    I believe I read $0.24 per 500 1000 API calls somewhere, which is insanely high.

      It is insanely high, when their actual cost for 500 API calls should be $0.001 or less.

        My girlfriend, who has been somewhat on the fence about the protests (just because she’s a more casual user and has never had any issues with the official app), absolutely balked at that number and I think that singlehandedly changed her mind about the API changes.

      $12 per 50,000,000 calls is the figure Selig mentions.

      Oops, I left out the letter ‘k’.

        Typo? This Ars article claims it’s $12k per 50M calls and Christian’s original post has $0.24 per 1000 calls listed, which adds up.

        The price they gave was $0.24 for 1,000 API calls. I quickly inputted this in my app, and saw that it was not far off Twitter’s outstandingly high API prices, at $12,000, and with my current usage would cost almost $2 million dollars per month, or over $20 million per year.

          Oops, of course I did mean $12,000, yes. I had said $12 per 50,000 and somehow edited it to be incorrect.

            All good, I misquoted it at first as well :)
