Shortly after Jun 2, 2023 · 10:35 PM UTC my twitter RSS feeds went dark.

Looks like /1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json is returning "Sorry, that page does not exist".

Yet Nitter continues to work, so they can't have cut off the access to these things entirely.

And until the website goes logged-in-access-only, there's always scrapers.

Can I be arsed to fix it? Or will the last tweet I read be Ian Dunt saying "This is spot on" about some Brexit thing?

Wednesday night is the earliest possible time I could try.

Maybe it's just Twitter's bug and they'll fix it by then?

Did anyone hear of any changes to the Twitter API this weekend?

Wow, can you really no longer search twitter at all without logging in?

There's no search icon and search dot twitter dot com just redirects to the login flow.

If you have to log in to search twitter does that mean it's part of the deep web now, the inaccessible dark-net of private networks?

Like Facebook already is.

@pre Still looks like it has a search feature...

@pre Yeah, I am.

@denny Are there any recent mentions of /user_timeline.json and changes to the API? 😆

Denny

@pre Because he's always been so good about advance notice? 😆

@pre Searching for timeline.json got no relevant results, but also looked like it wasn't temporally sorted, so 🤷
