# Twist credentials

You can use these credentials to authenticate the following nodes:

* [Twist](/integrations/builtin/app-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.twist.md)

## Prerequisites <a href="#prerequisites" id="prerequisites"></a>

* Create a [Twist](https://twist.com/) account.
* [Create a general integration](https://twist.com/app_console/create_app) and configure a valid OAuth Redirect URL. Refer to [Using OAuth2](#using-oauth2) for more information.

## Supported authentication methods <a href="#supported-authentication-methods" id="supported-authentication-methods"></a>

* OAuth2

## Related resources <a href="#related-resources" id="related-resources"></a>

Refer to [Twist's API documentation](https://developer.twist.com/v3/#authorization) for more information about authenticating with the service.

## Using OAuth2 <a href="#using-oauth2" id="using-oauth2"></a>

To configure this credential, you'll need:

* A **Client ID**: Generated once you create a general integration.
* A **Client Secret**: Generated once you create a general integration.

To generate your Client ID and Client Secret, [create a general integration](https://twist.com/app_console/create_app).

Use these settings for your integration's **OAuth Authentication**:

* Copy the **OAuth Redirect URL** from n8n and enter it as the **OAuth 2 redirect URL** in Twist.<br>

  <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p><strong>OAuth Redirect URL for self-hosted n8n</strong></p><p>Twist doesn't accept a <code>localhost</code> Redirect URL. The Redirect URL should be a URL in your domain, for example: <code>https://mytemplatemaker.example.com/gr_callback</code>. If your n8n <strong>OAuth Redirect URL</strong> contains localhost, refer below to <a href="#local-environment-redirect-url">Local environment redirect URL</a> for generating a URL that Twist will allow.</p></div>
* Select **Update OAuth settings** to save those changes.
* Copy the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** from Twist and enter them in the appropriate fields in n8n.

### Local environment redirect URL <a href="#local-environment-redirect-url" id="local-environment-redirect-url"></a>

Twist doesn't accept a localhost callback URL. These steps should allow you to configure the OAuth credentials for the local environment:

1. Use [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/) to expose the local server running on port `5678` to the internet. In your terminal, run the following command:

```sh
ngrok http 5678
```

2. Run the following command in a new terminal. Replace `<YOUR-NGROK-URL>` with the URL that you get from the previous step.

```sh
export WEBHOOK_URL=<YOUR-NGROK-URL>
```

3. Use the generated URL as your **OAuth 2 redirect URL** in Twist.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/credentials/twist.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
