Now available via developer APIs too! Example: twurl '/2/users/me?user.fields=verified_followers_count' Note: this only works for the authenticating user who at least has a premium subscription on X.
The time has finally come. You can now see your verified follower count in 𝕏 Analytics! Premium -> Analytics 📊

Calling all emergency apps built on X via API! 🚨 Emergency and public utility developer use-cases are vital to our X platform and serving humanity. We are transforming our API platform to new modern systems and are in the process of migrating all developers to our new X API v2 by June 30th, 2024. Any developer with an emergency or public utility app, will also need to move to our new v2 API by this timeline. We will continue enabling Verified gov or publicly owned services who post weather alerts, transport updates and emergency notifications without cost. For more info, please visit our X Developer Community Forum here: //bit.ly/xforumdev. Please follow this official handle, open up your DMs, and DM us directly. Thank you! X Developer Staff

Twitter is enforcing its long-standing API rules. That may result in some apps not working.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Currently it's all major third party clients not some. Also, it is unknown what long standing rules have been broken as no guidance has been provided to any API partner. And as the tweet notes, these rules have not changed. 9to5mac.com/2023/01/17/twi… developer.twitter.com/en/developer-t….

🙌 Thanks to our developer community, we learned of a small bug for edited Tweet metadata on the Twitter API v2. We’ve updated edits_remaining to return an integer, as intended and indicated in our docs/Open API spec. The Twitter API v1.1 returns an integer and is unchanged.

During these unprecedented times, what’s happening on Twitter can help the world better understand & respond to the pandemic. We're launching a free COVID-19 stream endpoint so qualified devs & researchers can study the public conversation in real-time. blog.twitter.com/developer/e…
