¶ Notes
- If you don't have a Twitter account yet, please go to the Twitter platform (opens new window) to register an account.
- Go to the Twitter Developer Platform (opens new window) to complete the account information, and apply for Elevated access permissions (opens new window) for the account.
- If you have not opened a GenAuth console account, please go to GenAuth Console (opens new window) to register a developer account;
¶ Step 1: Create a Twitter application
1.1 Create a project. In the sidebar Projects & Apps, select Overview, and in the Elevated directory, click +New Project.
Fill in Project Name, Usage Scenario, Project Description in turn, and start creating the application.
During the development stage, select Development for the application environment first, and switch to Production after debugging is completed
After filling in the name, you will see APP Key and APP Key Secret. Record them first, and they will be used when configuring the GenAuth console
¶ Step 2: Configure Twitter mobile login in the GenAuth console
2.1 On the "Social Identity Source" page of the GenAuth Console, click the "Create Social Identity Source" button to enter the "Select Social Identity Source" page, select the "Twitter" identity source button, and enter the "Twitter Mobile Login Mode" page.
2.3 Please configure the relevant field information on the "Social Identity Source" - "Twitter Mobile" page of the GenAuth Console console.
| Field/Function | Description |
|---|---|
| Unique ID | a. The unique ID consists of lowercase letters, numbers, and -, and its length is less than 32 bits. b. This is the unique ID of this connection and cannot be modified after setting. |
| Display Name | This name will be displayed on the button of the end user's login interface. |
| API Key | Application ID, which needs to be obtained on the Twitter platform |
| API Key Secret | Application key, which needs to be obtained on the Twitter platform |
| Login Mode | After turning on "Login Only Mode", you can only log in to existing accounts, and cannot create new accounts. Please choose carefully. |
After the configuration is completed, click the "Create" or "Save" button to complete the creation.
In the project created by Twitter, select the application you just created, scroll down, and under the User authentication settings column, click the Set Up button to enter the authentication settings page 
Select the App permissions as needed. The default selection of Read can meet the authentication function 
If you forget the application key, you can click Keys and tokens on the application page and select Regenerate to regenerate it. 
After completing the configuration, return to the application settings page, click Edit, and switch the application environment to Production. 
¶ Step 3: Development access
Recommended development access method: SDK
Advantages and disadvantages: Simple operation and maintenance, which is handled by GenAuth. Each user pool has an independent secondary domain name; if you need to embed it in your application, you need to log in using the pop-up mode, that is: after clicking the login button, a window will pop up with the login page hosted by GenAuth, or redirect the browser to the login page hosted by GenAuth.
Detailed access method:
3.1 Create an application in the GenAuth console. For details, see: How to create an application in GenAuth
3.2 On the created Twitter mobile identity source connection details page, open and associate an application created in the GenAuth console
3.3 Experience Twitter third-party login on the login page (as shown in ](#end user preview image)).
