get-twitter-bearer-token

This is a convenience method to obtain an application bearer token for the Twitter api. It sends a request to /oauth2/token endpoint with the correctly formatted credentials (base64 encoded consumer key and secret) and headers.

This is only meant to be used once per application/token, since the token needs to be explicitly invalidated to stop working.

Install

npm i

Usage

const getBearerToken = require('get-twitter-bearer-token')

const twitter_consumer_secret = 'your-consumer-secret'
 
getBearerToken(twitter_consumer_key, twitter_consumer_secret, (err, res) => {
  if (err) {
    // handle error
  } else {
  
    // bearer token
    console.log(res.body.access_token)
  }
})
