Twitter API v1: Temporary shutdown

We are temporarily turning off API v1 later today, Wednesday, March 20th, for one hour — approximately 3-4 pm PDT (10-11 pm GMT). **Only third-party applications that have not yet transitioned over to API v1.1, the new version of the API, will be affected.** If you’re using one of those apps during this one-hour window, you’ll experience a service disruption. Thank you for your patience during this test.

This blackout test is one of several that will take place in the weeks leading up to retiring API v1. We’re doing this to help developers understand the impact that retirement will have on their applications and services. This post has more information; you can also follow @twitterapi for updates.
