<Update label="Aug 31, 2026" description="X API v2">
### Filter qualifiers for X Activity API subscriptions

We added an optional `filter.qualifiers` map to [X Activity API](/x-api/activity/introduction) subscriptions. Qualifiers narrow which events match a subscription. Use `conversation_type` (`direct` or `group`) on `chat.received`, and `direction` (`inbound` or `outbound`) on `follow.follow`, `follow.unfollow`, and `like.create`. Each subscription supports up to 8 qualifiers. Learn more in [Filter qualifiers](/x-api/activity/introduction#filter-qualifiers).

### Broadcast start and end events for X Activity API

We added `broadcast.start` and `broadcast.end` events to the [X Activity API](/x-api/activity/introduction). Subscribe by User ID to receive real-time notifications when a user starts or ends a live broadcast. Both are public events, so you can subscribe with either app-only or user-context authentication. See the [sample payloads](/x-api/activity/event-payloads).

### Usage credits endpoint

We added [`GET /2/usage/credits`](/x-api/usage/get-usage-credits) to the [Usage endpoints](/x-api/usage/introduction). It returns your Pay-Per-Use credit balance in USD, so you can monitor your remaining credits programmatically.

### `is_subscriber` field on `broadcast.chat` events

The `broadcast.chat` event payload in the X Activity API now includes an `is_subscriber` boolean, indicating whether the chat message author is a subscriber. See the [event payloads](/x-api/activity/event-payloads) page for an updated sample.
