Twitter error code 467 prevents users from opening links
Both internal and external Twitter links appear to be down due to error code 467.
Twitter has seen a series of minor and major issues hit the platform over the past several months, and the newest one might be the most impactful on the user experience. Twitter links are broken. Users cannot open any links shared on Twitter, and external links that take users to Twitter don’t appear to be working either. It’s not clear what’s causing the issue, but the error message is pointing to error code 467 as the guilty party.

It was not long ago that Twitter users began to notice an error when trying to open links on the platform. This includes links in tweets, bios, and everywhere else. The following error code is being displayed when users attempt to open links on Twitter:
{"errors":[{"message":"Your current API plan does not include access to this endpoint, please see https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api for more information","code":467}]}.
In a tweet, Twitter Support shares an update on the ongoing situation.
Professor Ethan Mollick shared his own personal insight on the situation, stating that the issue may be a result of Twitter’s internal link shortener. Every link on Twitter has been shortened to a https://t.co link. Only Twitter’s systems know where the link goes. If these systems ever go down, its link rot at scale.”
We’re following the ongoing situation with Twitter error code 467 and the inability to open links on the platform and will update this article with new information as we learn it.

/}/ with the API? prob not a valid endpoint or something

"/" is the endpoint, look how they massacred my boy

Finally, we can now ignore twitter. Maybe Elon needs to turn it off and on again?

Pretty sure some images are struggling to load on the main/logged-in website as well, likely related

Twitter needs full rewrite
https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1632810081497513993-
A small API change had massive ramifications. The code stack is extremely brittle for no good reason.
Will ultimately need a complete rewrite.
There's always a reason; he just doesn't have the historical context around the tech debt and design decisions.
Nobody sits down and says "let's build a non-redundant inflexible system". It's always the result of realities and/or resource limitations.
The way he pretends to deeply understand software engineering must be maddening to accomplished engineers.-
Yeah, how on earth does this fuckup even relate to that?
Twitter uses an API to handle click tracking.
Musk mandates API's to charge
Massively cut engineers implement API throttling/charging mechanism and forget to apply this particular use-case/service principal to the whitelist to allow unlimited use
Hardly a 'brittle code stack'. It actually sounds like it was working as intended it was just a fuckup to miss that service that used the API.

Maybe firing 80% of your company and asking inexperienced people to rush to do randomizing work in unfamiliar areas is a factor in the new lack of reliability.
-
“I arbitrarily changed an API and everything using the API broke because it all expected the old API”
Wow. Principleskinner meme goes here. -
Reading the replies to his Tweets is always hilarious. It's usually a bunch of dudes who are either ugly, obese, or bald calling anyone critical of Musk a soy boy or some similar edgelord insult. I'm assuming they think that paying Elon for a blue check mark makes them some sort of alpha male or something? It's pretty pathetic.

This Twitter shit just confirms I will never buy a car from Tesla so long as he's still involved. He doesn't have a fucking clue. Perhaps Twitter is overly complicated (Good chance it is, that's just how it goes when things grow organically) but a complete rewrite is very rarely the right answer and will leave you with a bajillion other problems

This can't be true...can it? Imagine the tone that sets.
Then again, if you've threatened everyone with firing unless they work 14+ hour days, and you know they're trapped on an H1-B...they might be a bit angry.-
the guy did think posting the details of his location was one step removed from trying to assassinate him so…

He assigned a single engineer to the API migration effort:
But in a sign of just how deep Elon Musk’s cuts to the company have been, only one site reliability engineer has been staffed on the project, we’re told. On Monday, the engineer made a “bad configuration change” that “basically broke the Twitter API,” according to a current employee.
The change had cascading consequences inside the company, bringing down much of Twitter’s internal tools along with the public-facing APIs. On Slack, engineers responded with variations of “crap” and “Twitter is down – the entire thing” as they scrambled to fix the problem.
Elon Musk was furious, we’re told.

That's a leadership failure. People make mistakes; leaders ensure the mistakes aren't catastrophic. Where is the peer review and change review process?-
-
I am sure Musk has already fired the engineer and threatened to sue them for sabotage.

OMG .. this public drama is insane
