Twitter Identity OAuth Integration
Let users sign in to your application with their Twitter account.
Sign-in runs through your own Twitter OAuth app. Pathfix handles the authorization flow and the tokens it returns, and your application decides what happens once a user is signed in.
How Pathfix helps
- 01
OAuth authorization
Pathfix runs the authorization flow with your Twitter Identity OAuth app, so users approve access on Twitter’s own consent screen.
- 02
Token management
Each user’s access and refresh tokens are stored by Pathfix rather than in your application.
- 03
Token refresh
Where Twitter Identity issues refresh tokens, Pathfix refreshes them as they expire, so connections keep working after the first authorization.
- 04
Authenticated API passthrough
Your application sends Twitter Identity API requests through Pathfix, which adds the connected user’s credentials before passing them on to Twitter Identity.
You own the Twitter Identity OAuth application and its credentials, and your code implements the API logic.
