Twitterpocalypse Round 2

A couple of years after the first Twitterpocalypse, here comes the second.  Twitter are moving everything over to a new API and thus will be breaking a bunch of stuff buried in native applications.   

Of course, in true, tried and tested Twitter style while they've been running the old and new APIs side by side, they weren't all that forthcoming over the date they would switch off the old one.

Apparently it was a few hours ago.  Of course, anybody using the Viafo Gateway is completely insulated from the change, we already had made the switch over, and any applications using our APIs will continue to work as expected.  But how prepared were you? 

API Monitor goes alpha

​We've been working on making a piece of our technology available to everybody and today we're ready to go live with the early Alpha of our API Monitoring product.​

​Current oAuth status for major web services

One of the challenges we've faced is knowing when the 3rd party services we support breaks or changes in such a way that it would break our product, or a client's application.  We also wanted to know what latency levels the different social networks operate at.  As we didn't find what we were looking for, we went off and built it.  ​

Currently, we're showing you the averages for the last week.  But if you're interested in having more access and the ability to look at the performance of other APIs, then drop us a line at info@viafo.com to register your interest.​

The current version is monitoring a number of common web APIs, Social Networks and some carrier APIs.  Over the next few weeks we'll be adding more, and will be shortly launching a premium version.​
