Twitter has broken in several places this morning, possibly due to Twitter’s API. Slow load times, broken connections and services like TweetDeck crashed on Monday, displaying an error related to Twitter’s API. This isn’t the first setback Twitter has seen over its API under Elon Musk’s new leadership.
When using a link on Twitter or accessing a service like TweetDeck, you would see this message: “{“errors”:[{“message”:”Your current API plan does not include access to this endpoint, please see https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api for more information”,”code”:467}]}” That’s not very helpful — going to the website address in the error would take you to a page with the same error.

The issue appears to be related to Twitter’s API, which affects several services and features on Twitter, such as images and links. The developer’s Twitter website went down, and both Twitter Dev and Twitter API accounts were silent when the service went down.
Links displayed on Twitter, but trying to click on the link would block your link and display the above error. Images also had issues, many of which refused to load both in preview and when you expanded the image.
The issue appears to be related to Twitter’s switch to a paid API. The company announced in early February that it would switch to a paid API service, resulting in the shutdown of many third-party apps like Twitterific. Now it seems that Twitter itself is having problems with its paid API system.
Reporter Aidan Moher speculates that links and images are broken due to Twitter data tracking. When you use a link outside of Twitter, the website records information about where you go, which is sent through the Twitter API. According to Moher, that service appears to have lost access to the API due to the move to Twitter’s new paid system.
Twitter support said that “some parts of Twitter may not work as expected” shortly after the website went live. The problem, according to the report, was the result of “an internal change that had some unintended consequences.” The team responded about an hour later that service had been restored.
