Okay, so I feel a little in the dark regarding Twitter’s new API pricing. I know the future pricing model for the V2 API’s are still in conversation, but it would be nice to know if the basic level is going to remain free of charge?
My prediction is that Twitter release the elevated account which you have to pay for to get more tweets per month depending on your business use case and that the basic access level remains free.
Has anyone got more infromation as it is scary writing code for an API that may be too costly in the future!!!

Thanks so much for your question, Thomas. We intend for Basic access to remain free.
We know how important it is to have transparency into pricing and confidence as you build. And I appreciate your concern about the future of pricing for more elevated levels of access (beyond Basic).
This feedback is valuable and is exactly why we are continuing to evaluate appropriate pricing for elevated levels. We are not ready to share the exact details quite yet, but we will have more to share soon!

I don’t have any problem if I get any type of API twitter
Hi Jessica, any information regarding the V2 API and connected accounts. We deal with clients who give us access to manage their Twitter Organic Data, and cannot fetch non_public metrics using the V2 API. Please could you let me know any information!
Hello. I am a academic researcher and I plan on applying for academic research access.
However, before I do, I would like to know the pricing of the various API options. I know that the basic API is free. How much does it cost to access Premium APIs? How much does it cost to access Enterprise APIs?
The academic access API is entirely free, but you have to have a verifiable online presence (your profile on the university website, google scholar account, etc - all the details in the form). There’s some notes on this in the twarc docs: Twitter Developer Access - twarc
Thank you. I appreciate your reply and I am following the steps outlined in the link. If I am not granted academic research access, how much does Premium APIs and Enterprise APIs cost? I have seen estimates that suggest there is a monthly cost for accessing these APIs.
It’s not a monthly cost, it’s a cost per number of requests, which you can use per month - 1 request is 30 days worth of tweets, or 500 tweets, whichever is first. The prices for a number of requests are in the developer dashboard: https://developer.twitter.com/en/account/subscriptions (“Upgrade” on the relevant endpoint, 30day or fullarchive and pick Premium to see the prices)
For full archive,

The $99 tier will let you call the full archive endpoint 100 times, with each HTTP call returning either 500 tweets or 30 days worth of tweets, so it’s worth testing things out with sandbox 30day endpoint to make sure you get your query and everything right. It’s possible to exhaust this in 1 single function call in a library because if pagination is performed, it counts each request.
when I first apply twitter API,it refuse my application,now it seems I can’t apply it,how can I get twitter API? Can you reply me?
Have you solved your problems?
