Twitter Manage Lists

Blocks for creating, updating, and deleting Twitter/X lists.

Twitter Create List

What it is

How it works

This block uses the Twitter API v2 via Tweepy to create a new Twitter List under your account. You can specify the list name, description, and whether it should be public or private.

The block authenticates using OAuth 2.0 with list write permissions and sends a POST request to create the list. Returns the new list's ID and URL upon successful creation.

description	Description of the List	str	No
private	Whether the List should be private	bool	No

Twitter Delete List

What it is

This block deletes a specified Twitter List owned by the authenticated user.

How it works

The block authenticates using OAuth 2.0 with list write permissions and sends a DELETE request. Only lists you own can be deleted. Returns a success indicator confirming the deletion.

What it is

How it works

This block uses the Twitter API v2 via Tweepy to update the metadata of a Twitter List you own. You can modify the list name and description without affecting the list's members.

The block authenticates using OAuth 2.0 with list write permissions and sends a PUT request with the updated fields. Returns a success indicator confirming the changes were applied.
