Can a twitter app automatically tweet on behalf of account it is associated with?

Question

I’m a little confused with the process of getting a Twitter bot I want to associate with my personal Twitter account to tweet on my personal account’s behalf.

I set up the app and gave it read wrote permissions. I then created a curl command to send a tweet following the instructions at https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/tweets/manage-tweets/api-reference/post-tweets

The example curl command is here:

`https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" -H "Content-type: application/json" -d '{"text": "Hello World!"}'

However, I just get a 401 error and it says I have to be in a “user context.” I tried adding the access key and access secret to the url as <user>:<pass>@api.twitter.com but that didn’t help.

So do I still have to somehow authorize the twitter bot to work with my twitter account even though it is associated with the account?
