Twitter announces their new API with free, basic and enterprise levels

After shutting down the free API access, Twitter finally announced its new API pricing structure. These three tiers include a free tier aimed primarily at content posting bots, a $100/month basic tier, and an expensive enterprise tier. According to the company, access to the Ads API is free for any level of subscription.

The story of the Twitter API began in February when the company announced that free access to the API would end in a few days. After heavy criticism, Elon Musk said the company would offer a free tier to bots that provide “good content.” He later said the basic tier would start at $100 a month without elaborating on the level of access. After more than 45 days, the company finally provided information about its new API.

The new API offering looks like a money grab. The free tier gives you access to just 1,500 post requests per month and sign in with Twitter. The base level, considered “Enthusiast/Student”, provides 50,000 post requests and 10,000 read requests per month per app. Developers who want access to more data should apply for Enterprise Access.

Previously, with the introduction of v2 in 2020, Twitter offered multiple access tiers to developers such as Essential and Elevated, giving them access to between 500,000 and 2 million tweets per month. App makers that fall into that usage category are currently required to subscribe to an Enterprise plan.
