Twitter announced this week that it would be making its Application Programming Interface (API) data free for qualified accounts that post “public announcements.”

The accounts for government or publicly-owned services can now publish real-time automated updates on emergency services, weather and traffic, among other things, Twitter said Tuesday.

One of the most important use cases for the Twitter API has always been public utility. Verified gov or publicly owned services who tweet weather alerts, transport updates and emergency notifications may use the API, for these critical purposes, for free.
