Hello @hou_roc Welcome to the community

I suggest regenerating all of these

Then try connecting again. It should work.

Let me know if you still have any problems.

[hou_roc]

I have put my client id and client secret into the x connector, is “connect my account” necessary as well?
cause from the SS I have put I am having a problem with this part.

also why is the error is about access toekn?
am i not authenticating using oauth2 ? not access and scret?

[mohamed3nan]

also, check app permissions like this:

[hou_roc]

I have done that as well, but still not working.

[hou_roc]

I have the feeling that’s it could be the twitter ( I have basic plan )
Tried doing the same using multiple simpler connectors, and getting 503 from twitter.
Can anyone else test with their own app?

[mohamed3nan]

I think you’re using an outdated workflow here. Actually, there is a ready-to-use X/Twitter node you can use directly.

Also, the API works with the basic plan too.

Please take a look here for a sample workflow Post Media to X/Twitter via API (NEW)

Tried your flow and getting Unable to sign without access token here too:

[mohamed3nan]

Well, I’m sure you just need to go step by step.

First:

Second: Regenerate all of these:

Finally: Copy the new generated secrets to n8n and connect.

Thank you, looks like I needed to wait a bit until the added callback URL change in dev dashboard take effect.

I have been having the same issues. I made sure that i have all the right authentication setting in the X developer portal, Read and write and Direct message Read Posts and profile information, read and post Direct messages. I have re generated all my keys and tokens. I believe that there is an issue with x or n8n. Something has changed. I will post my code below with out the keys and tokens.
