Not sure if this issue is specific to node-oauth but using axios I was able to tweet using twitter v2 APIs. Working code snippet added for reference:

const express = require('express');
const router = express.Router();
const OAuth = require('oauth-1.0a');
const axios = require('axios');

router.post('/twitter/tweet', async (req, res) => {
    try {
        const oauth = OAuth({
            consumer: {
                key: process.env.TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY,
                secret: process.env.TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET
            },
            signature_method: 'HMAC-SHA1',
            hash_function: (baseString, key) => crypto.createHmac('sha1', key).update(baseString).digest('base64')
        });

        const token = {
            key: '',
            secret: ''
        };

        const authHeader = oauth.toHeader(oauth.authorize({
            url: 'https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets',
            method: 'POST'
        }, token));

        const data = { "text": "Hello world!!" };

        await axios.post('https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets',
            data,
            {
                headers: {
                    Authorization: authHeader["Authorization"],
                    'user-agent': "v2CreateTweetJS",
                    'content-type': "application/json",
                    'accept': "application/json"
                }
            }
        );

        res.status(201).send({ message: "Tweet successful" });
    } catch (error) {
        console.log("error", error)
        res.status(403).send({ message: "Missing, invalid, or expired tokens" });
    }
});

what's matter with the authors？Why don't resolve this issue？

[18888628835]

oh my god。this issue has been here for two years ~~

@maychine-fatima @aditodkar I fixed this problem with the following code：

      oauth.post(
        `https://api.twitter.com/2/users/${twitterUserId}/following`,
        accessToken,
        accessTokenSecret,
        JSON.stringify({ target_user_id: '1613090899432722432' }),
        'application/json',
        (err, result) => {
        },
      )
