Not sure how it is for others, but for me tapbot Tweetbot is working again since today; is the API back up?

Paul mentioned that they had a way to push new API info to the clients, so I think they basically just re-registered the app as a YOLO thing to see how long until Twitter pulls the plug again.

Tweetbot partially works because they're using new API keys:

It's a temporary workaround at best. The new API access is rate limited and Tweetbot will likely be banned again.

The new keys are already not working for me.

It certainly proves that the whole situation is intentional. Here's what Paul Haddad (Tweetbot developer) says about the new keys failing:

I was able to get an access token, and my timeline loads in Tweetbot, but I can't see mentions or activity, and I can't tweet from it.
