About to present my keynote at the Social Media Access Days in Frankfurt, revisiting our discussion about the 2018 #APIcalypse nearly a decade later. Slides are up already on my blog ! #SMAD2026

Facebook closed its API long ago, pretending it was because of Cambridge Analytica (but the real reason was commecial), shutting down many research projects on social media.

Just thinking back to 2016 when r/thedonald was constantly making its way to the top of reddit for years and none of the team at reddit did anything.
Now with these API changes and devs/users making posts actively complaining about what a bad choice it is and how folks are planning to leave reddit en-masse, you barely hear about them despite the threads being heavily upvoted (usually up to something like 100k+ upvotes - usually 3k is enough to get a thread to the frontpage).
I look back on that shitshow in 2016 with even more pennies dropping.

Yes, Twitter API is still available for free. Current free access tiers will be deprecated over the next 15 days. #APIcalypse is coming…

I've decided to make some sense of the burning trashcan called #TwitterAPI: https://superface.ai/blog/twitter-api-new-plans
(Also what are the appropriate hashtags here? #botpocalypse? #APIcalypse? Jeez, it's just Twitter, not the end of the world.)

$100 per month for read & write API access: https://twitter.com/TwitterDev/status/1623467617037221889
Free access now to end on 13 February.

We’ll be back with more details on what you can expect next week.
Two days until #APIcalypse and all we know is that -maybe- it’ll be $100/month for <unknown> or that “good content bots” will be free.
Glad I’m not looking after something that uses the API for a company. Can you imagine trying to get a purchase order for “Uh, well, dunno yet? Maybe $100/month?”
Yo, companies, move to the Fedi, there are fewer idiot billionaires ruining the place.

Continuing this #twitter #apicalypse topic. I just had two very successful coding days. I implemented and tested two new features into our Tweetsearcher tool: bounding box and user timeline searches for a given time period.
Lesson learned: modular code is awesome

Oh YEAH, #Nitter will survive #APICalypse because it doesn't depend on #birdsite #API

The "announcement" of @TwitterDev stopping the free level API access next week leaves a lot of questions. F.e. will this affect websites using Twitter/OAuth for their login? I guess so… madness!
PS: I haven't used hashtag #APIcalypse since 2018! 🤣 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1621178198443851776
