Major platform X has tightened its API policies with stricter restrictions targeting third-party applications that facilitate post rewards and engagement incentives. The update cracks down on automated spam behavior by limiting how external apps can interact with the platform's core functions. This policy shift impacts developers building Web3 notification bots, reward aggregators, and automation tools that rely on third-party integrations. The move aims to reduce artificial engagement inflation while maintaining legitimate API access for analytics and content management tools. For the crypto community, this means tighter scrutiny on engagement farming tactics and bot networks that have historically inflated metrics on social platforms.

Oh no, we're hit with restrictions again. Now third-party tools are going to be rendered useless. --- Engagement farming is damn annoying, but a complete ban like this makes it tough for developers too. --- The good days for farm accounts are over... although I didn't use them much either. --- Damn, can I still use my aggregator? --- These spammers should have been dealt with a long time ago. So annoying. --- Web3 tools need to update their code again. Such a hassle.
