Twitter delays shutdown of legacy APIs to August 16, makes Account Activity API generally available, reduces free Premium Sandbox subscriptions allowed to 15
again Gary Ng / iPhone in Canada Blog : Twitterrific: New Twitter API Cost of $2899/Month Not Financially Viable Mallory Locklear / Engadget : Twitter delays the shutdown of legacy notification APIs until August Jesse Hollington / iLounge : Twitter extends API shutdown deadline to August, third-party apps may still lose functionality Twitter : Enabling all developers to build on the Account Activity API Zac Hall / 9to5Mac : Twitter moves developer API change to August, third-party app future unclear Tweets: Jon Henshaw / @henshaw : Twitter became what it is thanks to 3rd party developers making apps with their API. Once they got to a place of market dominance, they crapped all over them with changes to their API. Now the developers that stuck it out are being fooled twice. http://daringfireball.net/... Mike / @sirstendec : Whenever I get annoyed at how lackluster Twitch's new API helix is, and how it's missing tons of things, and how they still seem keen on removing the good API at the end of the year with no time for third parties to adapt, remind me at least they're not Twitter. http://twitter.com/... Robert McNees / @mcnees : Reducing the functionality of 3rd party @Twitter clients seems like a bad move, imo. If you make those clients less useful, the segment of users that really depend on them will, by extension, find Twitter less useful. http://twitter.com/... Joaquim Vergs / @joenrv : Pretty sad about this announcement, not at all what I hoped for. They basically designed their API to make customer service chatbots, while making sure you can't use it for a normal client app use case... rip my dreams of full account activity in Falcon http://twitter.com/... Twitter Dev / @twitterdev : Today we're excited to announce the general availability of Account Activity API. Now developers can get started for free, upgrade to premium as they scale, and move to enterprise when they need even more subscriptions or enterprise functionality. https://developer.twitter.com/ ... Twitter Dev / @twitterdev : We're also making a change to our deprecation date for Site Streams, User Streams and legacy Direct Message endpoints. Those services, originally slated for retirement on June 19th, will be available until August 16th, 2018. http://blog.twitter.com/... Tom Warren / @tomwarren : Twitter screws the developers that helped build and shape Twitter once again http://twitter.com/...
