Connect to Twitter API using SAP Cloud Integration Suite

[RaghuVamseedhar]

This blog is about my experience in connecting to Twitter API using SAP Cloud Integration Suite. I was able to consume Twitter API using Postman. Then consume Twitter API using SAP Cloud Integration (CI – CPI). And finally consume Twitter API using Open Connectors.



Twitter developer account is used for managing the Twitter API access. To get Twitter developer account, fill online form by clicking sign up at developer.twitter.com.

Get Postman Twitter API collection from GitHub https://github.com/twitterdev/postman-twitter-api.

In Postman open your workspace and import the above downloaded collection.



Let us now post a tweet from Postman.



Tweets can be seen on the Twitter website.



We have finished the first task of consuming Twitter API using Postman. Let’s move to the next task of consuming Twitter API using SAP Cloud Integration (CI – CPI).

Create a simple Integration Flow using Twitter receiver channel.





Now send a message to SAP Cloud Integration from Postman.



Tweets can be seen on the Twitter website.



We have finished the second task of consuming Twitter API using Postman. Let’s move to the final task of consuming Twitter API using Open Connector.

In Open Connector create a Twitter connection by giving OAuth authorization.



Open Twitter connector and run a test.





Using above User, Organization and Element create a credential in SAP Cloud Integration.

Create a simple Integration Flow using Open Connectors.



Now send a message to SAP Cloud Integration from Postman.



This finishes the final task of consuming Twitter API using Open Connectors.

With the help of open connector, we can connect to Twitter API in harmonized way, there is no need to create an app and generate access keys. But ‘Create a Tweet’ is not available in the open connector.
