Setting Up X (Twitter) Integration for SocialVibe

Twitter uses an OAuth2 flow for most features with its v2 API. However, to upload pictures, the older Twitter v1 API must be used. SocialVibe leverages the normal OAuth1 flow to ensure compatibility with both APIs. Follow these steps to set up the integration:

Step 1: Create a New App in Twitter Developer Portal

  1. Head over to the Twitter Developer Portal and log in to your account.
  2. Sign up for a new free developer account if you haven’t already.
  3. Create a new app in the Projects & Apps section.

Step 2: Configure Your App

  1. Navigate to the newly created app and click on the Settings icon.
  2. In the User Authentication Settings, click on Set Up and follow these configurations:
  3. App Permission: Set it to Read and Write.
  4. Type of App: Select Web App, Automated App, or Bot.
  5. Callback URI / Redirect URL: Enter the following URL: 
    https://socialvibe.spagreen.net/account/twitter/callback?medium=twitter
  6. Save the settings.

Step 3: OAuth2 Redirect URI

The OAuth2 Redirect URI is the location where Twitter will redirect after authentication. Use the URL specific to your setup:

  • For production: 
    https://socialvibe.spagreen.net/account/twitter/callback?medium=twitter
  • For localhost (development): Replace socialvibe.spagreen.net with your local development URL (e.g., http://localhost:4200/account/twitter/callback?medium=twitter).

Step 4: Obtain Keys and Tokens

  1. Go to the Keys and Tokens tab in your app settings.
  2. Copy the following credentials for use in SocialVibe:
  3. API Key
  4. API Secret
  5. Access Token
  6. Access Token Secret

Step 5: Finalize and Save

  1. Once you have completed the setup and entered the credentials in SocialVibe’s platform configuration, save the settings.
