Twitter’s new price tiers have already pushed researchers off the platform.
Twitter’s most affordable API tier, at $100 a month, would only allow third parties to collect 10,000 per month. That’s just 0.3 percent of what they previously had free access to in a single day, according to the letter. And even its “outrageously expensive” enterprise tier, the coalition argued, wasn’t enough to conduct some ambitious studies or maintain important tools.
publicly — to estimate how many bots were on the platform during his attempt to get out of the deal he made to buy Twitter. Now, his move to charge for API access could bring on Botometer’s demise.says that the tool will probably stop working soon. “We are actively seeking solutions to keep this website alive and free for our users, which will involve training a new machine-learning model and working with Twitter’s new paid API plans,” it says.
“The platform went from one of the most transparent and accessible on the planet to truly bottom of the barrel.” “Twitter’s API has been absolutely vital to the research that I’ve been doing for years now,” Tromble tells. And like Yang, she has to pivot in response to the platform’s new pricing schemes. “I’m simply not studying Twitter at the moment,” she says.
