Step A: Install the Twitter ToolkitSee the Instructions available in the Installing the Twitter Toolkit VI Package tutorial.Step B: Create your Twitter Developer Account and Application Overview:In order to use the Twitter API from an application you need Client/Consumer Credentials and Access Credentials. Each set of Credentials consists of a token and a secret (similar to a username and password). Client Credentials are created at the Twitter Developer site and are are used by your application when talking to the Twitter API. Keep the Client Credentials safe in your application because they are used to represent you to Twitter; if someone figures out your Client Credentials they can pretend to represent your application.Access Credentials represent the users Credentials in relation to the application. When you use the Twitter Open VI with your Client Credentials, the user will be taken to twitter.com to login and approve your application for their account. If the user approves your application then the Twitter Open VI will return a valid handle to use the Twitter API functions. Twitter Open VI also returns the Access Credentials so that you can save them and use them the next time the user runs your application. By saving the Access Tokens you prevent the user from having to login to Twitter ever time they run your application (see the examples in Step C: Running a Twitter Example in LabVIEW for more details).Instructions:Create a Twitter account by going to http://www.twitter.com or login using your existing accountUsing your twitter account, login to http://dev.twitter.com/appsOnce logged in, select Create a new applicationOn the Create an Application screen enter the details for your Twitter LabVIEW Application and press Create you Twitter application. NOTE: You MUST enter a value in the Callback URL field and it can be any valid URL EXCEPT a blank Callback URL. For example, a valid value for any application using the Twitter Toolkit for LabVIEW would be the following (as seen in the screenshot below): http://www.example.comAfter pressing Create your Twitter application you will be taken to the configuration screen for your application. Select the Settings tab, change the Access mode to Read and Write, and press Update this Twitter application's settings at the bottom of the page.Return to the Details tab and verify that Access level is set to Read and Write. Take note of the Consumer Key and the Consumer Secret as these are the Client/Consumer Credentials for your application.Note: If you are creating the Twitter Application to only post on the Twitter User account that you registered with, then you can use the Create my access token button provided on this page to create access credentials. The Access Credentials on the Details tab link your application to your specific Twitter developer account (see Overview for the distinction between Access and Client Credentials).If you want users to be able to login and post to their own Twitter accounts then you do not need the Access Credentials on this page and only need the Client/Consumer Credentials.Step C: Running a Twitter Example in LabVIEWSee the Instructions available in the Using the Twitter Toolkit in LabVIEW tutorial.

Hi Ajayvignesh_MV,

I'm glad you got the toolkit to work! Hopefully your project is going well. Are you using Twitter for alerts from a device? It would be interesting to see how posting to Twitter helped
