olalonde on March 30, 2023 | parent | context | favorite | on: The Twitter API is now effectively unmaintained

Given the amount of bad predictions and misinformation regarding post-acquisition Twitter, I'd take this with a grain of salt. Remember that many on HN thought that Twitter would literally stop operating shortly after the first rounds of layoffs[0].

As expected, Twitter announces a v2 API just hours ago: https://twittercommunity.com/t/announcing-new-access-tiers-f...

Not the kind of announcement you typically expect from an unmaintained API!

The v2 API was built over the last several years. It’s not new and was announced a long time ago, well before the acquisition.

Source: led the search API at Twitter until last year.
