Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

  1. Create a backend with drizzleadapter
  2. Create a frontend and use react client
  3. I will log in to X using the Twitter provider

Actually, I don't know why this error occurred because it occurred 1 week after I created the project.

My Config:

auth.ts

import { betterAuth } from "better-auth";
import { drizzleAdapter } from "better-auth/adapters/drizzle";

if (!process.env.BETTER_AUTH_SECRET || !process.env.BETTER_AUTH_URL) {
  throw new Error("BETTER_AUTH_SECRET and BETTER_AUTH_URL environment variables must be set.");
}

export const auth = betterAuth({

have you cross checked your X client credentials on the portal that they are not revoked or something

This might be because of the X client credentials as @Kinfe123 mentioned. I had the same problem with Google oauth this time around, and the realization was that the scopes of the auth i had set up weren't permissible enough in the beginning, so i ended up getting this. Getting that fixed in google cloud console resolved the issue. You can try checking the credentials very well or just creating new ones and retrying to see if they'd work out.

I noticed this too, when better-auth redirects the application to log in to X, some errors like the following occur on the X login page.

@Kinfe123 better-auth, either by itself or together with next.js, causes the "too many requests" error.

I am facing the exact issue all of a sudden on Twitter. It was working before but now it started to give exact same error. My implementation is not using better-auth client but I am making HTTP API call to /sign-in/social with required body:

{ "provider": "twitter", "callbackURL": "/somecallback" }

I checked the source code and its due to the error on getting user basic info after acquiring the token + refreshToken. I tried it manually on Postman as well and Twitter was throwing me 401 unauthorized even with a valid Bearer token being passed.

8242ebde82/packages/better-auth/src/api/routes/callback.ts (L113)

I feel like its Twitter problem, not better-auth but super frustrating!

After several hours of digging, I think I found the reason.

Image

The app you have created on Twitter Developers portal is likely in 'Free' tier and it has super restricting rate-limit. @offwork the "Too many requests" is what I see when I make HTTP GET call on below API as well with the acquired access token:

https://api.x.com/2/users/me

Frustrating part is that Twitter API doesn't say anything but just returns this:

{
"title": "Too Many Requests",
"detail": "Too Many Requests",
"type": "about:blank",
"status": 429
}

This causes Better-Auth to acquire token, but not make any further calls to get user info. I don't understand why would Twitter make such bizarre API limit as well as not make API response any explanatory.

It happens when you are directed to log in to X from the app.
