Register an application to start using the Twitter API

At the present time, we look all around Twitter integration to register as a member. Today, I show you how to register an application to start using the Twitter API. Let me tell you the most important thing about this post. We are just registering an application in Twitter, not any sort of integration.

Register your Twitter Application

In the first step to using Twitter is to register and configure your application, the process that will assign you a consumer key and consumer secret, and allow you to describe your application detail and Callback URL, etc. The process begin when you log in to your Twitter account, later that open the link http://twitter.com/apps and click the Register a new application. as Figure 1.1

[Figure 1.1]

It is a very basic form with some useful marketing information about your application. There are Application Icon, Application Name, Description, Application Website, Organization, Organization Website and Application Type fields, which will be shown at the time of authentication. I had just filled for demonstration. as Figure 1.2

Next fields are very technical for the developer where Callback URL will be declared. Callback URL is to define that URL when user will be authenticated and Allow/Deny application. It appears when you will select Application Type as a Browser. You will have to write a URL where user will be passed on. as Figure 1.3

After you save your information, Twitter will assign you a consumer key and consumer secret which displays your newly provisioned application’s OAuth credentials for use in your authentication workflow. You can also reset your consumer key and secret if necessary. as Figure 1.4

With these steps we create an application in Twitter. I will show you soon how to integrate oauth with PHP and ASP.NET as well.
