The Twitter API is a proprietary API for accessing Twitter content and services.
Twitter for iOS
Twitter for iOS (in Apple's App Store) is an official "native" client app provided by Twitter.com
Custom API root
The Twitter iOS client has an option to use a different API root, "intended for a Twitter proxy server".
It may be theoretically possible to re-implement enough of the Twitter API on your own site to set your own site as a "Twitter proxy server" and thus use the Twitter client as a client to post directly to your own site (and perhaps read from it as well).
