Hi, I’m trying to figure out what the required application URL should be on the Policy Support Form. From what I understand, this should be a link to an app that uses the API but we’re currently using an Academic Access. We’re using the API via python and TwitterAPI package to pull tweets for a research study, not exactly to develop an app. For our use case, what is the expected URL for the form?

Background: We (my supervisor and I; supervisor has the account with access; I do the coding) need to submit the form since we got an email that our access is suspended (on the dev portal it says “limited”) after just a day of getting approved. We were just migrating our codes in TwitterAPI from the standard v1.1 to academic access v2 and testing a few full-search calls so we’re really confused.

I think it works better if you log in as the application owner, and pick this option: App is suspended or restricted (at least, it worked for me last time a similar thing happened)

and the URL can be the URL of the App in the Dashboard - or the URL you defined in the App itself if there is one.

For v2 academic access, you only need read-only permissions - so you may have to change those.

Hope you get it sorted!

Hi, Igor. Thanks for the reply. I am logged in as the application owner while working on this. Just didn’t want to use my supervisor’s account to post here.

The app settings does indicate read-only permissions from the time the access was granted. I believe we are unable to edit it so there’s probably something else. Hopefully, it’s one of those cases where Twitter’s automated bots made a mistake.

For the URL however, the app creation didn’t prompt/require us to define any URL nor does any show in the app details and settings. The dashboard unfortunately only links to the project overview on the dev portal.

I am tempted to just put google.com and see where it goes but I’m being cautious since it’s not my account and it might merit further penalties. :sweat_smile:

Oh i mean the app url for the form can be

https://developer.twitter.com/en/portal/projects/12345/apps/12345/settings

(with whatever your app id is - i’ve no idea if that field matters at all either.)

Ah. That does seem more sensible. What a weird required field.

Thanks! Will try it and pray to Twitter gods/bots.
