It sounds as if your Twitter account has been suspended. That is not the same as having your application shut down. A shut-down app means you cannot access the API at all, i.e., all your API calls are denied with connection refused. Can you still access the API from your app and publish tweets

No it appears that our API is shut down completely, everything we do now is returned (401) Unauthorized. We do not do anything automated other than send out tweets that our users schedule. I presume if the users scheduled a tweet with DM it would go out that way but we do not automatically do

Dewald knows his stuff. And trust me Virga, it's not twitter's favoritism you're experiencing. It's their lack of good customer service! You're not alone, i've heard many many stories of how great they are at responding to those help tickets. Their API may be rockin it, but their customer

Ok...based on Dewalds post above I did a little more investigating and it appears that our API is functioning because some tweets went out on behalf of some of our customers and I setup a new twitter account and tested without an error but what is more concerning is that it appears that Twitter

what is more concerning is that it appears that Twitter just blanketly suspended several of our accounts and our users accounts that had any tweets posted recently from our application. Is it possible that these customers of yours had their accounts suspended for activity that had nothing to do
