Since then, the company has launched different Account Activity API levels for developers, with costs ranging from $389 to $2,899 per month for the Premium plan. “The Account Activity API offers a faster and more streamlined way to access data, and is more reliable and scalable than User Streams, Site Streams, or our standard REST endpoints,” Twitter developer advocate Jon Cipriano wrote on Twitter’s blog. In December 2017, when Twitter announced it would be deprecating site streams, users’ streams and direct messaging features, the company pointed developers to its newly announced Account Activity API. Live streaming will continue to work until Twitter shuts it down at which point the app will fallback to automatically refreshing approximately every two minutes while you are using the app. To work around this, we’ve implemented more thorough automatic refreshing throughout the app - including for Lists which have never supported streaming.
In the coming months, Twitter plans to discontinue the underlying services that we need to provide live streaming. Twitterrific also posted a statement on its website in May when Twitter announced the August 16 rollout date: We’re sorry about this, but unfortunately this is totally out of our control. Because Twitter has chosen not to provide alternatives to these interfaces we have been forced to disable or degrade certain features. On August 16th Twitter will disable parts of their public interface that we use in Tweetbot. It also gave the following comment on the changes: Taproot, the developer behind Tweetbot, told it is looking into options for bringing back some of the push notifications. Push notifications for direct messages and mentions are also delayed in Tweetbot, while push notifications for likes, retweets, follows and quotes - along with the Activity and Stats tabs - are no longer part of the app. Without the ability to connect to streams in real time, Twitter timelines displayed over WiFi in both Tweetbot and Twitterrific will now be refreshed every one to two minutes, reports. Twitter’s API platform updates are rolling out today, impacting the functionality of apps like Tweetbot and Twitterrific. Last December, Twitter announced it would be deprecating access for app developers to its site stream, user stream and some direct messaging features.
