New feature X Severity: low
X API lets Premium users edit recent posts
What changed
On October 3, 2025 X added the ability to edit recent posts via POST /2/posts using a new edit_options object. The changelog states the user must have X Premium, the post must be their own, and it must have been created within the last hour.
What it means
A tool can now fix a typo in a post it just published, for Premium accounts only.
Who is affected
Developers of scheduling tools, and users with X Premium.
What to do
If you want to offer edits, send POST /2/posts with an edit_options object containing previous_post_id. It works only for the user's own post created within the last hour, and the user needs X Premium.
