Configures Hootsuite OAuth 2.0 for REST API with app registration, .env setup, and TypeScript code for authorization flow, token exchange, and refresh.
npx claudepluginhub jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills --plugin hootsuite-packThis skill is limited to using the following tools:
Configure Hootsuite REST API OAuth 2.0 authentication. Hootsuite uses OAuth 2.0 with Bearer tokens. You register an app in the Hootsuite Developer Portal, get client credentials, and exchange authorization codes for access tokens.
Sets up local dev for Hootsuite API integrations with TypeScript OAuth client, auto token refresh, project structure, and mocked tests.
Guides OAuth client setup for API integrations with step-by-step instructions, production-ready code, configurations, and best practices. Auto-activates on 'oauth client setup' phrases.
Installs HubSpot API client SDK and configures authentication via private app tokens or OAuth 2.0 for Node.js and Python projects.

| Error | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
401 Unauthorized | Invalid or expired token | Refresh token or re-authorize |
invalid_client | Wrong client ID/secret | Check app credentials |
invalid_grant | Authorization code expired | Codes expire in 30s; re-authorize |
redirect_uri_mismatch | URI doesn't match | Must exactly match app registration |
After auth, proceed to hootsuite-hello-world for your first API call.
