403 Forbidden - "you’ll need to apply for Elevated access via the Developer Portal" vs. API v2 Essential Access

I'm starting up an instance and had hoped to use my Essential API access that's given freely to anyone. I configured BSL to use my access key and started it up, typed in a popular twitter account, to find the below error message in the log. My mistake for not checking the API version.

My goal is to be able to quickly get friends and clients started running their own instances; using Essential access would be desirable if possible, and if not we could provide copy for the application.

I haven't done .NET development in a long time so it'd take some time for me to migrate this project myself but it's plausible that I could do it. Posting this here to see if switching to v2 has been considered and perhaps get the copy that should be used in the application to describe what this is doing.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.
