Why does Bubble's Twitter plugin return an API access error when trying to authenticate?

Bubble's built-in Twitter plugin isn't compatible with Twitter's current API access tiers. Use a community plugin or the API Connector to connect to Twitter's API v2 directly.

Written by Sofia Maconi

Bubble's built-in Twitter plugin was built for an earlier version of the Twitter API. Twitter has since moved to API v2 with updated access tiers, and the plugin isn't compatible with the free or basic developer plans. This causes an error when you try to set up OAuth through the plugin.

What you might notice

  • An error appears saying "you currently have access to a subset of Twitter API V2 endpoints and limited v1.1 endpoints" when attempting to authenticate

  • The OAuth flow through Bubble's Twitter plugin doesn't complete

Workaround

  • Browse the Plugin Marketplace for a community-built plugin that supports Twitter's API v2

  • Use the API Connector to set up a direct connection to Twitter's API, which gives you full control over how you integrate Twitter features into your app
