Twitter API oauth/request token page does not exist-CodePudding

Using node twitter package https://www.npmjs.com/package/twitter Twitter: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/authentication/oauth-1-0a/obtaining-user-access-tokens

I'm trying to post a tweet for someone.

Tell me what's wrong with this:

var Twitter = require('twitter');

const client = new Twitter({
    consumer_key: process.env.TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY,
    consumer_secret: process.env.TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET,
    access_token_key: process.env.TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_KEY,
    access_token_secret: process.env.TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET
});

client.post('oauth/request_token', {oauth_callback: process.env.CALLBACKURL})
    .then(response => {
        console.debug('got twitter token',response);
        res.redirect('https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authenticate?oauth_token='   response.oauth_token)})
    .catch(function(err) {
        console.error('failed to authenticate twitter', 'twitter-lite', err, res.locals.host);
        console.log(err);
    });

[ { message: 'Sorry, that page does not exist', code: 34 } ]

I'm having trouble with the simplest things while trying to use the twitter API. Doesn't help that there's no good examples.

CodePudding user response：

The module you're trying to use has not received any updated in the past 4 years. It's somewhat likely that in that time, Twitter has changed the URLs they're using for authorization/authentication.

You should probably be using something a bit more up-to-date, like twitter-api-v2.
