Getting Started#
In order to connect your Twitter account to Pipedream, you'll need to create a developer project and app.
- First, visit Twitter's developer dashboard and sign in
- Next, create a new project and give it a name, select a use case, and provide a description
Creating a Project and App
- Provide a name for your app
- Note the API Key and API Key Secret that are displayed (the setup isn't done yet, but note these down)
- Click "App settings" at the bottom right of the screen
Configuring Authentication Settings
- In the bottom of your app's settings, in the "User Authentication Settings", choose "Set Up"
- Select the appropriate app permissions based on your use case
- Select "Web App, Automated App or Bot (Confidential client)" in the "Type of App" section
- Enter this URI in the "Callback URI / Redirect URI":
https://api.pipedream.com/connect/oauth/oa_gk6iBa/callback - Enter a website URL
- Click "Done" (the Client ID and Client Secret that are shown on the next page are not required for this setup)
- Enter the API Key and API Key Secret when prompted in Pipedream (if you lose them and need to regenerate new keys, you can do so from the "Keys and tokens" tab in your app's settings in Twitter's developer dashboard, in the "Consumer Keys" section)

Troubleshooting#
Below are some of the most common issues we see.
Issues Connecting Twitter
If you run into an error during the app connection process, make sure to doublecheck the below configurations:
- Ensure that you've entered the correct
developer_consumer_keyanddeveloper_consumer_secretin Pipedream. These map to Twitter's "API Key" and "API Key Secret" in the "Keys & Tokens" section in their dashboard. - Make sure the "Callback URI / Redirect URL" that you configure within the "User Authentication settings" for your app in Twitter's developer console exactly matches:
https://api.pipedream.com/connect/oauth/oa_gk6iBa/callback
Errors from Twitter's API or Twitter Sources and Actions
- Free Twitter developer accounts only have access to write endpoints (for example, actions like "Create Tweet" and "Create Retweet")
- Twitter developer accounts on their Basic plan have access to write and read endpoints (for example, actions like "Create Tweet" and "Search Tweets", as well as sources like "New Post Matching Query")
- If you are getting errors from the Twitter sources or actions, please consult the developer plan to confirm if you have access to those endpoints.
Authentication#
Twitter uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Twitter account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Twitter and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Twitter API.
Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
do not useOAuth Request Configurations:
- requestToken
POSThttps://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token - authorization

A Look at Pipedream
I'm going to build a workflow that will search Twitter every hour for a keyword. It will take the results, format them nicely, and then email it.
Building a Google Sheets Twitter Bot with Pipedream
This is something that's been kicking around my head for a week or so and today I thought I'd try it. It ended up taking about 20 minutes total and 10 lines of code, of which 5 are a function I copied and pasted. While what I built is kind of trivial, I'm blown away by how much was done by built-in functions with Pipedream and how little work I had to do myself. In fact, most of my time was spent in setting stuff up outside of Pipedream itself. Alright, so what did I build?
Building a Twitter Bot in Pipedream
I did this by parsing information from the GI Joe wikipedia site and implementing it on Pipedream's platform. I'm going to share how I built it, but be aware that roughly 95% of the work was involved in getting my random character. The aspects that pertain to Pipedream were incredibly simple - which is what you want in a platform.

Building a Twitter Scheduling System with Pipedream and Google Sheets
A few months ago, I blogged about how I used Pipedream and Google Sheets to create a Twitter bot. The idea was simple - read a sheet - select a random row - and use that as the source of a new Tweet. I was thinking about this recently and how useful Google Sheets can be as a "light weight CMS" and figured out another interesting use case - Twitter scheduling.
