“Starting today, April 3, 2025, we are removing the X (formerly Twitter) app integration from our offering due to X’s API policy requirements and pricing that prevent us from providing a reasonable integration to our customers. Here are a few critical dates to note:”
What’s the exact reason for this and what alternative services will still be able to use the API? Zapier?
X’s API pricing changes ($200/month for Basic, $42K for Premium) make integration unsustainable. Zapier dropped Twitter; alternatives like Buffer and Hootsuite remain. Make.com is exploring I was already fallen in love with the seamless integration, i think cost effective and more feature is important
Ugh. thanks for update on this. Super frustrating that x/twitter is doing this. sounds like Make.com basically had no choice given these pricing changes from X.
I was using publer before I found make. I think I’ll take another look at it now.
OK, I don’t think the Buffer module will work anymore in Make.
In order to connect, you need a ClientID and Client Secret.
To get these, you need to register an app in Buffer (much like we did in Twitter).
I don’t believe that is correct. The Buffer app in Make is designed to use Make’s Client ID and Secret.
OPTIONALLY you can choose to use your own, but that’s not a required step - see the help page for details.
Any solution or alternative so far ? X still let dev like me to have free plan with limited post count but it’s all i need. Why stopping the X module ? Any help are welcome
This is probably still possible with a Custom App feature in Make but it will require everyone who wants to use it to make the structure themselves manually and learn the ins and outs of the X API. In theory it could be possible.
I think Make doing this makes a ton of sense. X is forcing new terms with the price of $42,000 per month (this is a starting price, not a flat fee) so Make would need 4,200 customers at the base level just to break even on a SINGLE platform. Imagine if the different platforms did this! I would rather not even use X/Twitter anymore than to have Make.com charge me more for a single platform that is losing userbase. Plus that $42,000/month is a starting price, it is guaranteed to be much much more for the amount of usage we as Make.com community push through the API as a collective.
The only option for them is to convert the module into a paid addon or remove it. Now with this change every service is making adjustments. I saw one that now requires Paid Account for the ability to use a single X account and if you want more X accounts you have to pay more and more.
Twitter got popular because of their openness of the API and the flexibility of it… now X has ruined all of that and is gutting automation to a huge degree which is only going to push people away from the platform.
