Meanwhile, an enterprise tier is intended for firms that want a greater degree of access, but specifics on that tier remain unknown. The enterprise tier will have “commercial-level access that suits your and your customer’s unique demands,” as well as additional capabilities, according to Twitter’s developer page. Companies may apply for corporate access, but Twitter has only said that there would be “monthly subscription levels.”
It’s also unclear what will happen to researchers and academics that depend on Twitter’s API for their studies. The corporation announced in a series of tweets that it was “looking for new methods to continue supporting this community,” but didn’t specify. According to Wired, the corporation previously promised certain groups that API access may cost up to $42,000 per month, but that plan does not seem to have materialised, at least not yet.
