Research X developer accounts

1. Does basic tier provide enough tweets per month for the app?
2. Does basic tier allow users to link to additional content without having to sign up for an account with X?
3. Does basic tier allow us to read posts from a specific Twitter account to post via our own system?

Basic tier has a 10,000 post read limit. Wayne is researching past usage to determine if that's a limit that would work for us.

Radical idea. Can we just use Twitter's HTML embeds and not use the API at all? Here is the HTML embed code for the Traffic account, but it exists for all the different accounts. <a class="twitter-timeline" data-lang="en" data-theme="light" href="https://twitter.com/wsdot_traffic?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">Tweets by wsdot_traffic</a> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> And here is what that feed would look like https://publish.twitter.com/?lang=en&query=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fwsdot_traffic&theme=light&widget=Timeline
