Twitter announced a new extension in the launch of its new application programming interface (API), which would initially close on February 9 and which will begin to be paid once its new version is implemented.

The company has acknowledged that because “there has been immense enthusiasm for the upcoming changes” to this software, it is currently working on “creating an optimal experience for the developer community.”

In this publication, shared through its profile for developers of the social network, Twitter did not specify the launch date of what will be its new API, whose implementation was expected for this Monday, February 13, although it has indicated that it will share ” More information in the coming days”.

In mid-January, Twitter clients such as Twitterrific, Tweetbot and Fenizx announced that they were not receiving a response from the platform due to an alleged error in their API.

Twitter’s response was that it had modified the rules of use of this “long-standing” interface and, although it did not specify what those modifications were, it did indicate that it would introduce a payment API as of February 9.

That same day, the owner of Twitter, Elon Musk, commented that he would set a fee of $100 per month to use his API starting February 13, a subscription that would encourage “ID verification, which will clean things up a lot“.

However, due to the great disagreement of the developers with respect to this measure, he anticipated that there would be a free and “light” version of his API “write-only for ‘bots’ that offer good content”.

The social network Twitter would have decided to delay the launch of its new payment plan for verified accounts until after the mid-term elections in the United States, according to CNN.

The decision to delay the feature proposed by the company’s new owner, Elon Musk, comes after he has faced widespread public backlash, as the move could make it more difficult to distinguish between real users and those posing as celebrities and politicians.

Twitter’s verification mark had long been used to confirm the authenticity of government officials, prominent figures and journalists, for which the move had succumbed to criticism, not least over fears it could influence US elections.

All in all, the change in the launch date of the payment plan occurs one day after the platform launched an updated version of its application for iOS, which details that users who pay eight euros a month can access to get a blue checkmark.

More specifically, the latest update to the app has been described on Apple’s App Store as a new verification feature “just like the celebrities, businesses, and politicians you already follow.”
