How to integrate with twitter

eschnou edited this page Jan 20, 2013 · 2 revisions

Twitter now requires every client application to use OAuth for authenticating with its API. In order to do so, a client application must have a OAuth ‘consumer key’ and a secret, linked to the application and the domain from which API calls will be made. You must therefore obtain your own keys, linked to your own domain. To do so, simply visit this page at Twitter and register your application: http://dev.twitter.com/apps

You need to the following parameters:

  • Application type: Browser
  • Callback url: http://<your domain>/admin/sns/callback
  • Default Access Type: Read & Write

Once you have a consumer key and consumer secret, add them to your config.ini file in the Twitter section.
