# Twitter OAuth Tokens Generator
This is a Twitter authentication tokens generator for [v1.1](https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/v1) and [v2](https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/early-access) apps that use OAuth.
With this keys you can use and manage a Twitter account with code using some libraries like [Twit](https://www.npmjs.com/package/twit), or some apps like [Twitter Crypto Bot](https://github.com/totigm/twitter-crypto-bot).
## 📋 Requirements
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org)
- [Twitter developer account](https://developer.twitter.com)
## Follow the steps
- Once you have your Twitter developer account, **create a new project and app** with it.
- Make sure your app has **v1.1 and v2 Access**. You can check this by going to ["Projects & Apps > Overview"](https://developer.twitter.com/en/portal/projects-and-apps).
- Open the app settings, go to the "Keys and tokens" section and generate an API Consumer Key and a Consumer Secret Key. Save them somewhere safe.
- If you have already generated the keys before and lost them, simply click on regenerate keys.
- Inside the app settings go to "Edit authentication settings".
- Enable "3-legged OAuth".
- Add a callback url exactly like this `http://localhost:3000/twitter/callback`.
- Clone this repo to your computer.
- Execute `yarn` or `npm i` inside the repo's directory.
- Create a file named `.env` in the root folder of the repository and add the following:
```
CONSUMER_KEY=YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY
CONSUMER_SECRET=YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET
```
- Run `yarn start` or `npm start` and wait for your browser to open.
- Log in with your Twitter account that is going to be controlled by your Twitter application, or in case you are already logged in, just authorize it.
- Once it's finished, every key and token are going to be copied to your clipboard. Just paste them where you need.
