===Making your own notebooks===
You will do the exercises below in your own notebook, which you will create. In every notebook you make, put the following python code in the first cell:
import tweepy
from twitter_authentication import CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET)
auth.set_access_token(ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET)
api = tweepy.API(auth)
This will enable your authenticated Twitter API calls via the variable <code>api</code>
