Twitter access is denied

[pouraz84]

Hello. I have access to MAXQDA on two different devices, both of which are company (university) devices and the licenses are also provided by the university. I cannot on neither access Twitter. I get the following message when I click on "Connect to Twitter"

Host requires authentication
{"errors":[{"code":32,"message":"Could not authenticate you."}]}

Could you please guide me as to how I can fix the error?

Thanks and Regards

Version: MAXQDA 2022
System: Windows 10

Thank you for your message. Following changes in the Twitter API regulations made by Twitter this year, MAXQDA will no longer be able to import Twitter data going forward.

We have released more details about this unfortunate development in our FAQs and informed all users via our newsletter a while ago: https://www.maxqda.com/faq/importing-tweets-from-twitter

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to solve this situation. These changes not just affect MAXQDA, but the whole research community working with Twitter data. Here is just one source talking about the current situation: https://techcrunch.com/2023/02/14/twitters-restrictive-api-may-leave-researchers-out-in-the-cold


Best regards on behalf of the MAXQDA support
