How To Connect X To YACSS
X (formerly Twitter) uses its own Developer Console to manage API access. By creating an X Developer app and configuring the right permissions, you can connect your X account to YACSS and publish posts directly from your workflows.
Open Cloud Connectivity
In YACSS, navigate to Cloud Connectivity from the sidebar. Click Connect on the X card to begin the setup process.
Prepare Your Inputs
You will need three things from the X Developer Console:
- Consumer API Key — Found in your X Developer app OAuth 1.0 keys
- Consumer Secret Key — Found in your X Developer app OAuth 1.0 keys
- Account Type — Whether your posting account is Free or Premium
Create Your Developer Account
Go to the X Developer onboarding page and sign in or sign up. In the use case description field, enter the following text and check all agreement boxes, then click Submit.
console.x.com/onboardingUse this description: "We use this API in YACSS to enable content posting directly from our pages. It allows our system to send posts through the API automatically. This is how we publish content to connected platforms from within YACSS."
Go to Apps & Create App
Once your developer account is created, go to the Apps section in the sidebar of the Developer Console and click Create App.
Name Your App & Create
Enter an Application Name, leave the environment as Development, and click Create New Client Application.
Set Up User Authentication
Once the app is created, click Set up under User authentication settings.
Set App Permissions
Under App permissions, select Read and write. Under Type of App, select Web App, Automated App or Bot.
Add Callback URL & Save
In the App info section, add the following URL as the Callback URI / Redirect URL, then click Save Changes.
https://app.yacss.site/user/twitter-callback.php
Regenerate OAuth 1.0 Keys
Go back to your app's API keys panel and click Regenerate next to the Consumer Key under OAuth 1.0 Keys.
Copy Consumer Key & Secret
X will display your new Consumer Key and Consumer Key Secret. Copy both values — the secret is only shown once so save it securely before closing.
Paste Into YACSS & Save
Return to YACSS. Paste your Consumer API Key and Consumer Secret Key into the X Account fields. Select your Account Type (Free or Premium) and click Save. You will be redirected to X for authorization.
Authorize on X
X will show an authorization screen listing what the app will be able to do. Click Authorize app to grant YACSS access — your X connection will then be active.
Buy API Credits
Go to the Dashboard in the X Developer Console and click Buy Credits. Add a credit balance to your account to enable posting via the API.
