I'm trying to Implement Twitter login in my NodeJS app.
As per the documentation from Twitter, I need to pass the below parameters to this url via POST request. URL:
https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token
PARAMETERS:
oauth_nonce=, oauth_signature=, oauth_callback="http%3A%2F%2Fmyapp.com%3A3005%2Ftwitter%2Fprocess_callback", oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1", oauth_timestamp="currentTimestamp", oauth_consumer_key=“myKEY”, oauth_version="1.0" I'm passing a random string for oauth_nonce parameter. I'm not clear on how to create a oauth_signature?
I keep getting 215 error whenever I make the POST request beacuse of incorrect oauth_nonce and oauth_signature values I guess.
How do I generate oauth_nonce and oauth_signature values while making the request in NodeJS.

Those parameters need to be passed in your authorization header:
OAuth oauth_nonce="K7ny27JTpKVsTgdyLdDfmQQWVLERj2zAK5BslRsqyw", oauth_callback="http%3A%2F%2Fmyapp.com%3A3005%2Ftwitter%2Fprocess_callback", oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1", oauth_timestamp="1300228849", oauth_consumer_key="OqEqJeafRSF11jBMStrZz", oauth_signature="Pc%2BMLdv028fxCErFyi8KXFM%2BddU%3D", oauth_version="1.0" But before that, you need to get a signature, which will then give you all of the parameters above. Check the documentation here.
A recommendation would be to use a 3rd party library like passport, which heavily simplifies this process if needed.

Twitter makes a whole lot of sense if used correctly. I have seen some tutorials that has been quite useful to those around me, that I feel maybe you might want to check Node Authentication: Twitter and Implementing Sign in with Twitter for Node.js
If you're using reactjs, this (npm i react-twitter-auth) might be useful to you too

can't comment, that's why answering here. the docu sais, oauth_nonce:
is a unique token your application should generate for each unique request
it is like the salt of the encryption. you can find oauth_signature under the same link. how to generate it is described here.
