Looks like that feature of ThingSpeak no longer works. This stopped when Twitter rebranded and cutoff certain APIs. X is going X first.

Please Hans, does that mean as of June 2024, ThingTweet still works?

Tweeting (or X’ing?) via the API still works. CheerLights relied on the stream API. This service went away.

X management went a new direction and wants something new at the cost of fringe projects and 3rd-party apps. Monetization is not part of the dimise. This was all business choices.

Does the ThingTweet app on ThingSpeak still work?

More generally, does what’s happening at X/Twitter foreshadow what is likely to happen to free/poorly monetized platforms on the internet?
