Twitter is to set to expand amount of data it provides to third party developers for free.
Twitter said the move will allow software developers to produce tools and products that “encourage new types of innovation that will lead to greater impact on the public conversation”.
Developers will be able to access data on up to two million tweets a month via the social media platform’s application programming interface (API).
In addition, Twitter API v2 is now officially the primary Twitter API.
The social network has recently introduced a variety of new features which are exclusive to v2, including endpoints for Spaces, posting polls in Tweets, and pinning and unpinning lists .
Twitter also told Reuters it is set to change its API policy, reducing its limitations on third party developers competing with its own platform.
The move towards greater transparency comes as Twitter faces regulatory scrutiny worldwide.
Twitter – alongside Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat – was accused of violating the newly introduced Children’s Code, according to research by charity 5 Rights published in October.
