Twitter Integration

Yes, Twitter API integration is available in all pricing plans, along with 45+ more integrations.

No, you don’t need Looker Studio (Google Data Studio) or any other tool to visualize your Twitter data. Whatagraph is an all-in-one marketing data platform to connect, organize, visualize, and share all your data. This makes Whatagraph a better choice than other data platforms that provide only the functionality to connect Twitter sources, so users need to use a separate tool to visualize their data insights.

Whatagraph has a pre-built Twitter connector, so you don’t have to purchase and configure third-party data connectors. However, due to changes in Twitter API’s functionality, you’ll need to set up a Twitter developer account and generate the API key.

 To set up a Twitter developer account:

1. Visit Twitter developer platform

2. Log in using your Twitter account

3. Once logged in, click on the Developer portal located in the top right corner of your screen.

4. Select the Basic subscription option and click on the Subscribe to Basic button.

5. You will be prompted to describe all of your use cases for Twitter's data and API. Provide the following explanation: "Twitter API access will be utilized to retrieve marketing and analytics data from connected Twitter profiles using the Whatagraph platform to generate marketing reports. This automation aims to streamline manual processes. The acquired data will be used for marketing purposes and to analyze tweet performance."

6. Ensure that you agree to the terms and conditions by checking the appropriate boxes.

7. Proceed to add your payment information. Click on the "Add card & Subscribe" button.

To generate the Consumer and Secret keys to Whatagraph

1. Go to your Twitter developer dashboard.

2. Now go to your project and project app and click on the "Key" option, which will display your keys and tokens.

3. In the "Consumer keys" section, click on "Regenerate" to obtain new keys. Copy the keys for later use.

Treat the API key and secret as login credentials. Store them securely for future use. If lost, you'll have to regenerate them and re-verify the connection with new keys.

4. You will also need to add the callback URL for the integration to work. While still in the project app, go to the Settings tab, scroll down to the User authentication settings and click Set up (or Edit).

5. Scroll down to the App info section to add the Callback URL / Redirect URL as follows: 

https://live.whatagraph.com/add-integration/twitter

Then make sure that you have selected Web App, Automated App or Bot in the Type of App section.
​

6. Copy the keys you have saved and add them to your Twitter integration in Whatagraph's source manager.

7. Your account should be verified successfully.

 You have successfully created a connection to your Twitter API. Create a custom report or dashboard and add your Twitter account as a source.

When you connect Twitter data to Whatagraph, you can organize datasets to get more granular insights by device, campaign ID, date, etc. You can visualize data in various widgets and share the insights via automated email attachments or live links for near real-time access.
