n8n Twitter Dynamic Auth

0.1.0 verified Sat Apr 25 auth: no javascript

Custom n8n node that adds dynamic Twitter authentication credentials, allowing requests on behalf of multiple users. Version 0.1.0, initial release. Unlike the built-in Twitter node which uses a single static account, this node exposes Consumer Key, Consumer Secret, Access Token, and Access Secret fields that can be dynamically set per workflow execution. Useful for multi-tenant Twitter integrations where each user provides their own tokens.

import { TwitterDynamicAuth, TwitterDynamicAuthNode } from 'n8n-nodes-twitter-dynamic-auth';

// Register in n8n custom nodes folder
// The node provides 4 credential fields
const credentials = {
  consumerKey: process.env.TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY || '',
  consumerSecret: process.env.TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET || '',
  accessToken: process.env.TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN || '',
  accessSecret: process.env.TWITTER_ACCESS_SECRET || '',
};

const node = new TwitterDynamicAuthNode();
node.execute({ credentials });
