Twitter Addon
johnny
Using the Twitter Feed addon and I am being asked for the following information
- Consumer Key
- Consumer Secrete
- Access Token
- Access Token Secrete
When I created an app on developer.twitter.com I am only given the following details;
- API Key
- API Key Secret
- Bearer Token
- Access Token
- Access Token Secret
I have entered these but the twitter feed addon error is;
Error Insert access token secrete key for twitter feed slider addon
When I click apply in the twitter addon after entering the details nothing happens, same error.
I looked at the browser console and I see this error;
POST localhost/mysite/index.php?option=com_sppagebuilder&view=ajax&format=json&callback=addon 500 (Internal Server Error)
Can someone advise?

Accepted AnswerPlease take a full site backup with Akeeba Backup in ZIP format and share here. Follow this tutorial. Then I will check it on my localhost.

Accepted AnswerIf you use the API details in any API testing platform such as Postman you can see that they work.

Accepted AnswerApology for the delay. I have tried our test API and it seems to be working. Please check this page:

But when I tried with your API, it does not work. So, it might be an issue with your API key. Please check and verify your API key with Twitter. Then try it again.

Accepted AnswerHi, further to above, can anyone please advise what Consumer Key Consumer Secrete correspond to, as Twitter just gives you API Key and Access Token and secret ?
Thanks.johnny
Accepted AnswerHi Kim,
I could never get this to work and it was never explained to me what it was... so I ended up simply embedding the widget provided by Twitter. It's MUCH easier https://publish.twitter.com/#
