Twitter Plugin Options - Keys

There are four mandatory values required to run the Twitter plugin: Consumer Key, Consumer Secret Key, Access Token, and Access Token Secret Key.

The key values can:

• either be supplied as Kettle parameters, press Ctrl + Space to select
• or be supplied from the Twitter app, described in the Procedure steps below

Procedure

1. Log in to https://dev.Twitter.com/. Create a Twitter account if you don't already have one.
2. Go to My Application and click Create an application.
3. After you have supplied all the requested details and created your application, a page is displayed that contains: 'Consumer Key', 'Consumer Secret' and a 'Create my access token' button.
4. Select the Settings tab, and set your application access type to 'Read and write'.
5. Click Update this Twitter application settings. It will take few minutes to update your new settings.
