Free Twitter Post Web Hook – How to Create One?

[wpseo_breadcrumb]

Today’s Lesson: Automatically Tweet your Radio Tracks in Twitter.

To allow Twitter to tweet your current songs, you must have the following:

Twitter developer account
Twitter API keys and tokens
Azuracast subscription

Step one: Create a web hook in Azuracast

In the Web Hooks tab (left sidebar), click the (+) button, and then choose Twitter post. Copy the exact URL and we will paste it later to your Twitter app in the Callback URLs field.

Create a web hook

Choose Twitter post

Copy the URL and paste it later in Twitter app that we will going to make

Step two: Create a Twitter Developer account

If you don’t have a Twitter developer account, please create one (if you have, you can skip this and move to step 3). When applying for a developer account, I would suggest to choose the personal option. After that, just fill in all the required details properly, to avoid Twitter from disapproving your application.

Step three: Generate APIs by creating a Twitter app

Click the Create an app button to get started in creating your first app! Answer the required questions from Twitter. Do not tick “Enable Sign in with Twitter”.

In the Callback URLs field, make sure to copy and paste the exact URL from your AzuraCast Twitter creation tab. If you have a website, you can add the URL and also add your TOS and privacy policy link.

Click save.

Create Twitter app

Paste the URL that was copied earlier

Generate API tokens and copy it to AzuraCast

Add the APIs in the newly created web hook

Step Four: Test the web hook

Finally, after adding the APIs, you can select what web hook trigger you want Twitter to post automatically. After that click save and test it.

* Update (May 2019). The app is now capable of limiting tweets by time and by events. For more details, please check the web hook of your station.
