- [Instructor] In order for you to execute
the code that we provide,
you are going to need your own personal
Twitter developer credentials.
So you are going to have to apply
for your own Twitter developer account
if you intend to execute our code on your own.
If all you wanna do is watch what I do,
you don't have to take this step yet
but you will have to go to their apply for access website
or if you're just at twitterdeveloper.com,
you can click the apply button
up in the upper right corner here.
When you do, you'll be brought to this webpage
where you have to click apply for a developer account.
And in order to apply,
you do have to have a Twitter account already.
So if you're not already part of the Twitter social network,
you will have to create your account
before you can even apply for the developer account.
Now I have an account that I don't use
so please don't message me on this one
and I'm just going to log in
so that you can see once you log in,
it's going to start asking you for information,
what it is you're going to be doing with the APIs
and you'll have to kind of walk your way
through this wizard, clicking the next button
as you answer the questions that they provide
and eventually you'll get to the point
of completing your application.
Now if you are applying as an individual versus a business,
my experience has been with our reviewers for the books
that anytime you apply as an individual,
you're typically approved right away.
But if you're applying as a business,
it can take some number of days
to have them review your application before approving it.
So keep in that mind
before you get started with this lesson.
So I would recommend that you set up a personal account
for the purpose of learning how to use the Twitter APIs
and then once you've done that,
if you need to use it with a company,
you can apply separately for a professional account
at that point.
