Twitter Identity Provider APIs

Overview

This API has been available since 1.1.0

The Twitter identity provider type will use the Twitter OAuth v1.0 login API. it will provide a Login with Twitter button on FusionAuth’s login page that will leverage the Twitter login page directly. Additionally, this identity provider will call Twitter’s /1.1/account/verify_credentials.json API to load additional details about the user and store them in FusionAuth.

The email address returned by Twitter will be used to create or lookup the existing user. Additional claims returned by Twitter can be used to reconcile the User to FusionAuth by using a Twitter Reconcile Lambda. Unless you assign a reconcile lambda to this provider, on the email address will be used from the available claims returned by Twitter.

Twitter does not require a user to have an email address. However, to prevent account hijacking and take-over, FusionAuth prevents users from logging in with Twitter unless they have setup an email address in their Twitter account. Keep this in mind as you enable this identity provider.

Finally, FusionAuth stores the Twitter access token that is returned from the OAuth v1.0 login workflow in the UserRegistration object inside the tokens Map. This Map stores the tokens from the various identity providers so that you can use them in your application to call their APIs.

This is useful for debugging purposes, but is not intended to be left on during production. It should be enabled during integration or if you are experiencing an issue with this identity provider.

identityProvider.enabled [Boolean] Optional defaults to false

Determines if this provider is enabled. If it is false then it will be disabled globally.

identityProvider.lambdaConfiguration.reconcileId [UUID] Optional Available since 1.17.0

Complete the Twitter Login

This API allows you to complete a Twitter login after authenticating a user using the Twitter API. If you are using the FusionAuth login UI with the Twitter button you will not utilize this API directly.

This API is intended to be used if you want to build your own login page and you have added the Twitter login button to your own login page and you then need to complete the login with FusionAuth.

For example, if you built your own login page, you could add a Login with Twitter button and complete the Twitter authentication. When you complete the Twitter authentication you will have been returned several tokens from Twitter. Using this API you can pass those tokens returned from Twitter to FusionAuth and we will complete the login workflow and reconcile the user to FusionAuth.

The user does not need to exist yet in FusionAuth to utilize this API. The token returned from Twitter will be used to retrieve the user’s email address, if that user does not yet exist in FusionAuth the user will be created. If create registration has been enabled for this identity provider and the user does not yet have a registration for this application, a registration will be automatically created for the user. The user will be assigned any default roles configured for the application. If create registration has not been enabled, a registration will not be created if one does not yet exist. This last scenario is useful if you wish to manually provision users and then subsequently allow them to login with Twitter.

Request

Complete Twitter Login

URI

POST /api/identity-provider/login

Request Headers

X-Forwarded-For [String] Optional

The IP address of a client requesting authentication. If the IP address is provided it will be stored for login history of the user. It is generally preferred to specify the IP address in the request body. If it is not provided in the request body this header value will be used if available, the request body value will take precedence.

X-FusionAuth-TenantId [String] Optional

The unique Id of the tenant used to scope this API request.

The tenant Id is not required on this request even when more than one tenant has been configured because the tenant can be identified based upon the request parameters or it is otherwise not required.

Specify a tenant Id on this request when you want to ensure the request is scoped to a specific tenant. The tenant Id may be provided through this header or by using a tenant locked API key to achieve the same result.

See Making an API request using a Tenant Id for additional information.

Request Body

applicationId [UUID] Required

The Id of the Application the user is to be logged into. This application must have Twitter login enabled for this request to succeed.

identityProviderId [UUID] Required

The unique Id of the identity provider to process this login request.

For the Twitter identity provider, this value will always be 45bb233c-0901-4236-b5ca-ac46e2e0a5a5.

ipAddress [String] Optional

The IP address of the end-user that is logging into FusionAuth. If this value is omitted FusionAuth will attempt to obtain the IP address of the client, the value will be that of the X-Forwarded-For header if provided or the last proxy that sent the request. The IP address will be stored in the User login history.

data.oauth_token [String] Required

The Twitter oauth token returned from their login API. This token will be sent to the Twitter OAuth Access Token API as the oauth_token parameter.

data.oauth_token_secret [String] Required

The Twitter oauth token secret returned from their login API. This token will be used to sign the request to the OAuth Access Token API.

data.oauth_verifier [String] Required

The Twitter oauth verifier returned from their login API. This token will be sent to the Twitter OAuth Access Token API in the request body as the oauth_verifier parameter.

metaData.device.description [String] Optional

A human readable description of the device represented by the device parameter.

metaData.device.lastAccessedAddress [String] Optional

The IP address of this login request.

metaData.device.name [String] Optional

A human readable name of the device represented by the device parameter.

metaData.device.type [String] Optional

The type of device represented by the device parameter. The following types may be specified:

  • BROWSER

  • DESKTOP

  • LAPTOP

  • MOBILE

  • OTHER

  • SERVER

  • TABLET

  • TV

  • UNKNOWN

noJWT [Boolean] Optional defaults to false

When this value is set to true a JWT will not be issued as part of this request. The response body will not contain the token field, and the access_token and refresh_token cookies will not be written to the HTTP response.

This optional parameter may be helpful when performing high volume authentication requests and the JWT is not being utilized, in this scenario removing the additional latency required to issue and sign the JWT may have a measurable cumulative effect on performance.
