X Integration: PKCE
Today I'll try to set up the X integration.
I opened the X Developer portal and set up the User Authentication Settings for my app.
Now I need to add a few endpoints and hook it up to the frontend. I will need more than I anticipated:
- GET /integrations
- returns all user's integrations' status
- GET /integrations/x/auth-url
- sets up PKCE and returns an auth url that contains all required query parameters
- POST /integrations/x/connect
- takes the authentication code and exchanges it for an access token using the X api
It ended up being much more complicated, as I was required to implement PKCE. I learned a lot about XSRF, XSS, and cookies. Didn't manage to finish though. Hopefully I'll get some time tommorrow. I'm pretty excited to finish.
