Tokens
Getting your tokens to authorize tweet.js to access you account
Logging in/ signing up
Go to Twitter and log in or sign up for an account which you would use for development.
It is recommended to create a separate account for your twitter app, Especially for creating a bot
Applying for access
Go to developers.twitter.com and apply
After applying you will have to wait a few days until Twitter reply back to you if you were accepted or they need more infomation...
The steps from here need to be done after you have developer access
Creating a app on Twitter
Create an APP on developer.twitter.com Fill in the required details
Getting your tokens
Now you would have to deside on what auth you want user - on a user account app - on a app user auth requires 4 keys, and this guide only follows user aut app auth only require bearer_token
Go to keys and tokens and generate an access token and access token secret, these four alphanumeric string thingies are the reason we went through so much trouble of making a developer account and app. consumer_key:’ ’, consumer_secret:’ ’, access_token:’ ’, access_token_secret:’ ’ these are the needed fields for you bot to work!!
Have a nice day coding :)
