#TwitterAPIFees

Twitter charges exorbitant fees for API access, killing third-party apps and bots.

Origin & Impact

In February 2023, Twitter announced API access would cost $42,000/month minimum, devastating third-party developers, researchers, and bot creators. Popular apps like Tweetbot and Twitterrific shut down. Weather bots, transit alerts, and research tools disappeared. The move prioritized revenue over ecosystem health, eliminating services that made Twitter useful for many communities.
