This how-to article will walk you through setting up a new Project and Twitter App from the Twitter Developer portal

\uD83D\uDCD8 Instructions

  1. Navigate to https://twitter.developer.com and sign in using the same credentials you use to sign in to your Twitter account.

  1. After signing in, click the button that says “Developer Portal”. This will redirect you to the Developer Portal

  2. Once in the Developer Portal, click on the “Create Project” button and go through the steps to create your Twitter Project

You can use whatever name you want for your project. We suggest including “AppArmor” in the title.

We suggest using the following verbiage for the Project Description:

This application is part of a unified mass notification platform, which allows our security department to send safety notifications over multiple channels with a single action. Other channels include posting to our website, and sending a push notification to our mobile safety smartphone app. We'd like to use this app to include a Tweet to our Twitter account at the same time, to inform users via Twitter of campus safety information. Our application will utilize Twitter APIs in order to allow users to send a Tweet from the web-based Dashboard. This is a single-purpose application - it will only be used for the institutional Twitter handle to Tweet in the way described above.

  1. Continue to set up your new Twitter App by giving it a name

  1. The next screen (Keys and Tokens) will show you your new App’s API Key, API Key Secret. You will want to copy these and set them aside for later. If you do not copy them now, you will still be able to regenerate them later and copy them then. After copying these keys, click the “App Settings” button.

  1. Click on the “Set up” button.

  1. Fill out the following settings:

    1. “App Permissions” should be “Read and Write”

    2. “Type of App” should be “Web App, Automated App or Bot”

    3. The Callback URI and Website URI should be your AppArmor domain

  2. Click “Save” and then “Yes” to the modal.

  1. The next page will show you your OAuth 2.0 Client ID and Client Secret. You do not need to copy these. Click “Done”.

Your new Twitter Project and App are now set up to be able to work with AppArmor Alert.
