Twitter Launches New API Tier For Startups, Costs $5,000 Per Month

Elon Musk-run Twitter has launched a brand new API (Application Programming Interface) tier known as — “Twitter API Pro” for startups that costs $5,000 per month.

With the tier, developers will be able to fetch one million tweets per month, post 3,00,000 tweets per month, and gets access to the full archive search endpoint.

“Today we are launching our new access tier, Twitter API Pro,” Twitter Dev tweeted on Thursday.

“Experiment, construct, and scale your online business with 1M Tweets monthly, together with our highly effective real-time Filtered/Stream and Full Archive Search endpoints,” it added.

Several users expressed their thoughts on this development on Twitter.

“That’s cool, but you already killed most Twitter apps by now. And 5K is still too much for most of us. A 1K plan could make sense… but then again it’s too late,” a consumer commented.

“5k is like half of our month-to-month price range as a startup… fairly out of contact pricing,” one other consumer mentioned.

Moreover, one more user mentioned, “No developer will ever trust Twitter again”.

In March, Twitter launched its new paid API platform with free, fundamental, and enterprise entry tiers.

These three ranges embrace a fundamental ‘free’ degree primarily meant for content material posting bots, a $100 monthly ‘basic’ degree, and an costly ‘enterprise’ degree.
