We have been busy with some updates to the Twitter API so you can continue to build and innovate with us. We’re excited to announce an extension of the current free Twitter API access through February 13. Here’s what we’re shipping then 🧵
Paid basic access that offers low level of API usage, and access to Ads API for a $100 monthly fee.
A new form of free access will be introduced as this is extremely important to our ecosystem – limited to Tweet creation of up to 1,500 Tweets per month for a single authenticated user token, including Login with Twitter.
Also on February 13, we will deprecate the Premium API. If you’re subscribed to Premium, you can apply for Enterprise to continue using these endpoints.
@TwitterDev This seems counterintuitive when the user content is the product
@TwitterDev People using this site for free, tweeting their content through the day, are why people are here. No one wants to pay for a site that has open contempt for its users and doesn’t understand its own value proposition.
@TwitterDev this is how you force people off your platform
@TwitterDev @YuiKannon So you limited links to other platforms, and now you're forcing people to pay for using a service you used to provide for free, besides some ads here and there ? You do know that you're self-destructing, right ? Right ?
@TwitterDev i've been on twitter since 2009 and had many accounts but now is time to say goodbye
@TwitterDev You’re only letting us tweet 1,500 a month?! That’s ridiculous.
