🤖 For AI agents: The complete documentation index is available at /docs/llms.txt. A markdown version of this page is available at /docs/apis/identity-providers/twitter.md.
Available since 1.1.0

The Twitter/X 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.

FusionAuth will also store the Twitter access token returned from the OAuth v1.0 login workflow in the identityProviderLink object, in the identityProviderLink.token field. This object is accessible using the Link API.

The identityProviderLink object stores the token so that you can use it in your application to call Twitter APIs on behalf of the user if desired.

Note

Prior to version 1.28.0, the token was stored in the UserRegistration object, in the tokens Map.

Update a Twitter Identity Provider#

This API is used to update an existing Twitter Identity Provider.

You must specify all of the properties of the Twitter Identity Provider when calling this API with the PUT HTTP method. When used with PUT, this API doesn't merge the existing Twitter Identity Provider and your new data. It replaces the existing Twitter Identity Provider with your new data.

Utilize the PATCH HTTP method to send specific changes to merge into an existing Twitter Identity Provider.

identityProvider.tenantId UUID optional Available since 1.62.0

The unique Id of the Tenant.

Providing a value creates an identity provider scoped to the specified tenant, otherwise a global identity provider is created. Tenant-scoped identity providers can only be used to authenticate in the context of the specified tenant. Global identity providers can be used with any tenant.

This value is read-only once the identity provider is created.

identityProvider.type String required

This field must be set to Twitter.

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 tokens from Twitter. Using this API you can pass that set of tokens 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, depending on the configured linking strategy. The set of tokens returned from Twitter will be used to retrieve the user's email address or username and if that user does not yet exist in FusionAuth the user may be created.

If createRegistration 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 createRegistration has not been enabled, a registration will not be created if one does not yet exist. This is useful if you wish to manually provision users and then subsequently allow them to login with Twitter.

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 in the user's login record. 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. However, the request body value takes 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.

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.

Available since 1.25.0
If this value is an access token then it will not be sent to the Twitter OAuth Access Token API, and instead be directly used to call the Twitter Verify Credentials API to obtain user details. See notes in oauth_verifier.

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.

Available since 1.25.0
If this value is an access token then it will not be sent to the Twitter OAuth Access Token API, and instead be directly used to call the Twitter Verify Credentials API to obtain user details. See notes in oauth_verifier.

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.

Available since 1.25.0
You may optionally omit the oauth_verifier field if the values for oauth_token and oauth_token_secret are an access token. This allows for a use case where you are not using the FusionAuth themed login pages and you have integrated the Twitter login using this API and prior to calling FusionAuth you have already exchanged these values for a Twitter access token. In this scenario, you may take these two parameters representing the access token and FusionAuth will still complete the login for you by skipping the request to exchange the request token for an access token.

identityProviderId UUID required

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

connectionTestId String optional Available since 1.65.0

The Id of an identity provider connection test returned by the Start an Identity Provider Connection Test API.

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.

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. Prior to version 1.46.0, this value was restricted to the following types:

  • BROWSER
  • DESKTOP
  • LAPTOP
  • MOBILE
  • OTHER
  • SERVER
  • TABLET
  • TV
  • UNKNOWN
In version 1.46.0 and beyond, this value can be any string value you'd like, have fun with it!

newDevice Boolean optional Defaults to false

Indicates that this device has never been used by this user to log in before. One of many signals used to decide whether to issue an MFA challenge as part of Intelligent MFA or the MFA Requirement Lambda. When true, triggers the New Device Webhook.

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 used, in this scenario removing the additional latency required to issue and sign the JWT may have a measurable cumulative effect on performance.

noLink Boolean optional Defaults to false Available since 1.29.0

When this value is set to true, if a link does not yet exist to a FusionAuth user, a 404 status code will be returned instead of using the requested linking strategy. This may be useful if you want to identify if a link exists before starting a full interactive workflow with the user to complete a link.
