I'm not sure what that link was supposed to be before it 404ed. But clicking through from the Twitter Developer homepage you can get to these:

https://developer.twitter.com/en/products/twitter-api

https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api

All links to dev portal, product information and docs seem to work.

I assume the post is suggesting the Twitter api has been "removed" in relation to the reader apps being blocked. But it looks like everything is there still. Anyone got more context on what the "missing" page was?

Apparently Twitter has specifically deactivated api access to certain apps, like Tweetdeck. That’s probably sparked uncertainty around the future of the twitter API

Your assumption is right, that’s what I was hinting at. I might be wrong but I strongly suspect this is all intentional.

I don’t know exactly, I assume some sort of landing page with links to your aforementioned resources.

TweetDeck would be really strange since it is owned by Twitter itself, but yeah it is apps like Tweetbot and other mobile apps. It is rather sad since 3rd party apps was a big plus for Twitter users especially before they made their API worse, but that was years ago.

Ah, looking at the archived page, I remember someone in the earlier related threads saying that Twitters own "API Explorer" was down and seemed to be be experiencing the same issue as the blocked apps. I think this must have been that?!

> owned by Twitter

I can see that becoming the new go-to meme when things go belly-up
