Twitter API Plan to go from Free to 42k per Month?!?

YOU’RE NOT MISREADING THAT. THATS THE CURRENT PLAN.

First reported in Wired, Twitter is planning to put its API access behind a paywall and the cost is HUGE. The cheapest package gives access to 50 million tweets at a cost of more than half a million dollars a year. That’s the starting point. The large package for enterprise businesses goes up to $2.5 million a year.
