Hello, I’m trying to use the twitter api to tweet “test!!” my issue is that it’ll return with a 403 error. I’m unsure why this is happening.

My code:

const app = require('express')()
const TwitterApi = require("twitter-api-v2").default
let currentCodeVerifier = ""

const twitterClient = new TwitterApi({
    clientId: "id",
    clientSecret: "secret"
})

app.get("/callback", async(req, res) => {

   twitterClient.loginWithOAuth2({
        code: req.query.code, 
        codeVerifier: currentCodeVerifier,
        redirectUri: "http://localhost:3000/callback"
    })
    .then(async ({client}) => {
        await client.v2.tweet("test!!")
        res.sendStatus(200)
    })
    .catch((e) => {
        console.log(e)
        res.send("invalid")
    });
})

app.get('/redirect', (req, res) => {
    const {url, codeVerifier} = twitterClient.generateOAuth2AuthLink("http://localhost:3000/callback", { scope: ['tweet.write'] })
    currentCodeVerifier = codeVerifier
    res.redirect(url)
})

app.listen(3000, () => {
    console.log("LISTENING")
})

I assume that everything here is fine, but im unsure why this happens. It redirects to my callback and it seems to work fine, just doesn’t send a tweet.

my oauth2 settings:

#3

403 Error is an Authentication Error.

You remembered to use an API Key, right?

If not, then you’ll need one in order to use the API.

may I ask what you mean by API key? I thought all you needed was the ClientId and the ClientSecrect

Take a look at Step 2 of the Getting Started Guide :slight_smile:
