==Enter your API information== * Start your text editor (probably Notepad++ if you [[Windows text editor|installed it following our instructions last time]]). Navigate to the directory that contains TwitterAPI (probably something of the form <code>C:\Users\'''YOURUSERNAME'''\Desktop\TwitterAPI</code>). * Open up the file <code>twitter_authentication.py</code> in your text editor. * You will see four lines that include four variables in ALL CAPITALS that are being assigned, in the normal ways we learned about last session, to strings. At the moment, all of the strings say CHANGE_ME. * Go find the four keys, tokens, and secrets you created and wrote-down when you followed the [[Community Data Science Workshops/Twitter authentication setup|Twitter authentication setup]]. Change every string that says CHANGE_ME into a string that includes the key, token, or secret you downloaded. Remember that since these are strings, we need to include quotations marks around them. Also make sure that you match up the right keys and tokens with the right variables. Once you have done this, your example programs are set up to use the Twitter API!
