Native video clipping is live on X, with credit to the original

X launched native video clipping. Grab a moment from any video, add your take, and post it without leaving X. Every clip credits the original video and links back to it, so new viewers can find the creator's work.

To make one, tap Repost, then Clip video. Pick your moment, add your commentary, and post. Clipping is available on iOS and Android for videos longer than 2 minutes, and a clip can run from 5 to 60 seconds.…

Free credit incentives for pay-per-use accounts

X started rolling out free API credit incentives for pay-per-use accounts: a one-time $20 when you save your first eligible payment card, plus a one-time match of your first successful auto-recharge, up to $50.

The credits are applied automatically, with no code or form, and appear in the Developer Console within about a minute. They're spent before purchased credits and expire 3 months after they're granted.

Real-time reply moderation guide now uses Grok

X rewrote its real-time reply moderation guide to use Grok and the X Activity API, replacing the approach built around the deprecated Perspective API and the Account Activity API.

Broadcast chat removal events for X Activity API

The X Activity API added broadcast.chat.remove events for chat messages removed by a broadcast's host or moderator.

Subscribe by User ID with the broadcast.read scope to receive real-time notifications for broadcasts that user owns. Each payload includes the broadcast_id and the removed message's message_id.

X Numbers Let Anyone Reach You in Chat

X added X Numbers, optional contact codes you can share with people you want to hear from. Someone with your enabled code can message you in X Chat without a followback or an accepted message request.

They can also call, but calls still follow your call settings.

Migrate OAuth 1.0a user tokens to OAuth 2.0 with token exchange

The X API added token exchange for migrating existing OAuth 1.0a users to OAuth 2.0, without asking them to authorize your app again.

Send each user's stored OAuth 1.0a access token and secret to POST /2/oauth2/token with grant_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:token-exchange. You'll get an OAuth 2.0 access token and refresh token back.

The granted scopes come from the permissions that user originally authorized, with offline.access always included.

Conversion API Google Tag Manager server-side template

X released an official Google Tag Manager server-side template for sending website conversions to its Ads Conversion API without writing the request code yourself.

You can find the X Ads Conversion API (Official) tag in the Google Tag Manager Community Template Gallery. It runs in a server container. The setup documentation walks through your Pixel ID, access token, event mapping, and deduplication between the Pixel and Conversion API.
