# Twitter OAuth2

You will need to create a Twitter app with OAuth 2.0 enabled and configure the Twitter provider for your Django application via the admin interface.

## App registration

To register an app on Twitter you will need a Twitter account. With an account, you can create a new app via:

    https://developer.twitter.com/en/portal/dashboard

In the app creation form fill in the development callback URL:

    http://127.0.0.1:8000/accounts/twitter_oauth2/login/callback/

For production use a callback URL such as:

    http://{{yourdomain}}.com/accounts/twitter_oauth2/login/callback/

## App database configuration through admin

The second part of setting up the Twitter provider requires you to configure your Django application. Configuration is done by creating a SocialApp object in the admin. Add a social app on the admin page:

    /admin/socialaccount/socialapp/

Use the twitter keys tab of your application to fill in the form. It’s located:

    https://developer.twitter.com/en/portal/projects/{project-id}/apps/{app-id}/keys

The configuration is as follows:

- Provider, “Twitter”

- Name, your pick, suggest “Twitter”

- Client id, is called “OAuth2.0 Client ID” on Twitter

- Secret key, is called “OAuth2.0 Client Secret” on Twitter

- Key, is not needed, leave blank
