X (Twitter)

Connecting a developer account

Due to API restrictions from X, you will need to create and connect an X developer account to start the connection process. You can create a new account or access your existing X developer account here.

Next, access the project and navigate to Keys and tokens (example shown below):

When you click on the Keys and tokens button for your project, you should land in a page that looks like the following. Regenerate and save the API key, API secret, and OAuth client ID and secret as you will need to enter these into Relay.app:

Next, navigate to the Settings tab, and from there, click to edit the User authentication set up settings:

Lastly, in this page, enable "Read and write" permissions, choose "Web App" as the type of app, and enter https://run.relay.app/connect/callback/twitter as the callback URL

Lastly, in Relay.app, enter the API keys and OAuth client secret into the step connection dialog to complete the connection.

I am trying to connect X but don't see my API Key and API Secret in the X developer platform.

To connect X to Relay.app, you'll need an API Key, API Secret, OAuth Client ID, and OAuth Client Secret, as described above.

The API Key and API Secret are only shown when you create the app for the first time in console.x.com under Apps > Create App.

The OAuth Client ID and OAuth Client Secret will then be available once you click into the app.

Action rate limits

X rate-limits actions aggressively through their API. Relay.app is not able to circumvent those rate-limits. For convenience, these are the published limits for the actions we provide. If you encounter an error posting on X, then you may need to either stagger your requests to occur less frequently, or upgrade to a higher tier of paid X developer account. (Note that a developer account is distinct from X Premium or other paid X offerings.)
