4 * [Using the APIs](help/api)
8 Friendica provides the following endpoints defined in the [official Twitter API reference](https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/api-reference-index).
10 Authentication is the same as described in [Using the APIs](help/api#Authentication).
14 These endpoints use the [Friendica API entities](help/API-Entities).
16 ## Different behaviour
18 * `screen_name`: The nick name in Friendica is only unique in each network but not for all networks. The users are searched in the following priority: Friendica, StatusNet/GNU Social, Diaspora, pump.io, Twitter. If no contact was found by this way, then the first contact is taken.
19 * `include_entities`: Default is "false". If set to "true" then the plain text is formatted so that links are having descriptions.
21 ## Friendica-specific return values
23 * `cid`: Contact id of the user (important for "contact_allow" and "contact_deny")
24 * `network`: network of the user
26 ## Unsupported parameters
30 * `contributor_details`
32 * `display_coordinates`
33 * `include_rts`: To-Do
34 * `include_my_retweet`: Retweets in Friendica are implemented in a different way
