Twitter (X) Notifications

  • Source: https://x.com/
  • Attachment Support: Yes
  • Icon Support: No
  • Message Format: Text
  • Message Limit: 10000 Characters per message if a private DM otherwise public posts are limited to 280 character (up to 25000 characters for public posts if you subscribe to X Premium).

Account Setup

You need to register to X developer account at developer.x.com.

X Direct Messages are slightly more complicated then some of the other notification services, so here is quick breakdown of what you need to know and do in order to send Notifications through it using this tool:

If there are Project and App

When you registered to X developer account, you may have already created a default project and app. You can use this app and it's through an X App we will be able to send our DMs.

  1. First off, you'll need to regenerate the API Keys. This is done by accessing the app name under Projects & Apps (on left menu), then under the Consumer Keys from the "Keys and tokens" Tab. Once generated, copy it to a safe place. This is Consumer Keys.
    X Generate Tokens

  2. Next, grant the appropriate access permissions so that you can post or send DMs. After clicking on the app name under Projects & Apps (on left menu), click on Set up under the User authentication settings section.
    X User authentication set up
    On the User authentication settings page, set the following

    • App permissions
      Select Read and write if you want to post only. If you want to send DMs, select Read and write and Direct message.
    • Type of App
      Select Web App, Automated App or Bot
    • App info
      Enter any URL for Callback URI / Redirect URL and Website URL. If you are using Apprise to send posts or DMs, it doesn't matter what you enter.

    Once you entered them all, click Save.

  3. Lastly, you'll need to regenerate the Access Tokens. This is done under the Authentication Tokens from the "Keys and tokens" Tab. Once generated, copy it to a safe place.
    X Generate Tokens

If there is no Project and App

  1. First off, you need to create a project and an X App (not Standalone apps) from developer.x.com. It's through an X App we will be able to send our DMs.
    X Create Project
    X asks you to justify why you need it as long as you specify the purpose of your app in detail.

  2. Once you created the app, you'll see the API Tokens on the screen, so copy it to a safe place. This is Consumer Keys.
    X App API Key

  3. Next, grant the appropriate access permissions so that you can post or send DMs. After clicking on the app name under Projects & Apps (on left menu), click on Set up under the User authentication settings section.
    X User authentication set up
    On the User authentication settings page, set the following

    • App permissions
      Select Read and write if you want to post only. If you want to send DMs, select Read and write and Direct message.
    • Type of App
      Select Web App, Automated App or Bot
    • App info
      Enter any URL for Callback URI / Redirect URL and Website URL. If you are using Apprise to send posts or DMs, it doesn't matter what you enter.

    Once you entered them all, click Save.

  4. Lastly, you'll need to generate the Access Tokens. This is done under the Authentication Tokens from the "Keys and tokens" Tab. Once generated, copy it to a safe place.
    X Generate Tokens

You should now have the following 4 tokens ready to use.

  • A Consumer Key (An API Key)
  • A Consumer Secret (An API Secret)
  • An Access Token
  • An Access Token Secret

From here you're ready to go. You can post public posts or simply create DMs through the use of the mode= variable. By default Direct Messaging (DM) is used.

Syntax

Valid syntax is as follows:

  • twitter://{ConsumerKey}/{ConsumerSecret}/{AccessToken}/{AccessSecret}
  • twitter://{ScreenName}@{ConsumerKey}/{ConsumerSecret}/{AccessToken}/{AccessSecret}

Or

  • x://{ConsumerKey}/{ConsumerSecret}/{AccessToken}/{AccessSecret}
  • x://{ScreenName}@{ConsumerKey}/{ConsumerSecret}/{AccessToken}/{AccessSecret}

If you know the targets you wish to identify; they can be targeted by their X Screen Name:

  • twitter://{ConsumerKey}/{ConsumerSecret}/{AccessToken}/{AccessSecret}/{ScreenName}
  • twitter://{ConsumerKey}/{ConsumerSecret}/{AccessToken}/{AccessSecret}/{ScreenName1}/{ScreenName2}/{ScreenNameN}

Or

  • x://{ConsumerKey}/{ConsumerSecret}/{AccessToken}/{AccessSecret}/{ScreenName}
  • x://{ConsumerKey}/{ConsumerSecret}/{AccessToken}/{AccessSecret}/{ScreenName1}/{ScreenName2}/{ScreenNameN}

[!NOTE] If no ScreenName is specified, then by default the Direct Message is sent to your own account.

A Public post can be referenced like so:

  • twitter://{ConsumerKey}/{ConsumerSecret}/{AccessToken}/{AccessSecret}?mode=tweet
  • x://{ConsumerKey}/{ConsumerSecret}/{AccessToken}/{AccessSecret}?mode=tweet
