# Twitter

You will need to create a Twitter app and configure the Twitter provider for your Django application via the admin interface.

## App registration

To register an app on Twitter you will need a Twitter account. With an account, you can create a new app via:

    https://apps.twitter.com/app/new

In the app creation form fill in the development callback URL:

    http://127.0.0.1:8000/accounts/twitter/login/callback/

Twitter won’t allow using http://localhost:8000.

For production use a callback URL such as:

    http://{{yourdomain}}.com/accounts/twitter/login/callback/

To allow users to login without authorizing each session, select “Allow this application to be used to Sign in with Twitter” under the application’s “Settings” tab.

## App database configuration through admin

The second part of setting up the Twitter provider requires you to configure your Django application. Configuration is done by creating a Socialapp object in the admin. Add a social app on the admin page:

    /admin/socialaccount/socialapp/

Use the twitter keys tab of your application to fill in the form. It’s located:

    https://apps.twitter.com/app/{{yourappid}}/keys

The configuration is as follows:

- Provider, “Twitter”

- Name, your pick, suggest “Twitter”

- Client id, is called “Consumer Key (API Key)” on Twitter

- Secret key, is called “Consumer Secret (API Secret)” on Twitter

- Key, is not needed, leave blank
