Setup

Create Twitter App

The Twitter API requires OAuth for all of its functionality, so you'll need a registered Twitter application. Follow the instructions here to create one.

Once you've created an application, make sure you enable OAuth 1.0a access and set the App permission to Read and Write.

The app API key and secret can be specified as command line arguments --api-key / --api-key-secret or as environment variables SUPERBLOCK_API_KEY and SUPERBLOCK_API_KEY_SECRET.

Generate access token

To generate and access token run superblock --authorize and past the PIN shown after you authorized the app. Example:

$ superblock --authorize
Paste your PIN here:
Set the following environment variables or pass them with --token and --token-secret

SUPERBLOCK_TOKEN=myToken
SUPERBLOCK_TOKEN_SECRET=myTokenSecret
