We know that Elon Musk is aiming to quickly monetize Twitter, but there are solutions that seem a little more daring and contrary to the industry. social media. After announcing the end of support for third-party apps, Twitter confirmed that developers would have to pay to access an application programming interface (API), a set of libraries that developers can use.

It was the official Twitter Dev account that announced this new form of business on the social network, explaining that versions 1.1 and 2 of the Twitter API would have a usage fee on top of the basic plan.

“Twitter data is one of the most powerful datasets in the world. We are committed to providing quick and complete access so you can continue to build with us.” indicates a social network. “We’ll be back with more details on this topic next week.”

Twitter, more and more “paid”

Recent changes to Twitter access have sparked controversy, dramatically changing how the platform has been conceived over the years and how content becomes relevant. In this case, it’s about total access control to building third-party apps and integrating features from the core that can reach other solutions that exponentially improve the basic Twitter experience in a certain way.

For starters, third-party apps like Tweetbot, Hootsuite, or Fenix ​​often add features that improve navigation, mentions, content previews, and interaction between users. With this measure, developers must increase the cost of the app or subscription to offset the investment.

On the other hand, environments that allow you to sign in with Twitter will also have to pay for continued use of this key and access to third-party services, such as those that allow you to track topics in real time or schedule posts. If you are still using your Twitter account to access other programs through “Sign in with Twitter”, we recommend that you change your credentials.

The measure will be introduced from February 9, and developers who have not paid for the use of the API will lose this access. Currently, enterprise access to the Twitter API allows a total of 500 server requests for $149 per month. If your application requires up to 10,000 requests, the price increases to $2,499 per month.

This, at first glance, may cover large companies that need access to the Twitter API and the availability of additional features. However, this could jeopardize student initiatives and non-profit projects seeking to add low-cost solutions to improve data access.
