Updates regarding Twitter API support for Zoho Social

Hey everyone,

Twitter recently announced that they'll discontinue free access to the Twitter API V2 and 1.1 starting February 9 and replace that with a paid basic tier. It has now been extended till February 13th. This is to prevent scammers and opinion manipulators from exploiting the platform as there is currently no verification process involved in using these APIs.

What's a Twitter API?

It's the Application Programming Interface, which can be used to programmatically retrieve and analyze Twitter data. It acts as the connector between two applications and is what facilitates publishing different types of content on your Twitter profile from Zoho Social.
