Well, there's this, which gave me a nice laugh yesterday: https://www.wired.com/story/twitter-data-api-prices-out-nearly-everyone/ On 3/11/2023 1:18 PM, Fred Fuchs via Air-L wrote:
Thoughts:
1. Is there any preliminary information on new API registration for either commercial or academic use?
2. Depending on contractual limitations for any new API service, if any, I wonder if it'd be possible to set up a non-profit which facilitated academic use? This might help with cost sharing if the cost ends up as high as you speculate.
3. Depending on the rules under which existing academic datasets were collected, might it be possible to share those among academic users? Again, a non-profit created for the purpose might facilitate the ethical sharing of existing datasets among academic users.
