🐦 X (Twitter) Unofficial Login with Cookie

In some cases, X (Twitter) accounts may face restrictions when using the official API. To work around this, you can connect your account using Login with Cookie.

This method requires you to extract tokens from your browser cookies while logged into X.


🔑 Required Information

  1. CSRF Token (ct0)

    • A security token used by X to validate requests.

  2. Auth Token (auth_token)

    • The main session token representing your logged-in account.

  3. Screen Name

    • Your X username (without @).

    • Example: https://x.com/johndoe → screen name is johndoe.


📋 How to Get Tokens

✅ Recommended Safe Method

  • Always use Incognito/Private Mode when logging in to extract cookies.

  • After copying your tokens and adding them into the system, close the incognito window to clear all cookies automatically.

Step-by-Step

  1. Open an Incognito/Private Mode browser window → log in to your X account.

  2. Open Developer Tools (F12) → go to the Application/Storage tab.

  3. Navigate to Cookies → https://x.com.

  4. Copy:

    • ct0 → paste into CSRF Token.

    • auth_token → paste into Auth Token.

  5. Enter your screen name (your X username).

  6. Click Submit to connect.

  7. Close the incognito window to clear cookies from your device.


⚠️ Important Notes

  • Cookies may expire if you log out or if X resets your session → you’ll need to re-enter them.

  • Avoid using your regular browser session (to protect your personal cookies).

  • This method is unofficial and may stop working if X updates its security measures.
