Mmm. It's not going to happen though. Even this company have failed at standardising their own API.

Key for twitter: "twitter": Key for discord: "discordUsername":

Why are they inconsistent?! Who wrote this? Who signed off on it?!

Just send it with both "discord" and "discordUsername" for compatibility.

You could have different versions of the API that have a different requirements.
