twauth-web

A simple Python + Flask web app that demonstrates the flow of obtaining a Twitter user OAuth access token.

1. Obtain consumer key and secret from the Twitter Developer portal. The app should be configured to enable Sign in with Twitter. See twauth-web.py for more details, but you can either:
   1. add these values to a config.cfg file (local); or
   2. set environment variables TWAUTH_APP_CONSUMER_KEY and TWAUTH_APP_CONSUMER_SECRET (cloud or local)
2. Setup a pipenv environment, and install dependencies:
   1. pipenv install
   2. pipenv shell
3. Start the app:
   1. python3 ./twauth-web.py; or
   2. gunicorn twauth-web:app

Note: the app must have an externally-accessible URL (i.e do not attempt to connect via localhost). You can run a tunnel e.g. ngrok for local use, or deploy to a cloud environment such as Heroku (a Procfile is included).

Open a browser window on your demo app's external URL. Don't click the buttons yet!

Finally, revisit the dev portal, and add your app's callback URL (http[s]://your-deployed-url/callback) to the callback URL whitelist setting, before attempting to click through the demo pages.
