Due to Twitter's recent API changes, Measure Studio subscribers must also subscribe to Twitter's Basic API plan in order for our system to collect your tweet data. You can learn more about Twitter's API plans and pricing here. At the time of this writing, the Basic API is priced at $100 per month.
SUBSCRIBING TO TWITTER BASIC
To subscribe, navigate to the Twitter Developer portal here, hit "Subscribe now" under the Basic plan, and follow the steps. Under the "Describe all of your use cases of Twitter’s data and API" field, feel free to copy and paste our standard text:
In particular, our focus will be on obtaining detailed performance metrics for our Twitter posts in order to effectively optimize our content strategy on this platform.

ADDING YOUR TWITTER ACCOUNTS
If you are a new customer adding Twitter accounts for the first time:
After your Twitter app has been connected, you can add your Twitter accounts in the Manage Social Accounts page, by clicking the menu on the top-right side of your screen.
If you are a legacy customer, with existing Twitter accounts connected to Measure Studio:
Since you have newly set up your own app, you will need to re-authorize each of your Twitter accounts. To do that, go to the Manage Social Accounts page, click into a given Twitter account, and click the "Re-auth account" button.
IF YOU GET STUCK ON LOGIN WITH TWITTER AND NOTHING HAPPENS
Log out of Twitter, and clear your browsing data (cookies, cache, etc) and try connecting accounts again.
Alternatively, try connecting with your browser set to Incognito or Private mode, and try connecting accounts again.
This should resolve the issue.
