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.
@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.
@racheline_m @TwitterDev You're paying already lmao
@racheline_m @TwitterDev How many actual people tweet more than 1500 times a day though? I only really think bots and huge corporations (who can absolutely afford to pay for enterprise treatment) would be affected by this. Then obviously spam accounts would be slowed down a bit too.
@racheline_m @TwitterDev "No one wants to pay for a site "
@racheline_m @TwitterDev This makes me less likely to pay, also.
