If you don't have a Twitter app, you can create one here.

  1. Go to the Twitter Developer Portal and log in with your Twitter account.
  2. Click on the Create an app button.
  3. Fill in the required details and click on the Create button.

Step 2: Configure the Twitter app​

  2. Go to the Settings tab and enable Allow this application to be used to Sign in with Twitter.
  3. Go to the App permissions tab and enable the permissions you want to use.

  2. Select Twitter from the list of providers.
  3. Paste the API key and API secret key from the Keys and tokens tab of the Twitter app.

Authenticate with Twitter​

To begin authenticating with Twitter you request a redirect url with the proper scopes

Request
curl --location --request GET 'http://localhost:3000/authentication/init/twitter'
Response
{
    "result": "https://twitter.com/i/oauth2/authorize?client_id=ZURSUXNqX2Q5T1RmcDNCenJBZE46MTpjaQ&redirect_uri=http://localhost:3000/hook/authentication/twitter&response_type=code&response_mode=query&scope=tweet.read%20users.read%20offline.access&code_challenge=LBVjPhkdXdFvZZdn3OvsyvwZAQRrr05-N_oprH3EBWo&code_challenge_method=S256&state=006f65b0-a26c-4a69-aa29-6145d8506cc6"
}

Open a browser and navigate to the url returned to you from Conduit. Now the /hook/authentication route has been triggered. Once your browser has been redirected, your authentication has been completed.
