Twitter Launches Geotagging API

Twitter officially launched its geotagging application-program interface, platform director Ryan Sarver announced on the Twitter Blog.

Users can opt-in by clicking a box in their settings menu, and several third-party tools support the API.

Sarver’s post:

In August, we announced that we were working on a new API that would provide developers with the ability to geotag tweets. Today, the Geotagging API is officially available.

This release is unique in that it’s API-only, which means you won’t see any changes on twitter.com
