## What it is
A Go client library for the Twitter REST and Streaming API v1.1, providing typed services for timelines, tweets, search, users, followers, and streams. It was deprecated in November 2022 and is no longer developed.

## Use cases
- post tweets from a Go application
- read a user's home timeline via the Twitter API
- search tweets programmatically in Go
- consume the Twitter streaming firehose or filtered streams
- fetch follower and friendship data from Twitter

## When to choose
- you need to integrate the legacy Twitter API v1.1 in a Go project and can accept an unmaintained library

## When to avoid
- you need current Twitter/X API v2 support
- you need an actively maintained library with bug fixes
- you are starting a new project, since the library is deprecated

- maturity: abandoned
- function: http-client, sdk
