How to setup a custom account for Twitter?

There is an option to use X (ex Twitter) posting through our app, however, this method cannot guarantee successful sharing because of the X network limits.
Our App has a hard limit of 1667 posts per 24 hours that cannot be exceeded (combined by all users using this method).
Each user that logs in through our App has their own limit which is 100 posts per 24 hours, however, this limit is not a guarantee. If there are other 50 users, for example, that already shared 35 posts during this 24-hour limit, it means the limit is already exceeded and the 100 posts user limit no longer plays a role.

Recommendation: By following the steps below, you can bypass these limitations and configure your own API keys.

This article provides instructions on how to generate your own Twitter application using a custom key.
