According to a communiqué from Twitter, it will discontinue free usage of its API with effect from February 9, 2023. Elon Musk acquired the microblogging site in October 2022. The company said third-party services need to subscribe to the basic paid tier to access its API.
Allows for quicker access

It further claimed its data sets were the most powerful in the world. The company is committed to allowing comprehensive and faster access so that developers can continue to use it for quicker communications.
Researchers use the Twitter API to track misinformation
Third-party developers use APIs to fetch data from applications. They use the data to deliver new services. Twitter offers its API to developers in both paid and free versions. The API is used by several developers worldwide to share real-time alerts or reminders with some Twitter accounts. Researchers, on the other hand, use it to track the spread of misinformation and hate speech online.
Real-time alerts to journalists
Detemir, a news collection service, also uses the Twitter API to give real-time alerts to journalists on information posted on Twitter. Previously, third-party programs such as Twitterrific and Tweet bot were blocked by Twitter from accessing its API. The developers and users have informed Twitter about the non-usability of third-party apps. After being taken over by Musk last year for $44 billion in October 2022, the microblogging platform is engaged in cost-saving tactics and monetizing the platform.
Elon Musk is trying to recoup his investment in the microblogging platform. The company laid off around half of its workforce worldwide after he took over. He also introduced a verification badge for blue subscription products.
