<Update label="Sep 25, 2026" description="X API v2">
### New features

- **X Activity API subscription expiration**: Pass an optional `expires_at` timestamp (RFC 3339) when creating a subscription, and XAA deletes it automatically at that time. To change the expiration, `POST` the same subscription again with a new `expires_at`. See [Subscription expiration](/x-api/activity/introduction#subscription-expiration).
- **OAuth 2.0 client secret for webhook security**: Webhook POSTs now include an `X-Twitter-Webhooks-Signature-OAuth2` header signed with your app's OAuth 2.0 client secret. Generate CRC `response_token` values with the same secret. Apps that only have an OAuth 1.0 consumer secret keep receiving `X-Twitter-Webhooks-Signature` unchanged. See [Signature headers](/x-api/webhooks/introduction#signature-headers).

### Updates

- **`is_moderator` in `broadcast.chat` events**: The [`broadcast.chat`](/x-api/activity/event-payloads#broadcast-chat) payload now includes an `is_moderator` boolean. The broadcast owner is reported as `is_moderator: false` in their own broadcast.
- **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 the [permission-to-scope mapping](/fundamentals/authentication/oauth-2-0/oauth-1-0a-token-exchange).
- **Livestream API access**: The [Livestream API](/livestream-api/introduction) is available to allowlisted apps. It is not limited to Enterprise. Request access with the [Livestream API Access Form](/forms/livestream-api-access).
