Today we are launching our new Twitter API access tiers! We’re excited to share more details about our self-serve access. 🧵
A colleague reported that their key stopped working.
#NoResearchWithoutAPI
We started to receive emails from Twitter saying that our app had been suspended from accessing the API. The app is still working, for now.
#NoResearchWithoutAPI
We will keep you updated as soon as we have more information. In the meantime we are working on some workaround. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

Digital spaces that become non-auditable will never be safe spaces #NoResearchWithoutAPI
.@twitterdev finally announced the new Twitter API access tiers. Sadly, it’s no longer feasible to build tools and perform research using the API. This change will affect all our research projects and tools, including @botometer, Hoaxy, and Fakey.

None of my past research had been possible was it not for the easy access to Twitter's API. It is a detrimental move that hampers our understanding of how social media informs political opinion and vice versa. #NoResearchWithoutAPI

Check out our open letter in response to Twitter's API announcement. In short, the change will kill most research projects/tools around Twitter.

Come on @TwitterDev - don't discontinue free academic access to the twitter API. I mine tweets for #COVID and #climatechange research. Please reconsider! #NoResearchWithoutAPI
If we, as researchers, can't study the misinformation jungle that Twitter is, this is going to get wild, too wild. #NoResearchWithoutAPI
My guess, this "basic access" is not enough for most research projects, the $100 monthly fee is too high for 95% of the researchers.
If we want to keep the whole Twitter research body and community alive, we will have to start considering alternatives.
#NoResearchWithoutAPI
It's confirmed, the academic research API access for Twitter will be gone after Feb 13 🪦
It will be replaced by the $100/month "basic access." Details coming on Monday.

Check out the latest paper from our lab, forthcoming in @jmirpub !
(Yet another example of research that could not and will not happen without access to the @Twitter @TwitterAPI from @TwitterDev)

‼️ New paper alert ‼️
Twitter has reinstated many anti-vax influencers recently. What are the potential implications? Our paper “One year of COVID-19 vaccine misinformation on Twitter” provides some insights.

Have you used our tools such as @Botometer, Hoaxy, and Fakey? They will stop working soon once @Twitter discontinues free access to the API. This decision will affect many research projects and useful tools including those by @OSoMe_IU.

We join other research centers in the Knight Research Network (@knightfdn) doing related work who posted similar threads articulating the many ways the @TwitterDev decision will harm research. @JosephineLukito's compilation: https://t.co/fm9k1c2NCF

Writings from the Knight Research Network (@knightfdn) on the potential loss of Twitter API access (@TwitterDev):
(Will add progressively) 1/n
NB: bots use the @Twitter API to WRITE content, but most research projects/tools use the API to READ data. To fight bad bots (https://t.co/aDAn9SDSIY) @elonmusk could charge for writing, while keeping the read API free for researchers, journalists, etc!

@BillyM2k @ericnakagawa Yeah, free API is being abused badly right now by bot scammers & opinion manipulators. There’s no verification process or cost, so easy to spin up 100k bots to do bad things.
Just ~$100/month for API access with ID verification will clean things up greatly.
