Twitter API is not configured

Error message

Twitter API is not configured

What it means

ConfigNotFoundError from the Twitter API entrypoint's fallback stub: when neither the developer API, web API, nor third-party API is enabled, the `api` object stays as the placeholder whose `init()` throws. It is the top-level signal that no Twitter backend is configured.

Solutions

1. Configure at least one Twitter backend: developer API (consumer key/secret), web API (auth token), or third-party API base URL.
2. Restart RSSHub after setting the env vars so index.ts re-evaluates the enable flags.
3. If using a docker compose setup, confirm the env vars are passed into the container.

const enabled = config.twitter.consumerKey && config.twitter.consumerSecret || config.twitter.authToken || config.twitter.thirdPartyApi;
if (!enabled) throw new ConfigNotFoundError('No Twitter backend configured — set developer keys, an auth token, or a third-party API');

const hasTwitterBackend = (c: { consumerKey?: string; consumerSecret?: string; authToken?: string; thirdPartyApi?: string }): boolean => Boolean((c.consumerKey && c.consumerSecret) || c.authToken || c.thirdPartyApi);

When it happens

Trigger: None of `config.twitter.consumerKey`+`consumerSecret`, `config.twitter.authToken`, or `config.twitter.thirdPartyApi` is set, so the conditional upgrades in api/index.ts never replace the stub; calling `init()` (or any getter that triggers init) throws on line 27-28.

Common situations: Fresh RSSHub install with no Twitter env vars; all previously-set tokens were removed; the env var names changed between versions.
