Hello!
I am a user of n8n.cloud so I think the integration/credentials are a bit different from when I was using a self-hosted instance of n8n for the Twitter node.
We currently use n8n.cloud to automate Tweets for when YouTube channels under our organization go live on YouTube’s streaming service which is allowed by Twitter’s policies for automation. However, it seems that we are currently getting an error on n8n that indicates that an application is being restricted from doing write actions to Twitter (and any other test accounts I have added also cannot send any Tweets via n8n.cloud). When I previously used a self-hosted instance of n8n, we would include a client key and secret from an application we made, so when I previously had this issue, I was able to clear things up to Twitter to get the application unrestricted. However, with n8n.cloud, all we did was use oauth to authorize the Twitter account we want to automate tasks on, so I don’t know the underlying information to clear up this restricted application issue. I never had to include a client key/secret for n8n.cloud. Twitter asks for a variety of things for a restricted app to get it unrestricted, including the app name, application id, and consumer key, which I don’t have access to with how the n8n.cloud platform works.
I’m wondering if there is some guidance to this issue (maybe other Twitter node users have run into it for n8n.cloud?) or if there’s any more information I can get to forward to Twitter. Or if all I can do is attempt to contact Twitter and mention the account that I’m working with (not sure how Twitter developer applications work on n8n.cloud’s backend). At the very least, it appears that the payload contains a consumer key but not any application information.
Here are some images of what’s occurring as well:
