Twitter API is not configured

Error message

Twitter API is not configured

What it means

ConfigNotFoundError from the Twitter developer-API client pool: after `init()` runs, if no valid consumer key/secret pair was pushed into `appClients`, getAppClient cannot return a client and throws. This is the runtime signal that the Twitter API v2 credentials are missing or all invalid.

Solutions

1. Apply for a Twitter developer project and create an app with v2 read access.
2. Set `TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY` and `TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET` (comma-separated for multiple clients) in RSSHub config and restart.
3. Ensure secrets are non-empty for each key index; mismatches cause silent skips.

init();
if (!appClients.length) { throw new ConfigNotFoundError('Set TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY/TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET with at least one valid pair'); }

const hasClientPool = (a: unknown): a is { length: number } => Array.isArray(a) && a.length > 0;

When it happens

Trigger: `config.twitter.consumerKey` or `config.twitter.consumerSecret` is unset, or every comma-separated pair has an empty secret (lines 37-39 `continue`), leaving appClients empty; getAppClient then throws on line 65-66.

Common situations: Self-hosted RSSHub without `TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY`/`TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET`; keys revoked by X; only an auth token (web API) was configured but a route forced the developer API.
