Third-Party Clients Banned Under New Twitter Developer Terms

Third-Party Clients Banned Under New Twitter Developer Terms

Twitter has made a significant change to its developer agreement, effectively banning the creation of third-party clients. The updated agreement, which was quietly released on Thursday, includes a clause in the “restrictions” section that prohibits the “use or access the Licensed Materials to create or attempt to create a substitute or similar service or product to the Twitter Applications.” This is the only substantive change to the 5,000-word agreement.
