Issue with event payload after succesfully registering webhook (nodejs, express app, twitter module)

[bot_unimi]

Hello there,

I’m running into some issues regarding the event payload.
When I try to read the body of the request (after twitter makes a post request when an event happens) it says it is undefined… What could be the problem of this?!

This is to show you that my webhook is registered:

As you can see in the console my app outputs the Webhook ID found in the above code.

This is what my app does when it receives an event notification from twitter

This is what I get when I favorite one of my bot’s tweets (which triggers an event)
You can read the EVENT PAYLOAD (which is our req.body) is undefined

Thanks in advance.

This is likely an issue with the config of your express server.
You need to make sure you’re using the json parser and url encoded parser.

this.app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
this.app.use(bodyParser.json());

for example

This did it! Thank you very much

No problem. I ran into the same issue myself!
