BirdBear is going on hiatus indefinitely due to twitter api pricing :(

[incanter of tations 🔦🥽 @ArghZero]

Sorry to report that @BirdBearApp is going on hiatus indefinitely. Twitter inc. has cut off birdbear's free tier api access, which means keeping the app alive will cost $100/month going forward, which is more than I can justify for a free hobby project.

[BirdBear @BirdBearApp]

@YahYeetYah7 it may be :(

i'm investigating, but it appears twitter has cut off birdbear's api access

[BirdBear @BirdBearApp]

birdbear's bookmark and like syncing should be working again! if you'd been having issues with syncing tweets into birdbear over the last few days this should fix it.
(gory details: twitter made change that affected the way birdbear gets tweets, birdbear is now updated to match)

[BirdBear @BirdBearApp]

@smileandnod Glad to hear it :)

[BirdBear @BirdBearApp]

@conan57031435 @_w_i_l_l_i_n_g_ @Twitter just click the download icon to the right of bookmarks or likes in the lefthand column to get a json file of your bookmarks/likes

[BirdBear @BirdBearApp]

@Just_Me_Gi Not that I know of but that’s an interesting idea! Looks like the api supports deleting bookmarks, but only 50 a minute. Maybe I’ll add a “live dangerously” mode where it tries to delete as many as it can once they’re saved into birdbear so that later syncs can get older ones

[BirdBear @BirdBearApp]

thanks to a helpful donation birdbear is scaled up and should be back to it's usual levels of responsiveness, lmk if you have any trouble with it

[BirdBear @BirdBearApp]

@growing_daniel You can use https://t.co/rfmKQK6F63 for searching tweets you’ve liked or bookmarked, being able to search every tweet you’ve seen would be amazing

[BirdBear @BirdBearApp]

@nickrw Definitely not the only one! Check out https://t.co/rfmKQK6F63

[BirdBear @BirdBearApp]

@hevromero i didn't know they limited it in the archive too, that's nuts. wish there was a permanent solution. in the meantime for likes going forward so long as you sync them into birdbear once in a while you should be able to keep them forever, i promise not to delete them!

[BirdBear @BirdBearApp]

you know how you bookmark tweets so you can find them again, but then when you try to actually find it again you realize there's no search button and you'd have to just scroll through pages and pages of tweets manually so you just give up and don't bother?

[BirdBear @BirdBearApp]

@jsauce7 Glad you liked it and found a way to work with the json! I’m working on adding more export formats to birdbear so that you’ll be able download a csv directly from the app but no eta yet. Will post on @BirdBearApp when it’s ready

[BirdBear @BirdBearApp]

@hevromero Hey, birdbear itself doesn’t but unfortunately twitter’s api is limited to retrieving about ~500 tweets so that’s all birdbear can retrieve at the moment. I’m working on something to let you import a Twitter archive into birdbear though, will post when it’s ready

[BirdBear @BirdBearApp]

tl;dr birdbear is overloaded and responding very slowly while everyone tries to backup their tweets at the same time. have added some extra capacity and am waiting on @flydotio support before i can add any more, bear with me! https://t.co/bxxKlPHcl4

[incanter of tations 🔦🥽 @ArghZero]

. @BirdBearApp's server is swamped atm, so decided to bite the bullet and pay for some extra server oomph.

unfortunately
@flydotio
's scaling has not been as magical as i'd hoped. getting a mysterious err msg saying my account is restricted and is refusing to scale up :/

[BirdBear @BirdBearApp]

woah, birdbear's server is struggling right now due to an influx of users after the elon drama! am working on adding more capacity, hang in there!

[BirdBear @BirdBearApp]

@writriverdale https://t.co/rfmKQK6F63 might help, it keeps a copy of all your bookmarks on your computer and in the cloud (and lets you search them too)

[BirdBear @BirdBearApp]

@_w_i_l_l_i_n_g_ @Twitter i tried to keep it to the minimum needed to be able to actually search bookmarks, right now that's these:

[BirdBear @BirdBearApp]
