2Visit the Twitter developer page and create a new application:
3
4 https://dev.twitter.com/apps/new
5
6This will get you a CONSUMER_KEY and CONSUMER_SECRET.
7
8When users run your application they have to authenticate your app
9with their Twitter account. A few HTTP calls to twitter are required
10to do this. Please see the twitter.oauth_dance module to see how this
11is done. If you are making a command-line app, you can use the
12oauth_dance() function directly.
13
14Performing the "oauth dance" gets you an ouath token and oauth secret
15that authenticate the user with Twitter. You should save these for
16later so that the user doesn't have to do the oauth dance again.
17
18read_token_file and write_token_file are utility methods to read and
19write OAuth token and secret key values. The values are stored as
20strings in the file. Not terribly exciting.
21
22Finally, you can use the OAuth authenticator to connect to Twitter. In
23code it all goes like this::
24
25 MY_TWITTER_CREDS = os.path.expanduser('~/.my_app_credentials')
26 if not os.path.exists(MY_TWITTER_CREDS):
27 oauth_dance("My App Name", CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET,
28 MY_TWITTER_CREDS)
29
30 oauth_token, oauth_secret = read_token_file(MY_TWITTER_CREDS)
31
32 twitter = Twitter(auth=OAuth(
33 oauth_token, oauth_token_secret, CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET))
34
35 # Now work with Twitter
36 twitter.statuses.update('Hello, world!')
