<Update label="Sep 23, 2026" description="X API v2">
### New features

- **Auto-expiring Activity API subscriptions.** Pass an optional `expires_at` (RFC 3339) when you create an X Activity API subscription, and X deletes it automatically at that time. To change the expiration, create the same subscription again with a new value. See [Subscription expiration](/x-api/activity/introduction#subscription-expiration).
- **Webhook signing with your OAuth 2.0 client secret.** Webhook POSTs now include an `X-Twitter-Webhooks-Signature-OAuth2` header signed with your app's OAuth 2.0 client secret. You can also compute CRC responses with this secret. The legacy `X-Twitter-Webhooks-Signature` header and OAuth 1.0 consumer secret remain supported. See [Signature verification](/x-api/webhooks/quickstart#signature-verification).
- **Livestream API access form.** Request Livestream API access for your app through the new [Livestream API Access Form](/forms/livestream-api-access). Source and broadcast endpoints are available to approved apps only.

### Updates

- **`is_moderator` in `broadcast.chat` events.** The `broadcast.chat` payload now includes an `is_moderator` boolean for the message author. The broadcast owner is reported as `false`. See [Event payloads](/x-api/activity/event-payloads).
- **Broadcast scopes in OAuth 1.0a token exchange.** Exchanged tokens now include `broadcast.read` for Read apps and `broadcast.write` for Read and write apps. See [Migrating OAuth 1.0a user tokens to OAuth 2.0](/fundamentals/authentication/oauth-2-0/oauth-1-0a-token-exchange).
