Twitter (X) API Keys

Step-by-step guide to generate your X Developer API keys.

To connect your AI agent to Twitter (X), you'll first need to create a developer account, then set up an app, and finally retrieve your API credentials.

✅ 1. Create an App on the X Developer Portal

1. Go to Twitter Developer Portal.

2. Sign in and click “Developer Portal” in the top-right corner.

3. Choose the Free Account tier and click “Sign up”.

4. Fill out the form:

   • Check all the requested boxes.

   • In the “How will you use the API?” field, provide an example like:

I want to explore your API to automate publishing of our content <about what?>. The content includes satirical news commentary, unique visuals such as memes and videos. We also want to explore other accounts and their performance to make sure our content is relevant.

1. Submit the form — X will auto-create a Project and an App for you.

If you already have an app, skip to: “Adding an Existing App to the Project.”
