twitter api
@BaronD You can ask that from @eib but I'm not sure they're active any more. I've relayed at https://twitter.com/nemobis/status/1677781508910731264 . Currently #ResPublicae is still half broken due to #TwitterAPI changes but hopefully we're not missing alt text where available.

@egonw Seems a bit overkill: who's going to to crosslink proprietary identifiers other than Wikidata? (They could even be personal data, so it helps to have some indication of notability to override that.)
But maybe someone who's already collecting them (or has and doesn't mind losing #TwitterAPI access) could try #Wikibase (https://socialblade.com ?). Waive the #DatabaseRights on the SPARQL endpoint and see how long it takes until the source of 99 % of the PD data sues. Useful precedent!

@xor I also see more #TwitterAPI terminations this week: the source of @helsinkikuvaa went silent. :(
Let's see if the operator gets more interested in the fediverse now.

.@leloveluck@twitter.com hat für die @washingtonpost@twitter.com zusammengefasst, was für einen fatalen Effekt die Einschränkungen der @twitter@twitter.com API für die Arbeit von NGOs, für Demokratiearbeit und sogar das Retten von Menschenleben haben wird.

So it finally happened. The #TwitterAPI access used to update #ResPublicae was cut off, all requests get an HTTP 401 response. Some discussion at

It seems like the #TwitterAPI has been turned off for real this time. #Fedifinder doesn't work anymore.
I don't know yet, if I will keep working on it. I don't even have the energy to think about it at the moment.
I'm sorry, Twitter is asking for screenshots of empty folders from researchers who opt out of paying "$42,000 a month to access 0.3% of all the tweets posted to the platform"?
There's a few things wrong here.

@dmoser @fuchsiii @jmwolf @MonaApp @Tusky @ivory considering how "young" and the
are in technical point of view and how recent #MassMarketAdoption was due to
aka
exiles, the ecosystem kinda has to grow.
With the #TwitterAPI being canceled we can expect big #SocialMedia tools like #HootSuite and #Tweetdeck-Clones like #Twidere / #TwidereX to appear soon...
/10 Looks like #ElonMusk has just realized that public service announcements are additive to #Twitter. Could be, requiring public agencies pay for access to the #TwitterAPI might cool said organization’s enthusiasm for the #SocialMediaPlatform

Another Twitter U-Turn: Following the restrictions faced by the National Weather Service and the New York subway accounts on the platform, Twitter said: "Verified gov or publicly owned services who tweet weather alerts, transport updates and emergency notifications may use the API, for these critical purposes, for free."
It's disappointing that people will move on as if nothing happened.
The lesson here should be: we can't trust a platform where one person makes major decisions.
In zwei Stunden ist der 29. April auch in der letzten Zeitzone der USA vorbei und somit die Deadline für die #TwitterAPI Abschaltung.
Noch funktioniert #fedifinder.
