Unauthorized error using twitter API v2

Ask the Experts and Postman Tips

I am trying to fetch Tweets, Retweets, and replies posted by the authenticated user and the accounts they follow. So I went to Twitter API v2 workspace on Postman

I forked the collections and environments from the twitter workspace to my workspace and edited the environments using my keys and tokens. Saved the environments and also made sure its active in the top right.

Then I went back to collections and I tried a sample by going to User Lookup > User by ID and I put the ID and press Send it says “title”: “Unauthorized”, “type”: “about:blank”, “status”: 401, “detail”: “Unauthorized”

Can someone show me how would you access the twitter api v2 public workspace above and be able to use it?

Heres how my set up is, please let me know if I am missing something, I double checked my keys and tokens and even regenerated many times and still not working:

I am actually experiencing the same issue. Any solutions?

I having the same issue

Post man example uses these names

token_secret
consumer_secret
consumer_key
bearer_token
access_token

But when I generate the keys from twitter I get tokens for these names

API Key
API Key Secret
Bearer Token
Access Token
Access Token Secret

So I assume

API Key = consumer_key
API Key Secret = ? consumer_secret or token_secret
Bearer Token = bearer_token
Access Token = access_token
Access Token Secret = ? token_secret or consumer_secret

either way I get

{
“title”: “Unauthorized”,
“type”: “about:blank”,
“status”: 401,
“detail”: “Unauthorized”
}

You need to change “Auth type” in “Authorization” tab to “Bearer token” and fill the input with {{bearer_token}} which gets the bearer_token from the variables
