TLISTS is an API. It has three major aspects:
- Database: More than 1 million Twitter Lists, including the millions of associated with these Lists, their bios and recent tweets
- Directory: Hundreds of thousands of Lists, organized into ten major categories and several hundred sub-categories
- SuperList channels: Several hundred algorithmically-generated channels, which dynamically synthesize the Lists in each sub-category to create the consensus list of best Tweeters for any subject
We use this API for our own site, of course, but it was designed with developers in mind. We think the ideal place to find and follow a List of Tweeters is on whatever site or app you use to read tweets.
If you are a fan of a particular Twitter app or website that ought to be using the TLISTS search API, please let them know about us. (Our Twitter name is @tlists.)
If you are the developer of a Twitter app or website, you absolutely should use the TLISTS search API. To learn how, keep reading...
