Line 13 ⟶ 14:
'''3.''' Navigate to the [https://dev.twitter.com/apps Application Management section of Twitter] (https://dev.twitter.com/apps). You should see a page that says "You don't currently have any Twitter Apps" with a button underneath that says "Create New App". Click the "Create New App" button.
'''4.''' The next page will ask for application details. The first three are required so you will need to create a ''Name'', ''Description'', and ''Website URL''. You can choose whatever you want for these fields but keep in mind that the name ''can not'' contain the word "Twitter". Also keep in mind that the name needs to be ''unique'' in the world. The name itself does not matter. You should leave the "Callback URL" blank. If you find it easiest, you can just use the three following examples:
:Name: CDSW Test Application for '''<YOUR NAME>'''
:Description: CDSW Test Application
:Website: http://www.example.com/

: You should now see a list of "Application settings". The first two here are the most important and you will need to copy and paste these into a file. The first is the Consumer Key (API key). The second is the Consumer Secret (API secret). Both of them should be long strinigs of garbage looking letters and numbers. These are the keys that will let you program know that it's approved to grab data from Twitter.
'''7.''' Now, at the bottom of the page you should see a section marked "Your access token" that says, "You haven't authorized this application for your own account yet." Below that there is a button that says "Create my access token". Click on that button. Once you press it there will be a yellow 'Status' box at the top. It will give you a link you can click to refresh. Wait a minute or two and click it untill you see information, below including lines that give you your "Access token" and your "Access token secret". Copy these two pieces of information.
Line 38 ⟶ 39:
'''8.''' You should have four long strings of letters and numbers taken from this page now:
* Consumer Key (API key)
* Consumer Secret (API secret)
* Access token
* Access token secret
