Twitter has announced it will eliminate free API access for third-party developers. Some users are lamenting the changes this may have on the platform's culture, while others have expressed concerns about its effects on research.
The season of Twitter shakeups isn’t over yet. The social media platform has announced it will eliminate free API access for third-party developers. While the concept of an “API restriction” may not sound dramatic, this latest change has users once again worried about Twitter’s future. In simple terms, this means the site’s innumerable automated accounts will grind to a halt, unless the person in charge of them decides to pay for access.
Some people have used Twitter’s API to provide accessibility options to content, like alt text or image descriptions. Others, like thread readers or reminders, can help people save and revisit information on the site. How could restricting API access change Twitter? Since Twitter’s announcement, many of these accounts have made forlorn announcements that they will cease working once the policy goes into effect on February 9.
