FOSS front ends like Nitter provide a RSS feed for Twitter feeds. Invidious for YouTube and Teddit for Reddit also work, though the original sites in this case still provide their own RSS feeds.



How long until momma bird locks out whatever api nitter is using?


The point of Nitter is that it uses the API their official web client (which is a JS SPA) is using. They can't lock out Nitter without also locking their own frontend out.


Twitter can alter that API at any point, since they can update their front-end at the same time.

Not possible as long as the pages are not walled behind a login.


They seem to be pretty stable when it comes to their APIs. Over 5 years ago I built a small service to provide your personal Twitter main timeline as an RSS feed. Never touched it since. Still works.

Newpipe for Android is also good and available in the f-droid market.
