Reminder to all developers currently using:
- Site Streams
- User Streams
- Legacy Direct Message endpoints
These products will be sunset on August 16th, 2018. On and after this date, new connections to User Streams and Site Streams (including control endpoints) will no longer be accepted, and requests to the legacy DM endpoints will return errors.
Affected Endpoints:
GET https://userstream.twitter.com/1.1/user.json
GET https://sitestream.twitter.com/1.1/site.json
GET /1.1/site/c/:stream_id/info.json
POST /1.1/site/c/:stream_id/add_user.json
POST /1.1/site/c/:stream_id/remove_user.json
POST /1.1/site/c/:stream_id/friends/ids.json
GET https://api.twitter.com/1.1/direct_messages

If you are using these products, visit the documentation for migration instructions, and start your migration to the new versions ASAP to reduce impact.
As previously announced, we extended the timeframe for these deprecations by two months, from June to August 16th, 2018. Between now and the sunset date, you will begin to see new event types containing information about the deprecation as well as degraded service as we “flicker” the endpoints on and off to help ensure the community understands these endpoints are being shut down.
We encourage you to begin your migration immediately and to apply for the Account Activity API now to avoid service impact.
