Free access to Twitter’s Application Program Interface (API) will no longer be available starting next week, as Elon Musk continues to look for ways to monetize the app.

Twitter’s API allows access to Twitter data, which can be used to create third-party apps, automated bots, and customer service tools for brands. It also enables researchers to report on trends or patterns on the platform.

Starting February 9, several popular accounts, tools and features could disappear, as smaller developers are likely to be unable or unwilling to pay for the feature.
