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?!

Oh, and for GitHub you provide a url but for twitter and discord it's just the username?! But the twitter handle has to be prefixed with @. Why?!

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

Years later, we're still trying to figure out which is deprecated and which is the "correct" field

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