Twitter App Registration
To be able to retrieve Twitter content via Social Media app you will need to register your “install” of the Social media App as a Twitter application. This will allow the App components to be authenticated with Twitter to allow your app to retrieve the Twitter data feeds for posts.
- Go to https://dev.twitter.com/apps/ and set up your Twitter application under your account as a Twitter Developer
- Click the “Create a new application” button in the upper right corner of the "My Application" page
- Under the Application Details section, enter a "Name" for your app. (Basically, give “your install of the ptSocialMedia app” a name. The name is up to you. ie. My Site's SocialMedia App.)
- Enter a "Description".
- Enter a "Website" URL. (This one should be easy.)
- Note: A "Callback URL" is NOT needed.
- Check the box to agree to the Twitter "Rules of the Road"
- Fill in the CAPTCHA info correctly
- Click the ‘Create Your Twitter Application’ button
- Make note of (or Copy) the Consumer Key and the Consumer Secret that are generated for your new Twitter application.
