Platforms like Twitterrific and Fenix no longer have access to Twitter’s API.
It began shutting off API access to popular Twitter clients like Twitterific and Fenix several days ago and has now made the change official.
The company suggests the third-party Twitter clients broke its API rules. But it remains unclear which rules, if any, were actually violated.
Twitter has confirmed it is "enforcing its long-standing API rules" about third-party APIs like Tweetbot.
