Configuration​
Getting Twitter OAuth credentials​
Start by accessing or creating a Twitter account.
If you do not already have a Client Id and Client Secret, you will first need to create them. Start by creating a project.
Note: If you don't already have a developer enabled account you will be required to fill in some additional organization and usage information along with the developer agreement and policy.
Once you have created a project in the Twitter developer portal, you will be required to provide an App name click on the "Next" button, then "Keys & Tokens" and note your Client Id (API Key) and Client Secret (API Key Secret) for the next step.
NOTE: The Client Id and Client Secret will no longer be visible after it is shown for the first time so be sure to temporarily copy it for the next step.
Configuring Twitter OAuth Credentials in crul​
Navigate to the credentials page in crul (top right corner menu -> credentials).
Click the "create" button.
Select "OAuth" from the type dropdown, then select "Twitter" from the provider dropdown.
Copy the Client Id (API Key) into the Client Id credentials form entry. Then copy the Client Secret (API Key Secret) into the Client Secret credentials form entry.
Test the credential by running the following query. You should see a populated token.access_token column in the results.
oauth --credential "twitter"
