According to monitoring by 1M AI News, Chris Park, head of the X developer platform, announced that the X API will continue to be free for public service applications that provide emergency notifications and service updates. Additionally, a new API program targeting public service developers will be launched, offering clear access guidelines, extended access permissions, and additional resource support. On February 6 of this year, X transitioned to a usage-based API pricing model, eliminating the free tier for new developers, with costs set at $0.01 per post and $0.005 per read. Previously, free access for public service applications was provided on a case-by-case basis without a standardized public process. This announcement officially updates this exception into a structured developer program, providing a long-awaited but clear guarantee for public welfare applications that rely on X data to disseminate critically important information such as emergency notifications and weather alerts.#GateSquareAprilPostingChallenge
