Log into the Twitter Developers section     If you don t already have an account  you can login with your normal Twitter credentials  Go to  Create an app  Fill in the details of the application you ll be using to connect with the API   Your application name must be unique  If someone else is already using it  you won t be able to register your application until you can think of something that isn t being used   Click on Create your Twitter application Details of your new app will be shown along with your consumer key and consumer secret  If you need access tokens  scroll down and click Create my access token   The page will then refresh on the  Details  tab with your new access tokens  You can recreate these at any time if you need to     By default your apps will be granted for read-only access  To change this  go to the Settings tab and change the access level required in the  Application Type  section   Existing apps  To get the consumer and access tokens for an existing application  go to My applications  which is available from the menu in the upper-right

FYI  from November 2018 anyone who wants access Twitter   s APIs  must apply for a Twitter Development Account by visiting https   developer twitter com   Once your application has been approved then only you ll be able to create Twitter apps   Once the Twitter Developer Account is ready   1  Go to https   developer twitter com    2  Click on Apps and then click on Create an app   3  Provide an App Name  amp  Description    4  Enter a website name in the Website URL field   5  Click on Create   6  Navigate to your app  then click on Details and then go to Keys and Tokens    Reference  http   www technocratsid com getting-twitter-consumer-api-access-token-keys

From the Twitter FAQ   Most integrations with the API will require you to identify your application to Twitter by way of an API key  On the Twitter platform  the term  API key  usually refers to what s called an OAuth consumer key  This string identifies your application when making requests to the API  In OAuth 1 0a  your  API keys  probably refer to the combination of this consumer key and the  consumer secret   a string that is used to securely  sign  your requests to Twitter
