Connecting to Twitter

Create a Twitter App on Twitter Developers : https://apps.twitter.com/app/new . Next you'll see a screen with a "Details" tab. Setup the App and "Application Type", choose "Read and Write".

Set the values in config.js

Then go to the Keys and Access Tokens tab, you will need this data to setup our config.js as shown below.

module.exports = {
  twit: {
    consumer_key:         'API key',
    consumer_secret:      'API secret key',
    access_token:         'Access token',
    access_token_secret:  'Access token secret'
  },
  hashtag: "#ironhacks",
  interval: 1000 * 60 * 30
}

In between those quotes, instead of 'key', paste the appropriate info from the Details page.

Run the app

node index.js
