Registering a new Twitter application

Registering a new Twitter application with Twitter is a reasonably quick process.

Once you have completed this tutorial, you will have a ConsumerKey and ConsumerSecret which will allow you to communicate with Twitter using OAuth Token

Login to twitter
Login to twitter
Go to developers section

1. Click "Settings"
2. Click "Connections"
3. Click on the right hand side where it says "Developers click -here-"
4. (not shown) at the bottom of the screen it says in bold "Register a new application".

Developers section
Complete the fields

Fill in information about your application. You can edit this later on.

Callback Url field is the Url which Twitter will use to return the user to your application. If you are developing software locally, you want this to point to your localhost. However, Twitter will not allow "localhost" in this field. An easy trick is to use "http://dev.twipler.com" which I've set up to point at 127.0.0.1

Application details

Excellent. Now we're done you'll see a screen like this. Here is your ConsumerKey and ConsumerSecret.
