User profile page doesn't load: "error loading user" about harpy HOT 9 CLOSED

Great, thanks so much!

from harpy.

The profile page requires access to Twitters v2 api endpoints. The v2 endpoints are subject to Twitters recent pricing changes.

Viewing profiles using the v2 api costs you $100 / month. And even if you were to pay, you are limited to 100 requests / 24 hours (https://developer.twitter.com/en/portal/products/basic)

Yeah.. no idea what they are thinking.

I could use the old v1 api to request user profile data but I have no idea when they're going to shut it down so its probably not worth the effort.

Got it - so when I use a custom API token, is that all using API v1? (i.e. effectively everything in the app will stop working when that shuts down?)

from harpy.

Yeah exactly. Everything except the profiles are still using the v1 API endpoints in harpy.

Got it. Well if it's an easy swap to update the API(s) for the user page to V1, I'd certainly appreciate it (as I'm sure others still using the app would as well), but I certainly understand if it's not worth your time, especially given the uncertainty.

Thanks for the replies and insight!

@ptk8ofbh Is the app still working for your with your custom api key, or did it break since yesterday?

Yes, it's still working as of present (that's how I've been using the app since early April).

Interesting, mine was also working up until yesterday. Now it seems that I can't access the v1 api endpoints anymore.

Either way I won't be able to update profiles to use the old API, sorry.

I changed my mind and updated the profile page to work again using a free key that has access to the v1 api.
