Debugging Grok Bot: Fixing Read-Only Permissions to Post on X
tristanbob · x · 2026-08-30
The author shares a debugging log of posting to X via Grok Bot using the X API. Since the native plugin is read-only, the author tried the direct API approach. Initial attempts failed despite Grok safely requesting keys. The root cause was identified as the app's default Read-Only permission in the X Developer Console. After switching to Read/Write permissions, regenerating keys, and pasting them into the chat (admittedly not secure), the post finally succeeded.
