1- Login to twitter.com

2- Go to https://dev.twitter.com/

3- Go to my applications

4- Create a new app

5- Go to API keys menu

6- What is called "API key" should be put in a file as oauth.consumerKey

7- What is called "API key secret" should be put in a file as oauth.consumerKeySecret

8- Push th button "Create access tokens".

9- The acccess token in the web page goes into oauth.accessToken

10- The acccess token secret in the web page goes into oauth.accessTokenSecret

11- Be SURE of putting each token in the correct place.

You have an empty file called credentials.txt as an example to fill. Once you put the 4 values, you can run the program like this:

To get the followers of the user "test1234"

./twitter-stats.py -n test1234 -f -a credentials.txt

You can store the output in an external file every day and then compare them with diff.
