. My understanding was that the reason we made a decision was based on you act upon the event, so for some of our endpoints, it is a “stream” or “continuous” event. Therefore for Liking a Tweet, you are taking action on a discrete item: a Tweet. However, with Retweeting, on a distinct item, not a continuous stream. Therefore you are looking for users who have previously Retweeted a Tweet.

I have passed this feedback onto our API design team, and they will be exploring this suggestion as we look towards consistency in the future.

Thank you for all your feedback recently!

Best,
Jessica
