Twitter Node using API V2

Hi everyone
I have an issue with Twitter API V2.
First of all the documentation is a bit outdated, I think Twitter has made some new changes in their developer portal
Also I still have many problems using a simple node of twitter
After credential setup, I am not able to test even with a simple tweet creation.
My error message is

You currently have Essential access which includes access to Twitter API v2 endpoints only. If you need access to this endpoint, you’ll need to apply for Elevated access via the Developer Portal. You can learn more here: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/getting-started/about-twitter-api#v2-access-leve

Could this be a bug due to some twitter API changes ?

Hey @Rad,

Welcome to the community :cake:

The node is a bit outdated and we are aware that it needs an update but looking at the message you are getting back from Twitter you would need the Elevated access to use the node.

Thank you @Jon

But according to the Twitter developer portal with the API free tier we are supposed to be ale to post up to thousand tweets per month

I think the error message is generic though, the free tier still enables posting or creating tweets, no ?

Hey @Rad,

The free tier does but we don’t support the v2 endpoints at the moment we use v1.1 which requires Elevated Access.

Hey @Jon !
Aouch I see, ok it makes sense
Any plan to support v2 soon ? Elevated access jumps straight to 40$/months, which is a bit too much for my use case.
Any other alternative you can suggest to bypass this node in order to post tweets. The mode itself come in the middle of a larger workflow, any clever bypassing alternative will be more than welcome :slight_smile:

Hey @Rad,

We do plan to update the node but we also want to introduce PKCE support at the same time which is a fairly large change and may involve swapping out the oauth package we use which will need a lot of testing.

As a workaround you could try using the HTTP Request node to send to the v2 api but I have not tried this yet.
