Authentication and Bring your own application

Important

The default shared application (Twitter Client application maintained by Microsoft) is no longer available. The connector now supports only one authentication type - Bring your own application. As of June 2023, it requires a paid Enterprise tier application. However, Twitter's pricing policy might continue to change.

With "Bring your own application" option, you can use your own Twitter OAuth Client application. This allows you to control permissions and enable certain limitations on the use of the connector.

To use your own Twitter OAuth Client application with the Twitter connector, you'll need to perform the following steps:

  1. Create an OAuth client application using Twitter developer page (https://developer.twitter.com)
  2. Use the application in the Twitter connector

Creating an OAuth Client Application in Twitter

To create your own Twitter OAuth client application, you'll need to first sign in to https://developer.twitter.com. Navigate to the "Projects & Apps" section which is where you can manage and create twitter applications. This process is explained in Twitter's Twitter Developer Guide. After creating twitter app on developer page following steps are required for proper setup:

  • Select your twitter app
  • Edit app permissions to enable read and write.
  • Edit authentication settings
    • Enable 3rd party authentication
    • Add "https://global.consent.azure-apim.net/redirect" for the callback URLs (NOTE: If you are using Fairfax subscription or GCC environment look at "Fairfax and GCC callbacks" section)
    • Set "Website URL" (required field, but it's value does not affect the flow)

Fairfax and GCC callbacks

If you are using Fairfax subscription or GCC environment add the following URLs for the callback URLs of your Twitter app:

Once you're done, select your twitter app and navigate to the "Keys and tokens" page. In the "Consumer Keys" section, click on "View Keys" button, to get the API key and the API key secret of your app. You can now use those values in your Twitter connection.

Using your own application in the Twitter connector

Once you create the Twitter OAuth client application, you can use it while creating a Twitter connection.

  • Select Bring your own application.
  • Specify the Client ID and Client secret values from your application. (Use the API key and the API key secret of your Twitter app)

Click on Sign in to sign into your Twitter account. This will prompt you to sign in to your Twitter account, and then authorize access to the Twitter app that you created above.

The following are some of the limits and restrictions:

  1. Maximum number of connections per user: 2
