The paywall around Twitter's API has crumbled slightly, with the bird site U-turning for organizations providing a public service. In a tweet yesterday, the Twitter Dev account said that Twitter's API has long found an important use case in its public utility. With that in mind, "verified gov or publicly owned services who tweet weather alerts, transport updates and emergency notifications may use the API, for these critical purposes, for free." While it's not immediately clear what Twitter means by "verified" in this respect, it's safe to assume it's accounts with a grey checkmark , which indicates they're operated by a government-linked individual or entity.
