It would be a good thing if, with this announcement, Twitter made a commitment for how this would have a support for the future.
Like "this will be available for x months/years, you can make x requests per minute/hour/day, you can buy a plan offering x for $x dollars" and so on.
Yes, that can limit some better offer in the future? Perhaps. But that make things more stable, and people would commit more to twitter.
Can you change your terms in the future? Of course. But for newer customers. The ones that sign up right now will have that promises kept. Good for everybody.
- andypiper 10y agoThat's a really good piece of feedback that I'll be sure to pass along. In terms of plans and pricing, we're not yet announcing those details, but stay tuned as the new APIs we reference in the two blog posts today mature. We'll continue to offer free access to the APIs as well.
- AznHisoka 10y agoWill the free Search API have lower rate limits than they are currently?
- andypiper 10y agoI cannot say definitively, but I don't believe there are plans to lower any limits. Additionally, given that the existing standard Search API has not been significantly enhanced in several years and the replacement is going to be based on the enterprise offerings, I'd expect the quality of the data to be a lot better than what you receive on the search endpoint today.
- woliveirajr 10y ago:) thanks for considering it. Now I'll just wait for my 2 cents :)
