One of the most important use cases for the Twitter API has always been public utility. Verified gov or publicly owned services who tweet weather alerts, transport updates and emergency notifications may use the API, for these critical purposes, for free.

Thank you to those who have already migrated to our new API offerings. We hope you can continue to seamlessly use the Twitter API via our new access tiers. Learn more: developer.twitter.com

If you are a Twitter developer with a commercial use case, we recommend that you apply for our Enterprise tier. Enterprise Search and Account Activity API continue to be available to developers on that Enterprise tier. Apply here: shorturl.at/uwAKZ

On 3/29 we announced that deprecations across our legacy Twitter API access tiers would be completed by 4/29. Unwinding Premium is one step closer to full deprecation of those legacy tiers.

Today, we are deprecating our Premium v1.1 API, including Premium Search and Account Activity API.

🚨 If your developer account application was under review over the last few months, we kindly ask you to re-apply if you are interested in subscribing to our new Twitter API Free or Basic plans. Our new self-service process should enable you to get access in no time! 🙏

We recently partnered with

@Sprinklr

for an independent assessment of hate speech on Twitter, which we’ve been sharing data on publicly for several months. Sprinklr’s AI-powered model found that the reach of hate speech on Twitter is even lower than our own model quantified 🧵

Twitter is enforcing its long-standing API rules. That may result in some apps not working.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know

Currently it's all major third party clients not some. Also, it is unknown what long standing rules have been broken as no guidance has been provided to any API partner. And as the tweet notes, these rules have not changed. 9to5mac.com/2023/01/17/twi… developer.twitter.com/en/developer-t….

Context is written by people who use Twitter, and appears when rated helpful by others. Find out more.
