Editing Twitter authentication setup (section)

== Generate and copy your individual, private, unique Twitter developer credentials == 
'''12''' In the next step, you will access Twitter credentials, which will let you authenticate with Twitter in python.

You need unique, private credentials to collect tweets. You will be pasting these credentials into your Python code. Be sure if you share your Python code, you ***do not** share your unique developer credentials. 

You should be at a page that looks like:

Click the "Keys and Tokens" tab. You will see a box called "Consumer API keys" with two long strings labeled "API key" and "API secret key". You should copy and paste those into a text file on your desktop.

Finally, click "Generate" which will open a modal with two new strings called "Access Token" and "Access Token Secret". Copy these two keys to the same file and close the modal.

You will need all four of these strings in order to have your Twitter application work.

'''Keep this material secret.''' Your access token and access token secret will allow anybody who has it to post to Twitter as you and to control your account. It is equivalent to your Twitter username and password so please be as careful with it as you would be with your Twitter password!
