How to Get Twitter Auth Keys

Step-by-Step Guide​

  1. Go to the Twitter Developer Dashboard. If you don’t have a developer account, sign up first.
  2. Once you’re in the developer dashboard, select Projects & Apps from the sidebar.
  3. You’ll see a nested structure where the first level is the Project, and the inner level contains the Application.
  4. Click on your application, which will take you to the app details page. Scroll down until you see User authentication settings.
  5. Click Setup, which will guide you through the "User authentication settings".
  6. Under Type of App, select Web App, Automated App, or Bot.
  7. In the App Info section, set the Callback URI / Redirect URL to http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/twitter.
  8. After adding your domain, you’ll receive your Client ID and Client Secret.

Add these credentials to your .env file:

TWITTER_CLIENT_ID=your-twitter-client-id
TWITTER_CLIENT_SECRET=your-twitter-client-secret
