Questions
- Why are you still calling things Tweets?
As of version 5.0.0, I’m not. But if you see something still referencing a Tweet, let me know it!
- Do I need to pay for an API plan at X.com?
If you’re publishing more than about 50 Tweets a day, you’ll need to pay for a premium API plan. This is out of my control.
- X.com’s Application creation process is very difficult. Why do I have to do this?
XPoster has always followed the principle that you are the owner of your own application. Many other applications require you to pass your data through a 3rd party that you authenticate to post to Twitter. With the new API policies at X.com, this is a significant benefit to most users. X.com allows up to 1500 Tweets per month on their free API plan, which is practical for most independent sites.
