# X (Twitter)

TryPost supports posting to X (formerly Twitter) accounts.

## Connect your account

1. Go to **Accounts** in the TryPost dashboard
2. Click **Connect X**
3. Authorize TryPost on X

## Supported content types

| Type     | Description                         |
| -------- | ----------------------------------- |
| **Post** | Text with up to 4 images or 1 video |

## OAuth scopes

`tweet.read`, `tweet.write`, `users.read`, `media.write`, `offline.access`

`offline.access` is required so TryPost can refresh the access token in the background — without it, you'd have to reauthorize regularly.

## Self-hosting setup

<Accordion title="Configure X API credentials">
  1. Go to [X Developer Portal](https://developer.twitter.com/) and create a project/app
  2. Enable **OAuth 2.0** in your app settings
  3. On the User authentication settings page, enable the scopes listed above
  4. Set the redirect URL to `{APP_URL}/accounts/x/callback`
  5. Add to your `.env`:

  ```env theme={null}
  X_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
  X_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
  X_CLIENT_REDIRECT="${APP_URL}/accounts/x/callback"
  ```
