X Setup — API tokens or browser session

Same two-path model as Instagram: API tokens for production, browser session for quick start.

Path A — X API v1.1 (OAuth 1.0a)

Step 1 — Developer account

1. Sign up at developer.x.com
2. Create a Project → inside it, create an App
3. App Permissions — select Read and Write (or Read+Write+DM if you want DMs)

Step 2 — Generate keys

1. App → Keys & Tokens
2. Under Consumer Keys: copy API Key and API Secret
3. Under Authentication Tokens: generate and copy Access Token and Access Token Secret for your account

Step 3 — Connect in Limaze

1. Integrations → X card → Connect via API
2. Paste all 4 values: App Key, App Secret, Access Token, Access Secret
3. Limaze validates by fetching your account handle

Path B — Browser session

Setup

1. Integrations → X card → Connect via browser session
2. Log in to X in the opened window
3. Confirm your account handle in Limaze

Browser sessions work for basic posting but don't expose full metrics API.

Limits to know

• X free tier API allows 1500 tweets/month — enough for most single-account studios
• Thread length: standard 280 chars per tweet, unlimited tweets per thread (but practically <10)
• Media: images, GIFs, short video (up to 140s)

Tools lims get

• x_post — single tweet
• x_thread — multi-tweet thread
• x_post_metrics — impressions, likes, replies, quotes, bookmarks per tweet

Troubleshooting

• "Read-only application" — your App's permissions are Read-only. Change to Read+Write in developer portal, regenerate Access Token, paste new one into Limaze
• Rate limited — X free tier is aggressive. Drop posting cadence below 1/hour to stay safe
