Earlier this year, Twitter announced several changes to its API after it banned developers from creating third-party apps with it. Along with these changes, the company introduced paid tiers for the API and a free version with many limitations. Now, according to the information received, Twitter has officially stopped its free API support.
Twitter officially cuts support for free API
Twitter first announced its API in 2006. Day by day, he took various steps to improve the API platform and added new features to the platform. Before Elon Musk bought Twitter, developers used Twitter to access APIs and use the platform for free.
But that changed when the company announced that developers would need to sign up for a paid tier to access the API. After the news, a discussion broke out among many developers. In recent days, there has been a lot of news that the company will cut free API support. According to the news today, Twitter has officially discontinued its free API support.
The removal of the free API has also affected applications and websites that use the Twitter API to enable Twitter content sharing. For example, WordPress reported on Tuesday that it can no longer access the API. This caused websites to not be able to automatically share posts on Twitter.
With all this, it turned out that developers who want to pay for the new API are also facing problems. How and when the company will solve these problems remains unclear for now.
