manually authorize a twitter app to a twitter account

So you're writting a twitterbot and you need to authorize your application to post to the account. You need an access token and secret for the account you're posting to. If the posting account is the same account that owns the application, no problem, you just push the button on your application's settings page to make the keys. But if you want to post to a different twitter account, there's no UI on apps.twitter.com to authorize it. So I made this bare-minimum node server to run through the authorization process. There's probably a much better way to do this, so please let me know what that way is!

  • You'll need a server with node.js!
  • Make sure your application has a callback URL specified in its settings page, even if it's just a placeholder. If there's nothing in the callback URL slot, this method of authorization won't work.
  • In authorize.js, fill in your application's consumer key and secret, and the domain on which you'll be running th

trying to figure out useful info for running python on dreamhost shared hosting - intended for twitter bot makers

python for botmakers, on dreamhost shared hosting

On a shared hosting service like dreamhost, how do you get your twitter bot up and running? Problems:

  • where should I put my script?
  • you can't install python modules like tweepy (for twitter access) because you don't have root permission
  • once you get that solved, how do you run your script? cron?

I'm still figuring this stuff out myself, so nothing is clear as it should be. Hope this page will be a resource that will improve over time.
