At a loss trying to get access keys, secret keys, tokens , secret tokens for Twitter feed with The Grid and Essential Grid

Hi,

I must be missing something here. What exactly is needed to be able to use Twitter feed in The Grid/Essential Grid?
The Grid message is “You didn’t authorize The Grid to connect to Twitter”

I am logged in client’s Twitter and was redirected to developer’s account , created one, waiting to get confirmation.
Do I have to go through steps shown here? Not creating a new app, just wanting to use the plugins?

Sorry for the rambling, appreciate your help :slight_smile:

Yes. You have to set up a new ‘app’ (which is technically The Grid/etc) that uses the API key/secret to communicate with Twitter. That’s basically like the phone number that Twitter associates to your app to set rate limits/etc. It’s dead easy. Just walk through the steps to get your API key/secret, and you’ll be good to go! :slight_smile:

Thank you :slight_smile:
And now for the silly question, do I have to do this for every plugin or are those keys valid for all?

Yes. I use the same ones personally.

Hey @jrhager84,

We’re glad to know that you have figured out the setup and thanks for sharing it to @Isabelle_808.
