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 $100 monthly fee.
A new form of free access will be introduced as this is extremely important to our ecosystem – limited to Tweet creation of up to 1,500 Tweets per month for a single authenticated user token, including Login with Twitter.
Also on February 13, we will deprecate the Premium API. If you’re subscribed to Premium, you can apply for Enterprise to continue using these endpoints.
This is a new chapter for the Twitter API to increase quality, reduce spam, and enable a thriving ecosystem. We appreciate your patience as we implement these changes and we can’t wait to see what you build next! Stay tuned for more information on continued Twitter API access.
@TwitterDev I hope you realize instead you’re actually losing publishers interest in platform. Blizzard just released emergency patch to wow tonight to remove all traces of twitter integration. Other companies will follow. Congrats on running the devs off platform that helped build it
@TwitterDev It was SO HARD to get approval for any type of premium API access when I tried in May 2022. What about a student/experimental access plan that will allow for the next generation of coders to interact with Twitter’s platform under certain assumptions of use & verified safety?
@TwitterDev Looking forward to the docs. I was unable to use the api last night, but this morning readonly use seems functional. Presuming a 'new' API will be less load and more efficient, I'll be glad to retool once I know the new deets...
@TwitterDev 👍 Like these new updates although 100$ per month seems too steep for small apps . But including Ads API in the basic tier makes it somewhat a better deal.
@TwitterDev Bots posting earthquake and tsunami information in Japan are a critical infrastructure. These are posted with high frequency, but they are non-profit. So, why don't you provide free and unlimited APIs to bots that have passed your screening and are in the public interest?
@TwitterDev Guys we literally just got billed for API access through to March - are you saying even though you’ve charged you are turning off the API for hundreds of our brand customers without a quick pathway to Enterprise?
@TwitterDev What we build next is a safe and free platform for all as we abandon this sinking ship
@TwitterDev a new chapter of breaking the site come on, you're webdevs, you know about puppeteer and selenium and whatnot. spam bots aren't using a revokable API key. ah well. the enshittification continues.
