Twitter-api – Twitter API v2: 403 Forbidden – "Use keys from Twitter Developer App attached to a Project"

I’ve been using Laravel/Socialite to interact with the Twitter API v2 for a while, and everything was working fine until last week. I’m encountering a "403 Forbidden" error with the message:

 Client error: `GET https://api.twitter.com/2/users/me?user.fields=profile_image_url` resulted in a `403 Forbidden` {"client_id":"xxxxxxx","detail":"When authenticating requests to the Twitter API v2 endpoints, you must use keys and tokens from a Twitter developer App that is attached to a Project"}

I’m on a free plan, and I’ve confirmed that my Twitter Developer App is associated with a Project. Here are some details about my setup:

Laravel/framework: "^9.19",
Laravel/Socialite version: "^5.5"
Twitter Developer App details: [App Permissions: ‘users.read’, ‘tweet.read’] Code snippet where the error occurs:

$user = Socialite::driver('twitter-oauth-2')->user();

I’m confused about why this issue suddenly appeared and how to resolve it. Any guidance or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

    Not sure about the exact cause.

    The user() calls https://api.twitter.com/2/users/me (https://github.com/laravel/socialite/blob/5.x/src/Two/TwitterProvider.php#L57-L65) which is supported by the free plan(https://developer.twitter.com/en/portal/products/free).

    I tried that api with postman and can confirm that I can get back the user successfully.

    I scratched my head for a while about this – even forked repos.

    However I think this is about how the App is set-up in the X/Twitter developer portal.

    I think they must have updated the developer portal.

    You now need to add a Project (you get 1 on the free tier) – when creating the Project you can add the App. Quite sure this has solved the error for my install.
