I just got an email about the new pricing for Twitter API - $3.5 per post. Honestly, this pricing seems off. Also, for the Twitter URL scraper, the rate you're considering is $2.5 per 1000 results.
Let's break it down and compare it with what Twitter API and Apify cost.
Using the Twitter API, extracting 10000 tweets costs about $100 a month. The plus side? You get access to loads of other endpoints that Apify just doesn't offer.
Now, doing the same thing with Apify's API? That's $35 for 10000 tweets.
For my tool, I use the Twitter URL scraper, making about 15000 requests monthly. At your new rate, that's gonna be $37.5.
So, if I tally it up, it's $72.5 with Apify vs. $100 with Twitter API. Considering Apify's added complexity and the fact it's missing like 90% of Twitter API's endpoints, these new prices don't really add up.
I've been planning and budgeting based on your previous rates, and this sudden hike throws all my estimates out of whack. Could you take another look at these changes? They seem a bit hasty and not super well thought out.
I've been a big fan and a regular user of Apify. I'd really like to keep using it, provided the rates stay reasonable. Otherwise, I might have to consider other options. Let me know if these rates are final, so I can plan my next steps.
Please reconsider the pricing and thanks for looking into this.
Hey all, Why was twitter list scraper removed? Was being used actively by me without a problem. Can it be restored? If not whats an alternative? If you are removing without alternative why arent you making a warning for that? I was building a product relying on this Actor. Need your help with this. Please get back asap!
It seems that Twitter has prevented every information without logging in. Will you be able to fix this? Or should we think of other options? Are you considering an actor with login information?
Hey there! I've noticed that the 'is_root_thread' function was working fine in the past, but now it seems like the logic for 'is_thread' and 'is_root_thread' is broken. Regardless of whether it's a thread or the first tweet of a thread, it's showing 'false' for all records. Could you please take a look and see if you can fix it? I've already created an issue for this. Thanks!
Im trying to estimate my usage cost but i couldnt understand what this Volume Discount corresponds to. Why am I getting this discount? Will i get this discount if i upgrade to "Starter" as well?
Would be great if you can give a little bit more information how this Volume Discount is used.
Hello friends I would like to extract the list of followers/following of a certain user on Twitter. Is this somehow possible or should I look for other solutions than Apify?
