You can also follow this changelog in your feed reader via the [**RSS feed**](https://docs.x.com/changelog/rss.xml). + + ### X Chat API for encrypted direct messages + + Today, we launched the [X Chat API](/xchat/introduction), a new suite of endpoints for sending and receiving **end-to-end encrypted** direct messages on X. Message bodies are encrypted and signed on the client; X routes only ciphertext. + + - New endpoints under `/2/chat/*` for public keys, conversation keys, 1:1 and group conversations, messages, typing indicators, read receipts, and encrypted media upload/download. + - New [**Chat XDK**](/xchat/xchat-xdk) handles keys, encryption/decryption, and signing. Available for Python, TypeScript, Rust, Go, C#, and Java. + - Delivered via [webhooks or activity stream](/xchat/real-time-events) for live events, plus an events endpoint for history. + - Uses OAuth 2.0 user context with `dm.read` / `dm.write` scopes. + + See [Getting Started](/xchat/getting-started) to implement keys, send, and receive. + + + + ### Programmatic bot accounts + + Today, we launched [**Bot accounts**](/xchat/bots), a new way to run programmatic X accounts owned by your project. Bots are real accounts with a user id and @handle, but no password and no login: the only way to act as a bot is its bearer token. + + - [`POST /2/bots`](/x-api/bots/create-a-bot) creates a bot and returns a bearer token (`xcbot_…`) **once**. + - [`POST /2/bots/:id/token`](/x-api/bots/rotate-bot-token) rotates the token; [`DELETE /2/bots/:id/token`](/x-api/bots/revoke-bot-token) revokes it as a kill switch. + - [`GET /2/bots`](/x-api/bots/get-bots), [`PATCH /2/bots/:id`](/x-api/bots/update-bot), and [`DELETE /2/bots/:id`](/x-api/bots/delete-bot) list, update, and delete bots in the calling project. + - Default scopes: `dm.read, dm.write, tweet.read, users.read, media.write`. + - All endpoints use OAuth 2.0 app-only auth. Bot accounts carry an "Automated by @owner" label. + + + + ### Live video Broadcasts endpoints + + Today, we added new [Broadcasts endpoints](/x-api/broadcasts/list-broadcasts) for managing live video on X: + + - [`GET /2/broadcasts`](/x-api/broadcasts/list-broadcasts) and [`GET /2/broadcasts/{id}`](/x-api/broadcasts/get-a-broadcast) list and look up broadcasts. + - Schedule and manage upcoming broadcasts with [`POST`](/x-api/broadcasts/create-a-scheduled-broadcast), [`GET`](/x-api/broadcasts/get-a-scheduled-broadcast), [`PATCH`](/x-api/broadcasts/update-a-scheduled-broadcast), and [`DELETE`](/x-api/broadcasts/delete-a-scheduled-broadcast) on `/2/broadcasts/scheduled/{id}`. + - Start a scheduled broadcast with [`POST /2/broadcasts/scheduled/{id}/live`](/x-api/broadcasts/go-live-on-a-scheduled-broadcast). + - New chat moderation endpoints let you [read chat history](/x-api/broadcasts/get-broadcast-chat-history), [send messages](/x-api/broadcasts/send-a-chat-message-to-a-live-broadcast), [remove messages](/x-api/broadcasts/remove-a-chat-message-from-a-live-broadcast), and [mute or time out viewers](/x-api/broadcasts/mute-or-time-out-a-user-in-a-broadcast-chat). + + ### Media upload and Post-create size and duration limits
