Hey Dave, thanks for sharing!
This certainly changes things, as Napcat we still aim at listening to the best tweets and API is the best way of doing this in order to convert the noise into trading signal.
We have already plans to subscribe in the paid service so from that perspective its not much that has changed on our end. This is also good for us as it means we will get better than standard rate limits which is important for our users.
Best
Denis
And so it begins....
https://twitter.com/TwitterDev/status/1621026986784337922Starting February 9, we will no longer support free access to the Twitter API, both v2 and v1.1. A paid basic tier will be available instead
I guess Twitter really does not want people to use their service.
Slightly OT but how many projects came in existence because you could play around with the API for free and then turned into a real paid thing for the developers and a revenue stream for Twitter for the better API access.
Now, just to play around how many programmers are going to pay. My guess that unless it's a a paid project to develop things, not a lot.
