Comparing X API’s Likes endpoints

These guides will focus on the following areas:

  • API request parameters - The X API v2 endpoint introduces a new set of request parameters. While some parameters will be familiar, especially for those integrating with Labs, there are many important differences such as the introduction of the fields and expansions parameters.
  • App and Project requirements - To access the X API v2, you will need to use credentials from a developer App that is associated with a Project
