This is how you can use twitter pin based oauth in node.js / typescript.
Steps:
Step 1
Install @vanxh/tw-oauth in your project
npm install @vanxh/tw-oauth
# or
yarn add @vanxh/tw-oauth
Step 2
Import TWoauth
import { TwoAuth } from 'twoauth';
Step 3
Create a new TWoauth instance
const tw = new TwoAuth("API KEY", "API SECRET");
Step 4
Get an authorization URL
const { token, tokenSecret, authorizationUrl } = await tw.getAuthorizationUrl();
console.log(authorizationUrl);
Step 5
Use the pin you get after authentication on the authorization URL in Step 4 to get the access token and access token secret.
const { accessToken, accessTokenSecret } = await tw.getAccessToken(pin, token, tokenSecret);
Full Usage Example
Check out the library on github.
import { TwoAuth } from 'twoauth';
import inquirer from "inquirer";
import open from "open";
const tw = new TwoAuth("API KEY", "API SECRET");
const { token, tokenSecret, authorizationUrl } = await tw.getAuthorizationUrl();
console.log("Please visit the following URL to authorize the app.");
console.log(authorizationUrl);
open(authorizationUrl);
const { pin } = await inquirer.prompt([{
type: "number",
name: "pin",
message: "Paste the PIN here:",
filter: (value) => (value >= 0 && value <= 9_999_999) ? value : Promise.reject(`Invalid PIN: ${value}`)
}]);
const { accessToken, accessTokenSecret } = await tw.getAccessToken(pin, token, tokenSecret);
console.log("Access Token:", accessToken);
console.log("Access Token Secret:", accessTokenSecret);
// Use the access token and access token secret to make API calls to Twitter API.
