X is a bit different.
They created an oAuth2 flow, but it works only with Twitter v2 API.
But in order to upload pictures to X, you need to use the old Twitter v1 API.
So we are going to use the normal oAuth1 flow for that (that supports Twitter v2 also 🤷🏻).
Head over the Twitter developers page and create a new app.
Click to sign-up for a new free account
Click to edit the application settings
The click to set up an authentication flow
In the App Permission set it to Read and Write
In the Type of App set it to Web App, Automated App or Bot
In the App Info set the Callback URI / Redirect URL
.
The OAuth2 Redirect URI is the location where the provider will redirect to after trying to login. This needs to set to your Postiz FRONTEND_URL
+ /integrations/social/
+ x
.
- eg: If you are running on a container, and your Postiz URL is:
https://postiz.example.com
, then your OAuth2 Redirect URI ishttps://postiz.example.com/integrations/social/x
- eg: If you are running on localhost, and your Postiz URL is
http://localhost:4200
, then your OAuth2 Redirect URI ishttp://localhost:4200/integrations/social/x
You only need to set one OAuth2 Redirect URI when you are setting up your Postiz app.
Save it and go to “Keys and Tokens” tab
Click on “Regenerate” inside “Consumer Keys” and copy the API Key
and API Key Secret
.
Open .env file and add the following:
X_API_KEY=""
X_API_SECRET=""
