Twitter API Access
For publishing direct into Twitter you need the Twitter API access. Here are the steps to get the Twitter API access.
-
Create a Twitter developer account and a Twitter App: https://developer.twitter.com/ The App might require verification from Twitter.
-
Got to "App settings" → "App permissions" and grant read and write permission to write tweets.
-
From the "Keys & tokens" tab, generate:
-
Access token and Access secret.
-
API Key and Secret (Consumer Secret), Access token (OAuth Access Token) and Access token secret (OAuth Access Token Secret) are required for setting up the App in Push.Delivery.
-
Configure Twitter Channel/App in Admin UI
Please go into the "Apps" tab and add a new App.
1) Give your App a name, e.g. "My Twitter App". 2) Then select the platform "Twitter". 3) Upload an icon for the channel (only for internal use) 4) Configure Push template 5) Configure Twitter API settings
-
Consumer Key -→ Twitter API Key
-
Consumer Secret -→ Twitter API Secret
-
Access token
-
Access token Secret
You can find these within your Twitter Developer account.
After sucessfully creating the App for Twitter the following information will be automatically shown inside the App:
-
ApiUser: This is the API username.
-
Password: This is the password for the API user.
-
AccessToken: Instead of using username and password an Acess Token is created.
-
platformId: The platform ID.
-
AppId: The App ID.
After setting up the App now it is time to create tags that users can register for.
