in ? Help! I'm a Noob

Hi All, I am new here. I was wondering if there are tutorials regarding an External API request that need OAuth 2.0 . I want to post a tweet from XANO but I find it confusing when it comes to authentication. I manage to make API calls only the ones that do not need authentication. Any help is welcome.

    Hey @KIMON GRIGORIADIS - OAuth is definitely confusing. Generally, you'll need to have your user complete the OAuth flow and receive a token from the service (i.e. Twitter). You'll need to pass that token to the External Twitter APIs that require authentication and likely use it in a header. (The most common method I see is Authorization: Bearer <token>) but you will want to verify what Twitter requires in their documentation
