packs

Social network X (formerly Twitter) launched new top-up packs for its developer API program on Tuesday. Last year, Elon Musk curtailed free API access and released new paid tiers with the basic level starting at $100 per month. With the new top-up launch, the social network said that there are also limits to the number of upgrades developers can purchase. Developers with basic tier are capped at 10 top-ups and developers with pro tier are capped at 5 top-ups per month. The company’s alternations to its API rules also impacted researchers and their ability to study the platform’s data.
