Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha this #twitterapi pricing just makes the whole thing better.

Absolutely astonishing how badly this has been decided, implemented and communicated.

@Sephsekla What's the source of this screenshot?

@jamesdoc I'd seen something similar online in a bunch of places, so took this myself from https://developer.twitter.com/en/pricing/search-30day when I went to verify.

It may be I've misunderstood something, but it's certainly a real screenshot from Twitter's own developer site.

@Sephsekla Thanks Joe. Just found it myself. The page has been floating around since 2017 (ref wayback machine)… It's crazy enough to be legit right now… but I'm not 100% confident yet.
@Sephsekla oh my god I just burst out laughing

@Sephsekla

It's so bad I can't help but think it's fake.

The paragraph at the bottom seems to indicate that at $2,500 per month, you still don't get (checks notes) *email support.*

@Sephsekla holy shit. If 1 000 would cost like €10 it might make some sense. But even 1 000 requests is basically nothing.
@Sephsekla Requests in general or a specific type of request? If it's the 1st one then Elon is smoking some really good weed.
@Sephsekla Muskrat seems to be making all his decisions on the assumption that 100% of people who currently benefit from Feature X will happily pay any price to keep accessing it, when really most people use a feature BECAUSE IT'S FREE.
@Sephsekla that is current pricing and its for the premium tier, heres the source for screenshot 😄 https://developer.twitter.com/en/pricing/search-30day
@Sileniful yeah I got this from the site myself earlier today. Maybe the pricing will become cheaper under the new changes, but right now this is the only pricing info available 
@Sephsekla likely new pricing will be available when they go live with it for now i believe this is still 'old' pricing, along with sandbox mode being free

@Sephsekla Before you know it, you'll need to have Twitter Blue to have the privilege of using emoticons and posting images.

I'm amazed I can still get on Twitter w/o an account to read what's going on now and then. I'm sure he'll lock that down eventually.

@Sephsekla Another walled garden coming up.

I guess I was right when I deleted my account there after my request for API access (free back then) was denied for unknown reason.
@Sephsekla those aren’t real prices. Those are “plumber reluctantly giving a quote for a job that they absolutely don’t want to do” prices.
@Sephsekla This seems to be from the Search API page. Is that the same as the Twitter API? https://developer.twitter.com/en/account/subscriptions/search-30day (click on Premium select button)
@Sephsekla Where did you get this price overview? 500 requests per month would mean 30 cents per request? This seems crazy to me
@Sephsekla That’s the pricing for the search api which has been locked down for a long time already. There is no stated pricing for the other api, though his royal dumbfuck posted a $100 likely without any further explanation
