Twitter OAuth Example

Twitter OAuth example using Elixir and Phoenix with authenticated requests

Demo

Background

There are a few good examples showing how to use OAuth authentication in Phoenix and Elixir, but I wanted a solution which used a small amount of dependencies, and had the ability to make authenticated requests on behalf of a user.

Setup

  • Create a new twitter app https://apps.twitter.com/
  • Make sure to set a Privacy URL and Terms Of Service URL
  • Make sure you set the Callback URL to http://localhost:4000
  • After creating, modify app's settings
    • Update the app's settings with "Read and Write" for the Access Type
  • Copy dev.secret.exs.example to dev.secret.exs and fill your app's in consumer key and secret

Start the app:

  • Install dependencies with mix deps.get
  • Install Node.js dependencies with npm install
  • Start Phoenix endpoint with mix phoenix.server

Now you can visit localhost:4000 from your browser.
