Twitter API not working for you?
- Twitter needs OAuth. A 401 or 403 usually means a missing, expired or mis-sent credential: check whether it belongs in a header or the query string.
- A 429 response means you're being rate-limited. Slow down, cache responses, and respect any Retry-After header.
- Twitter doesn't send CORS headers, so browsers block calls made directly from a web page. Call it from your server instead.
- If it works from one network but not another, check firewalls, VPNs and regional blocks.
- Check the provider's documentation, status page or social accounts for planned maintenance or a changed endpoint.

Twitter API status FAQ
Is Twitter API down right now?
Twitter answered our last daily check (Oct 24, 2026, 12:25 UTC) in 2682 ms with HTTP 200. This page also runs a live check from our server when you open it, so you can see whether Twitter is responding at this moment.
How do you check whether Twitter API is up?
Once a day our checker requests Twitter's listed URL (https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs) and records whether it answers within 15 seconds. Answers like 401 (needs a key), 403 (blocks bots) or 429 (rate-limited) count as up, because the server responded. The listed URL is often the documentation page, so an API endpoint can occasionally fail while its docs stay up.
What can I use if Twitter API is down?
Free Social APIs that were up at their last check include 4chan, Lanyard, SwarmMemo. See the full list of Twitter alternatives for a comparison.
Why does Twitter API work for others but not for me?
Twitter needs OAuth. A 401 or 403 usually means a missing, expired or mis-sent credential: check whether it belongs in a header or the query string. A 429 response means you're being rate-limited. Slow down, cache responses, and respect any Retry-After header. Twitter doesn't send CORS headers, so browsers block calls made directly from a web page. Call it from your server instead.
