How to register a webhook url in Twitter?

How to register a Twitter Webhook URL in Twitter? I am successful in authorizing my app using application-only authentication. I believe that app-only authentication is required in sending POST Request in https://api.twitter.com/1.1/account_activity/webhooks.json.

So Here is my code,

HTTP.call('POST', 'https://api.twitter.com/oauth2/token', {
    params: { 'grant_type':'client_credentials'},
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8',
        'Authorization': 'Basic '+base64token
    }
},function (error, response) {
    if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
        token = response.data.access_token;

        HTTP.call('POST', 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/account_activity/webhooks.json', {
            params: { 'url':'https://someurl.com/twitter'},
            headers: {
                'Authorization': 'Bearer '+token
            }
        },function (error, response) {
            if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
                console.log(response);
            } else {
                console.error(error.message);
            }
        }); 
    } else {
        console.error(error.message);
    }
});

The error I received is " {"errors":[{"code":261,"message":"Application cannot perform write actions. Contact Twitter Platform Operations through https://support.twitter.com/forms/platform."}]}"

What is the problem here? How can I solve this issue?

That error is caused by supposedly breaching terms of service. It's reasonably common and easy enough to get resolved.

Determining whether your app has been restricted

Log into the account that you used to register the application
Visit Twitter's application management site (https://apps.twitter.com)
On that page,"Unable to perform write actions" will appear below the name of your application only if the app can no longer perform write actions;

Result of Restrictions

Attempts to access write-based Twitter API methods, such as statuses/update or favorites/create, through an API key in this state will result in our API returning an HTTP 403 response error: “Application cannot perform write actions. Contact Twitter Platform Operations through https://support.twitter.com/forms/platform.”

How to resolve

Raise a ticket on the Twitter support page, here: https://support.twitter.com/forms/platform

Appealing only takes 5 minutes, and Twitter is very fast to resolve
