Elon Musk-owned social network X made changes to its API pricing and limits today and also announced annual plans with a discounted rate.
Elon Musk-owned social network X made changes to its API pricing and limits today and also announced annual plans with a discounted rate.
Wonder if this change is due to financial issues or if they realized that their data is worth more.
That is the API. But yeah I am sure it is now the value of what is being built in the AI world.
If you want to tap into X's data, it will cost you more.
As for their financial issues, do not buy into that. It is a private company and they dont release their figures.
Well thought companies used the API to fetch the data and thats why the increased price.
Well, I dont bet against Elon 👏
They do but it is limited. So the value of tapping in and building on X network is going up, at least according to the pricing model.
The company raised the prices of the basic API tier from $100 to $200 and said it would introduce higher limits and new endpoints for this subscription plan.
In a post on X’s developer community portal, the company noted that the number of reads through this API will be increased from 10,000 to 15,000, and developers will get new endpoints like reposts_of_me and communities search.
However, on the API comparison page and plan purchase page, the API limits are the same as before. This is possibly an error, and the company will edit the page (it didn’t respond to our queries).
In the announcement post, the X Developer account said that it is also introducing an experimental read API for the free tier. However the company didn’t reveal that the free tier’s post limits are now reduced from 1,500 to just 500, and the read API will only give you 100 requests.
X has also introduced new annual plans for Basic and Pro API tiers that are cheaper than developers paying a monthly fee. The Basic annual plan costs $2,100 and the Pro annual plan costs $54,000.
