Twitter archive

Twitter is opening up its full archive to the broader developer community

This new premium API endpoint, called Full-archive Search, will offer all tweets from all time. The addition of Full-archive Search could spur the development of a whole host of new Twitter applications for businesses, brands, or even consumers. With access to Twitter’s history, businesses could learn how consumer sentiment has changed over time or what people have been saying worldwide about their products and services for more than a decade, for example. But it could also allow for new tools to surface historical tweets in an easier fashion than Twitter’s own advanced search features do today. Twitter will allow developers to experiment with the new API in a free sandbox environment where they can test things out with up to 50 requests per month. Then, when they’re ready to commit to paying, various subscription packages are available starting at $99 per month.
