    • OAuth 2.0 Bearer Token

    OAuth 2.0 Bearer Token is the application-only authentication method for authenticating with the Twitter API. As this method is specific to the application, it does not involve any users. This method is typically for developers that need read-only access to public information. 

    API calls using app-only authentication are rate limited per API method at the app level.

    To use this method, you'll need a bearer token, which you can generate by passing your consumer key and secret through the POST oauth2/token endpoint. If you'd like to revoke a bearer token, you can use the POST oauth2/invalidate_token endpoint.
