We’re also making a change to our deprecation date for Site Streams, User Streams and legacy Direct Message endpoints. Those services, originally slated for retirement on June 19th, will be available until August 16th, 2018. blog.twitter.com/developer/en_u…

Site Streams and User Streams are being replaced by the Account Activity API which is now available in our developer portal. Developers without access can apply for an account to begin their migration. Please refer to our migration guide. developer.twitter.com/en/docs/accoun…

There’s no streaming connection capability as is used by only 1% of monthly active apps. Also there's no home timeline data. We have no plans to add that data to Account Activity API or create a new streaming service. However, home timeline data remains accessible via REST API.

Now that a version of the Account Activity API that delivers a full set of activities is generally available, the beta that delivered only Direct Messages will also be deprecated on August 16th, 2018.

We are also changing the number of subscriptions available for free to 15, down from the 35 that was available during the beta. This change will be effective today. pic.twitter.com/QMjWabaHrk

The Direct Message endpoints on the REST API have been replaced with newer, more functional endpoints and developers can migrate now. The legacy endpoints will be deprecated at the same time as User Streams and Site Streams on August 16th, 2018. developer.twitter.com/en/docs/direct…

We have resources that detail the changes that are being made. These resources describe the best way to keep your solutions up and running, including links to documentation, migration guides, a playbook, and a video series. developer.twitter.com/en/docs/accoun…

Please reconsider the streaming. 1% might seem small until you consider power laws and how they’re probably your biggest power-users. Don’t break third party apps.

is screwing over users and developers with this. @tweetbot, @tweetings, @Twitterrific, @AeriesWindows, @FeniceWindows and @fenix_app are all affected by this. apps-of-a-feather.com Fucking over devs is not the way to go. #BreakingMyTwitter twitter.com/TwitterDev/sta…

Looks like @TwitterDev is trying to kill off third-party clients again, by replacing the APIs they all use and making the (inferior) replacements essentially unaffordable to use at scale. twitter.com/TwitterDev/sta…

@jack Don’t do this. This will kill Twitter Mac clients that many users rely on when lacking a native Mac Twitter application.

I hope twitter goes out of business when you keep screwing over developers and alienating your most active users. You’ll have to pry Tweetbot and Twitterrific out of my cold dead hands. I will never use Twitter app.

this is a bad plan. a terrible plan. great plan to drive away the people who make twitter great.

lol you jerk

I don't get why you have so much disdain for your most active and loyal users.
