A couple of months ago I decided to work on the most important problem for the X API. That was clearly our pricing model and developer experience. I'm excited to finally release what has been long awaited by our developers. Check out the post to request access.
Announcing our beta launch: X API pay-per-use model. We are expanding a closed beta to both new & power users who want to ship amazing apps on X. All selected users will receive a $500 voucher to build with the X API. 🤑💻🚀

This was a pleasure to test, and I can’t thank you enough for listening to us and shipping so quickly Not to mention the literally INSTANT support I got whenever anything went wrong Setting the bar high 🫡 So many cool things are going to come out of this

Hey Santiago! I applied for the new pay-per model and can't wait to use it! I currently pay $5k a month for the pro tier for my app @CreatorBuddyX (thousands of users) This new model would make SO much more sense for me. As a power user, I'd love to get into this program and provide you any feedback I can!

You shouldn't be able to get into this page yet if you don't have access. It's throwing an error because of that. There's a small bug that allows you to access the page which we are fixing right now. Thanks for flagging!

Will this also work for those on the Enterprise plan of X API? Will the Enterprise plan still exist if this becomes a permanent offering? If not, while great for new developers, this will create a huge competitive disadvantage for us.

Enterprise is not affected. This is only for self-serve tiers

Nicely done! Excited to be able to use it again. I had made this little e-reader that would pull tweets based on a topic you chose. But it became impossible to play with it after the change. Thank you If anyone else wants to play with it github.com/thoughtlesslabs/t…

Applied! I run @TranslateMom and have been on the $200/mo plan since May 2023 and would be really excited to use this to help support all the 107k+ followers who depend on @translatemom on X :D
