Twitter (X)

X (Twitter) OAuth2 with PKCE (S256) and basic token-endpoint auth. Registry key stays twitter. No id token.

Configure

from better_auth import BetterAuth
from better_auth.oauth.providers_ext import Twitter

auth = BetterAuth(
    secret=...,
    social_providers={
        "twitter": Twitter(client_id="…", client_secret="…"),
    },
)

Or name-keyed (no import):

auth = BetterAuth(
    secret=...,
    social_providers={
        "twitter": {"client_id": "…", "client_secret": "…"},
    },
)

Options

Field	Type	Default	Notes
client_id	str | list[str]	required
client_secret	str	required

All shared ProviderConfig options apply.

Notes

• Default scopes: users.read tweet.read offline.access users.email.
• Register {base_url}{base_path}/callback/twitter as the callback URI in the X developer portal.
• Token-endpoint client auth is basic (standard RFC 7617 base64 — X rejects base64url).
• The profile takes two calls to /2/users/me: one with user.fields=profile_image_url, one with user.fields=confirmed_email (X only returns email under that separate field query). A confirmed email sets email_verified=True; otherwise email falls back to the username, unverified.
