Obtaining Authentication Credentials
To authenticate the Twitter connector you will need a Twitter developer account and to have created a developer app.
Please refer to the official Twitter documentation for a comprehensive guide on setting up API access.
To summarize:
-
If you don’t already have one, you can sign up for a developer account here
-
When you have a developer account set up, go to your App dashboard
-
Click “Create an App” in the upper right corner (unless you intend to use an existing app)
-
Of most importance are the Callback URL and permissions
-
The Callback URL for the App should be https://{Your Cyclr service domain e.g. app-h.cyclr.com}/connector/callback
-
The permissions for the App should be “Read, write, and Direct Messages”
-
Make a note of the API Key and Secret (also known as Consumer Key and Secret) as these are what you will need to authenticate the connector
Connector Setup
-
Locate the Twitter connector
Cyclr Console > Connectors > Connector Library > Twitter
-
From the Edit Connector interface click ‘Setup’
-
Enter your Consumer Key and Consumer Secret, click ‘Next’
-
You will be presented with a twitter login modal. Log in and authorise the connector’s access
You will then be redirected to Cyclr where the connector is now authenticated and ready to use.
