The following posts shows an easy way to automate Tweets using the latest Twitter API V2
The OAUTH Access token received from Twitter is only valid for 2 hours. The code will autoatically refreh the token.
You need offline.access to your scopes, this way you will get a refresh token
The NuGet Packages will developped step by step, giving you more features.
Prerequisites
Get Access & Refresh Token
- Scopes:
tweet.read%20tweet.write%20users.read%20offline.access - Create a Web Page, and add the link to your App OAUTH Settings (This can be a localhost)
- CodeVerifier is an unique text, and should be saved temp., as in the next step, you will need it again. This parameter is required for Twitter OAUTH2
TwitterHelper _twitter = new()
{
ClientId = "CLIENT APP ID";
ClientSecret = "CLIENT APP SECRET",
RedirectUri = "YOUR PAGE URL TO REDIRECT",
Scope = "TWITTER SCOPES,
CodeVerifier = "Dhk87jJsks234"
};
ViewBag.TwitterOAuthRequestUrl = _twitter.GetOAuthTokenUrl();
ViewBag.TwitterOAuthRequestUrl is the link the user should click on.
When the user accept your scopes and is redirected to your webpage
TwitterHelper _twitter = new()
{
ClientId = "CLIENT APP ID";
ClientSecret = "CLIENT APP SECRET",
CodeVerifier = "Dhk87jJsks234",
UseUrlEncodedHeader = true,
OAuthCode = code,
};
await _twitter.GetAccessToken();
The access code, refresh code, expiry dates are now accessible via _twitter object and you can save them in a database, or appsettings file
Send a Tweet
async Task SendTweet()
{
// Load the Access & Refresh Token, Access Expiry Date
TwitterHelper _twitter = new("CLIENT APP ID",
"CLIENT APP SECRET",
"ACCESS TOKEN",
"ACCESS TOKEN EXPIRY DATE",
"REFRESHTOKEN"
);
var _tweetID = await _twitter.Tweet("Hello Twitter! via CodeHelper.API.Twitter.V2");
// when changed: save your Access & Refresh Token, Access
// Expiry Date
}
