- Enable “Read, Write and Access direct messages” on the permissions tab of your app page.
- On the 'Keys and Access Tokens' tab, take note of your app's Consumer Key (API Key) and Consumer Token (API Secret).
- On the same tab, generate your app's Access Token and Access Token Secret. You will need these Access Tokens to register your webhook URL, which is where Twitter will send account events.
- If you are unfamiliar with Twitter Sign-in and how user contexts work with the Twitter API review Obtaining Access Tokens. As you add accounts for which to receive events, you will subscribe them using that account's access tokens.
- Take note of your app's numeric ID, as seen in the 'Apps' page of the developer portal. When you apply for Account Activity API access, you'll need this app ID.
2. Get Account Activity API access
