Here’s a twitter API update

I’m writing now to let you kll know that I am reading Mastodon and came across this post from one of the apps that this community use.

Kay: Boosting Manuel cortez (manuelcortez): Hi there, everyone. Today after many months, Twitter has blocked TWBlue from its API. This was a matter of time. From now on, everyone attempting to log-in in twitter using TWblue or adding a new account will get no response from the app, and a 401 error in the logs saying that “We couldn’t authenticate you”. Next is to remove all twitter source code from TWBlue and keep focusing the app in other sites / networks. Thank you for the time!

It will not surprise me to see Tweesecake come next, and this means that we’ll have a harder time on Twitter.

As I’ve written in the past, Twitter’s particular issues go deeper than just an API removal and forcing people to pay for something that is inheriently free.

I guess we’ll see what happens next!
