Twitter Social Login with Magic

Twitter Social Login with Magic

#Overview

You can allow your users to sign up & log in to your web application with their Twitter account.

#Usage

#Prerequisites

  • You will need a Twitter Developer account (only free access is required)
    • Note: Twitter has recently deprecated their legacy Twitter API access tiers (essential and elevated packages are no longer available). If your application has been suspended as part of this, please sign up for the Free access tier to have it unsuspended.
  • You will need to have the Magic SDK installed into your web application
  • You will need to have the Magic SDK - OAuth Extension installed into your web application

#Twitter Setup (v1 extension)

After installing the OAuth extension, you can now enable Twitter Login for your Magic application:

  1. Go to your Magic Dashboard
  2. Select the Magic application for which you’d like to enable Twitter Login, or create a new application
  3. Navigate to Social Login from the sidebar
  4. Click the toggle for Twitter
  5. Copy the Redirect URI field from your Magic Dashboard
  6. Go to Twitter App Dashboard and navigate to Projects & Apps
  7. In the Overview section, click on Add Project
  8. Add your project name, use case and description
  9. Make sure to copy the API Key and API Key Secret to the Magic dashboard, which you can then use with your application that connects to Twitter
  10. Navigate to the application on the sidebar and click Set up under User authentication settings
  11. Fill out all of the required permissions and app type information
  12. Paste the Redirect URI from the Magic Dashboard in the Callback URI / Redirect URL and add your applications Website URL ⁠
  13. After saving these details for the first time, Twitter will then display an OAuth 2.0 Client ID and Client Secret. IMPORTANT: These are NOT the keys that Magic requires and can be ignored. The correct keys are the API Key and API Key Secret from step 9 of this walkthrough.
