Twitter users reported that Twitter\u2019s incoming and outgoing API started failing on Monday morning, breaking many of the site\u2019s core features. <\/p>\n<p>The API outage appeared to prevent Tweetdeck from working, as well as even blocking access to the Twitter home page for some people (including PCWorld editor Brad Chacos, shown below). When users tried to post screenshots of the API breaking features\u2026 those screenshots were broken, too. The outages generated error messages:  \u201c{\u201cerrors\u201d:[{\u201cmessage\u201d:\u201dYour current API plan does not include access to this endpoint, please see  for more information\u201d,\u201dcode\u201d:467}]\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, even the link in the error message failed to work. <\/p>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/b2c-contenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-3.png\" alt=\"Twitter API broken\" width=\"1024\" height=\"489\"><\/figure>\n<p>Brad Chacos \/ iDG<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Naturally, \u201cTwitter API\u201d trended as a result, as did related searches like \u201cDid Twitter,\u201d and \u201cImages.\u201d Some began speculating that Twitter hadn\u2019t paid one or more bills. Twitter had a different explanation, however. \u201cSome parts of Twitter may not be working as expected right now,\u201d Twitter Support tweeted. \u201cWe made an internal change that had some unintended consequences. We\u2019re working on this now and will share an update when it\u2019s fixed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Twitter blog didn\u2019t have an explanation for the issue \u2014 it, too, was blocked by the error message. Elon Musk, the chief executive of Twitter, hadn\u2019t tweeted about the issue as of 9:23 AM PT. Musk has reportedly slashed Twitter\u2019s headcount down to a fraction of what it once was, and the Twitter community has wondered when all of the layoffs would end up breaking critical Twitter features. Now we know. <\/p>\n<p><em>This story was updated at 9:43 AM with additional information<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><\/body><\/div>\n<div data-ga=\"article-footer-author\">\n<h3>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/author\/mhachman\" rel=\"author\"><br \/>\n\t\tAuthor: Mark Hachman<\/a>, Senior Editor\t\t<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/author_photo_Mark-Hachman_1632347568-15.jpeg?quality=50&#038;strip=all&#038;w=116&#038;h=116&#038;crop=1\" height=\"125\" width=\"125\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>As PCWorld&#8217;s senior editor, Mark focuses on Microsoft news and chip technology, among other beats.
