Twitter announces new API with free Basic and Enterprise tiers
Elon Musk-run Twitter has released a new paid API (Application Programming Interface) platform with free, basic, and enterprise tiers.
The company shared the information on Twitter via its Twitter Dev account: “Today we’re launching our new Twitter API access levels! We’re excited to share more details about our self-service capabilities.”
Initially, the company had planned to shut down free access to its API on February 9, but later extended the deadline to February 13 and then moved it again.
Additionally, the three tiers include a free basic tier that is primarily for content submission bots, a $100 monthly tier, and an expensive enterprise tier.
In addition, subscribing to any tier includes access to the Ads API at no additional cost to the company.
“We’re introducing a new form of free (v2) access for write-only use and for those testing the Twitter API with 1,500 tweets/month at the application level, media download endpoints, and logging in with Twitter,” the company said.
The company launched the Basic (v2) tier for “enthusiasts with 10,000 GET/month and 50,000 POST/month, two app IDs and login with Twitter for $100/month”.
In addition, the microblogging platform encouraged businesses or scaled commercial ventures to apply for its Enterprise tier to get managed services, full streams and access to their specific needs.
It also stated that old access tiers such as Standard (v1.1), Essential and Elevated (v2) and Premium will be phased out over the next 30 days.
