# Hootsuite Install & Auth

## Overview

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.

## Prerequisites

- Hootsuite account (Business plan or higher for API access)
- Registered app at https://developer.hootsuite.com
- Client ID and Client Secret from your app

## Instructions

### Step 1: Register Your App

1. Go to https://developer.hootsuite.com
2. Create a new app
3. Note your Client ID and Client Secret
4. Set redirect URI to `https://your-app.com/callback`

### Step 2: Configure Environment

```bash
# .env (NEVER commit)
HOOTSUITE_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
HOOTSUITE_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
HOOTSUITE_REDIRECT_URI=https://your-app.com/callback
HOOTSUITE_ACCESS_TOKEN=  # Populated after OAuth flow

# .gitignore
.env
.env.local
```

### Step 3: OAuth 2.0 Authorization Flow

```typescript
// auth.ts — OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow
import 'dotenv/config';

const { HOOTSUITE_CLIENT_ID, HOOTSUITE_CLIENT_SECRET, HOOTSUITE_REDIRECT_URI } = process.env;

// Step 1: Redirect user to authorize
function getAuthUrl(): string {
  const params = new URLSearchParams({
    response_type: 'code',
    client_id: HOOTSUITE_CLIENT_ID!,
    redirect_uri: HOOTSUITE_REDIRECT_URI!,
    scope: 'offline',
  });
  return `https://platform.hootsuite.com/oauth2/auth?${params}`;
}

// Step 2: Exchange authorization code for tokens
async function exchangeCode(code: string) {
  const response = await fetch('https://platform.hootsuite.com/oauth2/token', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
      'Authorization': `Basic ${Buffer.from(`${HOOTSUITE_CLIENT_ID}:${HOOTSUITE_CLIENT_SECRET}`).toString('base64')}`,
    },
    body: new URLSearchParams({
      grant_type: 'authorization_code',
      code,
      redirect_uri: HOOTSUITE_REDIRECT_URI!,
    }),
  });

  const tokens = await response.json();
  console.log('Access Token:', tokens.access_token);
  console.log('Refresh Token:', tokens.refresh_token);
  console.log('Expires In:', tokens.expires_in, 'seconds');
  return tokens;
}

// Step 3: Refresh expired token
async function refreshToken(refreshToken: string) {
  const response = await fetch('https://platform.hootsuite.com/oauth2/token', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
      'Authorization': `Basic ${Buffer.from(`${HOOTSUITE_CLIENT_ID}:${HOOTSUITE_CLIENT_SECRET}`).toString('base64')}`,
    },
    body: new URLSearchParams({
      grant_type: 'refresh_token',
      refresh_token: refreshToken,
    }),
  });
  return response.json();
}
```

### Step 4: Verify Connection

```typescript
async function verifyConnection(accessToken: string) {
  const response = await fetch('https://platform.hootsuite.com/v1/me', {
    headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${accessToken}` },
  });
  const user = await response.json();
  console.log('Connected as:', user.data.fullName);
  console.log('Organization:', user.data.organizationName);
  return user;
}
```

## Output

- OAuth 2.0 app credentials configured
- Access token obtained via authorization code flow
- Token refresh mechanism for long-lived access
- Connection verified with user profile

## Error Handling

| 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 |

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
