Twitter / X

Post release announcements to Twitter/X

Config

announce:
  twitter:
    enabled: true
    message_template: "{{ .ProjectName }} {{ .Tag }} is out! Check it out at {{ .ReleaseURL }}"

Field	Type	Description
`enabled`	bool	Enable Twitter/X announcements
`message_template`	string	Tweet text (templates supported). Default: `{{ .ProjectName }} {{ .Tag }} is out! Check it out at {{ .ReleaseURL }}`

Environment variables

All four OAuth 1.0a tokens are required.

Variable	Required	Description
`TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY`	Yes	API key (consumer key) for your Twitter app
`TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET`	Yes	API key secret (consumer secret) for your Twitter app
`TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN`	Yes	Access token for the posting account
`TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET`	Yes	Access token secret for the posting account

Authentication

Anodizer uses OAuth 1.0a with HMAC-SHA1 signing to authenticate with the Twitter API v2 (POST https://api.x.com/2/tweets). Each request gets a fresh nonce and timestamp, so tokens can be long-lived without rotation.

To obtain tokens:

Create a project and app at https://developer.x.com/en/portal/dashboard.
Set the app permissions to Read and Write.
Under Keys and Tokens, generate an access token and secret for your account (not just the app-level keys).
Copy all four values into the corresponding environment variables.

Tweet length

Twitter enforces a 280-character limit on tweets. If message_template renders to more than 280 characters the API will return an error. Keep templates concise or use a short release URL.

Example

announce:
  twitter:
    enabled: true
    message_template: "{{ .ProjectName }} {{ .Tag }} released — {{ .ReleaseURL }}"

TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY=your_api_key
TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET=your_api_key_secret
TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_access_token
TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=your_access_token_secret
