Twitter Developer credentials for a second account

[y3khan]

Hello,

I have a Twitter developer account linked to my Twitter account. I have no problem running the API for my Twitter account.
However, I have another Twitter account, and I like to use the APIs for this other account.
Is the best option here to use the 3-legged OAuth function. If so, then I really don’t know how to set up the 3-legged OAuth. There are so many links it requires.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You

There are so many links it requires.

Not certain what this means. It sounds like you’re struggling to set up third party Auth for an app that you already own, and don’t want to do authentication?

I posted about this today on Stack Overflow. Any way to send a Tweet as someone else without applying to Twitter Dev again? - Stack Overflow

Hi Andy,

Thank You very much for your response. You are correct. I have a bot account that I would like to auto Tweet from without creating a new developer account.
I tried to enable the 3-legged author but could not because it is asking for URLs that I do not have. I am not sure how to fill that in.

If there is a YouTube tutorial on setting this up on Jupyter notebook, that would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Yasser

Hi Piper,

Your message got me thinking and I believe I have found the solution.
I was able to find the access token for my bot account (I saw first bit of this tutorial here on how to do that: ’ 30 Days of Python - Day 21 - Twitter API with Tweepy - Python TUTORIAL’ - after entering the code and running it, a new window popped up and I entered in the credentials and it then gave me a PIN number which I plugged back into my Jupiter notebook)

I guess do not need to activate the 3-legged Oauth.

Thank You!!
