Twitter provider setup for Users & Permissions#

The present page explains how to setup the Twitter provider for the Users & Permissions feature.

You have read the Users & Permissions providers documentation.

:::caution Paid API access required
Twitter (now X) restructured its API access in 2023. Strapi's built-in Twitter provider uses the v1.1 API (account/verify_credentials), which is no longer available on the free tier. You need a Basic or Pro plan on the X Developer Portal to use this provider. The developer portal URLs and setup flow have also changed since the rebranding.
