Yes, I'm using a third-party node library to simplify making calls. This for v2 npmjs.com/package/twitter-api-v2 and Twitjs for v1 endpoints.

I read somewhere that your team is also working on first party libraries, that would be awesome! Also are there plans for Twitter Text npmjs.com/package/twitter-text but for v2 endpoints? I'm currently working on same and planning to open-source, just want to know if you guys are also working on it.

We've certainly been thinking about building some libraries. The challenge is identifying which languages are most commonly used (I note that you're using JS). Definitely keep an eye on our news here. The community has created some really good libraries as well, as you have discovered.

For twitter-text, there should be no need for a different version - it is a text tokenizer, and the format of the text contents of Tweets themselves have not changed between v1.1 and v2, so the same logic will work. Let us know via the GitHub issues on that repo if there are specific questions about it (that comes from Twitter Engineering internally, rather than from our DevRel team, but we work together on things like this)

Got it, thanks!
