Twitter Plugin for Python SDK for GAME by Virtuals

Twitter Plugin for GAME SDK

The Twitter Plugin provides a lightweight interface for integrating Twitter (X) functionality into your GAME SDK agents. Built on top of virtuals_tweepy by the Virtuals team — a maintained fork of Tweepy) — this plugin lets you easily post tweets, fetch data, and execute workflows through agent logic.

Use it standalone or compose multiple Twitter actions as part of a larger agent job.

Installation

You can install the plugin using either poetry or pip:

# Using Poetry (from the plugin directory)
poetry install

or

# Using pip (recommended for integration projects)
pip install twitter_plugin_gamesdk

Authentication Methods

We support two primary ways to authenticate:

1. GAME's Sponsored X Enterprise Access Token (Recommended)

Virtuals sponsors the community with a Twitter Enterprise API access plan, using OAuth 2.0 with PKCE. This provides:

• Higher rate limits: 35 calls / 5 minutes
• Smoother onboarding
• Free usage via your GAME_API_KEY

a. Get Your Access Token

Run the following command to authenticate using your GAME_API_KEY:

poetry run twitter-plugin-gamesdk auth -k <GAME_API_KEY>

This will prompt:

Waiting for authentication...

Visit the following URL to authenticate:
https://x.com/i/oauth2/authorize?...

Authenticated! Here's your access token:
apx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

b. Store Your Access Token

We recommend storing environment variables in a .env file:

# .env

GAME_TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN=apx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Then, use load_dotenv() to load them:

import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from twitter_plugin_gamesdk.twitter_plugin import TwitterPlugin

load_dotenv()

options = {
    "credentials": {
        "game_twitter_access_token": os.environ.get("GAME_TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN")
    }
}

twitter_plugin = TwitterPlugin(options)
client = twitter_plugin.twitter_client

client.create_tweet(text="Tweeting with GAME Access Token!")

---

2. Use Your Own Twitter Developer Credentials

Use this option if you need access to Twitter endpoints requiring a different auth level (e.g., OAuth 1.0a User Context or OAuth 2.0 App Only).

See X API Auth Mapping to determine which auth level is required for specific endpoints.

a. Get Your Developer Credentials

1. Sign in to the Twitter Developer Portal.
2. Create a project and app.
3. Generate the following keys and store them in your .env file:

# .env

TWITTER_API_KEY=...
TWITTER_API_SECRET_KEY=...
TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN=...
TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=...

b. Initialize the Plugin

import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from twitter_plugin_gamesdk.twitter_plugin import TwitterPlugin

load_dotenv()

options = {
    "credentials": {
        "api_key": os.environ.get("TWITTER_API_KEY"),
        "api_key_secret": os.environ.get("TWITTER_API_SECRET_KEY"),
        "access_token": os.environ.get("TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN"),
        "access_token_secret": os.environ.get("TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET"),
    }
}

twitter_plugin = TwitterPlugin(options)
client = twitter_plugin.twitter_client

client.create_tweet(text="Tweeting with personal developer credentials!")
