Hello, community!

I created an App, grant it access (Read + Write + Read and post direct messages), created a dev environment, set the environment to Account Activity API to get access to the sandbox. Now I try to check API using postman. (postman and twitter gem in my case)

For checking access I used:

  1. GET /1.1/account/verify_credentials.json - responded 200 with data;
  2. GET /1.1/account_activity/all/webhooks.json - responded 200 with data; No hooks registered;
  3. Then I try to register webhook using: POST /1.1/account_activity/all/dev/webhooks.json?url=https://{mynumbers}ngrok.io- and get 401 “Could not authenticate you.”

Is the ngrok.io url added to the app configuration in Callback URLs?

Also, how exactly are you authenticating calls? Because GET account_activity/all/webhooks is Bearer (app only) token while POST /1.1/account_activity/all/dev/webhooks.json requires user auth (access token + secret) Premium Account Activity API | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform

  1. in which input field should be this ngrok url? WEBSITE URL? or CALLBACK URLS?
    And should it be just like that https://{mynumbers}ngrok.io or https://{mynumbers}ngrok.io/twitter_callback?

  2. GET account_activity/all/webhooks I authenticated with bearer, but POST I authenticated with “OAuth oauth_consumer_key…” same as verify_credentials.json - which is returning 200 OK

Yeah - it should be in Callback URLs, and /twitter_callback depends on how your server is set up to respond - eg, this one is /listener GitHub - twitivity/twitivity: Twitter Accounts Activity API Client Library for Python other code may have a different route.

Yeah, this is exactly how I established it. Does not work.

What language / library are you using - do you have code samples? Was it in Ruby with twitter gem or in postman?

Does it work if you use an alternative implementation? GitHub - twitterdev/account-activity-dashboard: Sample web app and helper scripts to get started with the premium Account Activity API (I know for sure this code works)

I’m using this gem and postman

postman request is:

POST /1.1/account_activity/all/deve/webhooks.json?url=https://4e42e128642e.ngrok.io/webhook/twitter HTTP/1.1
Host: api.twitter.com
Authorization: OAuth oauth_consumer_key="CONSUMER_KEY",oauth_token="TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN",oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1",oauth_timestamp="1628075146",oauth_nonce="OAUTH_NONCE",oauth_version="1.0",oauth_signature="OAUTH_SIGNATURE"
cache-control: no-cache
Postman-Token: 7f518f41-215b-4be6-9b14-01b20fa31131

I have 'https://4e42e128642e.ngrok.io/webhook/twitter’ in CALLBACK URLS and I have this route in my app. But got 401.

I tried account-activity-dashboard and it worked. I cannot understand this part:

1. Take note of the deployed URL, revisit your developer.twitter.com Apps **Settings** page, and add the following URL values as whitelisted Callback URLs:


http(s)://your.app.domain/callbacks/addsub
http(s)://your.app.domain/callbacks/removesub

But sending the request with https://your.app.domain/webhook/twitter

May be this is somehow related

This part is needed to add the extra urls to callback URLs in the app settings - that’s just how the code was written, it may be different in a different implementation.

It’s hard to say what’s missing where - but if account-activity-dashboard is working for you, then it may be worth going back over your code to see what the differences are - maybe a url or parameter is not being encoded correctly or something?

I just remembered there’s a good Ruby example in this repo SnowBotDev/setup_webhooks.rb at master · twitterdev/SnowBotDev · GitHub this part sets up a webhook - maybe it will help too
