Configuring the Twitter API Developer Application

Before you can start consuming data from Twitter into Spring XD, you need to set up a development account and install the Twitter development environment. This setup process uses Twitter's developer site (http://dev.twitter.com) and requires you to have an existing Twitter account. If you don't have a Twitter account, you can sign up for one at http://www.twitter.com.

The developer website enables users to create keys for their applications to access Twitter's APIs. I'm going step-by-step, assuming you've never done it before. If you already know how to create Twitter developer access and the required credentials, then you can skip the remainder of this section.

Open a web browser and go to http://dev.twitter.com. Log in with your Twitter credentials.

Find your Twitter avatar image at the top right. Hover your mouse pointer over the arrow next to it. Click the My Applications link in the drop-down menu.

Click the Create a New Application button, as shown in Figure 9-1. Fill in the required fields for the application name, description, and a URL for your website (see Figure 9-2). This information is required if Twitter users decide to use their accounts with your application. You can leave the callback URL blank, because you won't be using it.

You need to agree to Twitter's terms and conditions as well as fill in a Captcha code. Click the Create Your Twitter Application button.

Assuming that all went well, you are directed to the Details configuration screen of your application. These settings include organization, authorization, settings, access keys, and an option to delete the application.
