A Twitter framework for iOS & macOS written in Swift, supporting multiple authentication protocols and API endpoints.
Swifter is a Swift framework for iOS and macOS that enables developers to integrate Twitter API functionality into their applications. It handles authentication, API requests, and JSON responses, providing a native interface for working with Twitter data. The project simplifies tasks like fetching timelines, posting tweets, and managing user interactions.
iOS and macOS developers building applications that require Twitter integration, such as social media clients, analytics tools, or automation apps.
Developers choose Swifter for its clean Swift-native API, support for multiple authentication methods, and type-safe JSON handling, which reduces boilerplate code and potential errors compared to raw API calls.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Provides a custom JSON class that simplifies data access without excessive optional chaining, as shown in the README example for accessing status text from timelines.
Uses tags like ListTag and UserTag to prevent incorrect parameter usage in API calls, reducing errors, demonstrated in methods like getUserFollowersIDs.
Supports ACAccount, OAuth, and App-Only authentication, offering flexibility for different iOS and macOS authentication scenarios, as outlined in the instantiation examples.
Includes endpoints for timelines, user data, lists, and status updates, making it suitable for building full-featured Twitter clients, though some features like streaming are deprecated.
The project is explicitly marked as deprecated with no updates, meaning it won't receive bug fixes, security patches, or support for new Twitter API changes.
Streaming API is based on Twitter's deprecated API and not aligned with the current Accounts Activity API, limiting real-time functionality for modern applications.
Being deprecated, it lacks community support, documentation updates, and may have compatibility issues with newer Swift versions or iOS SDKs.
