Client User Context API v2

[camiaei]

Hi!👋 I am trying to follow this example:
https://github.com/PLhery/node-twitter-api-v2/blob/master/doc/examples.md#Streamtweetsinrealtime

I only have access to API v2, so I replaced method v1 with v2, but I get this error:

"Authenticating with OAuth 2.0 Application-Only is forbidden for this endpoint. Supported authentication types are [OAuth 1.0a User Context, OAuth 2.0 User Context]."

I have tried instantiating the client in different ways, but it doesn't work😓
I know I am doing something wrong, I would appreciate if someone could help me.

Hi 👋 !
As specified in twitter documentation, stream endpoint only supports v2 app-only authentication.

On the other side, reply to a tweet requires a client with user-context authentication... 😄

So, you need to have two different clients:
One client with a bearer token (your first tentative) to use tweet stream, and the other client (your second one), with user-context (in your case, OAuth 1.0a access tokens) to reply to tweet !

and the other client (your second one), with user-context (in your case, OAuth 1.0a access tokens) to reply to tweet !

Can I do this part with OAuth 2.0 User Context?
(I only have access to the v2 API endpoints 😓)

Of course! You will need to generate a Bearer token with your client ID/client secret.

It worked. I activated that☝ and instantiated the two clients.

Q: If I'm using client.v2.reply(), that means I'm hitting the new endpoints right? (I'm very confused between the API version and the OAuth version😵)

Also, I found this, which I had also been trying to do❤
