This is the single best series of tutorials i've seen. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into these. They're helping me learn immensely.
Thank you!!
I like how you apologize for your 'sidetrack mumbles,' but sometimes they actually have some pretty good information in them lol
i never get bored watching daniels videos like twice or thirce.... big thumbs up
The way you teach keeps the viewer interested and entertained, I love it. This is my first video that i've watched but Subscribed! Keep up the good work!
The last bit about security was great and appreciated! Thanks!
update as of july 2018, you have to apply in order to be able to make apps, just fyi for anyone trying to follow this.
Hey Daniel, You are too funny and so is your teaching style. Keep it up.
Good explanation with such amazing energy! Great work!
people may have beaten me to this, but! if you're trying to do this in 2020, it still works- broadly- but you have to actually apply for a developer account and API access via dev.twitter.com or whatever. it's a fairly breezy process; you just briefly describe what you want to use it for and exactly what twitter functions you intend to use. some of the menus look different, but everything related to node.js and twit seem to still be sound.
*that said*, i have yet to receive anything saying i was 'approved' for API access but have still been able to make tweets with the methods in this series about half an hour after i applied. i don't know how restrictive this system actually is; maybe automating interactions with other accounts requires oversight and approval but you're allowed to post into the void from the jump? who knows. good luck!
Cheers man, you crack me up. These videos are all awesome and super approachable for learning code. Just a little aside from this comment though... the phrase "maybe you're not even watching this anymore" never actually applies unless the people you've made this video for are only the ones who left earlier... Anyway, back from the aside to the comment .... Keep up the great work!
thank you for this video, i understand API's a lot better after watching this. In class i was totally confused
Thank you for that tutorial Daniel, You are so helpfull!
Please actually revisit this tutorial! It's so helpful
Subscribed!
You are a very good teacher.
Thank you.
Great video, great addendum! Appreciated
this is helpful , you are a great teacher
Your videos are so good.
woooooooaaahh.... its the first time i see him programming in js without p5!
So, in 2019 you have to apply and get approved to make a bot app. This is what I put in my description if anyone needs it: "I'm a web development student following the "15.3: Setting up a Twitter app - Twitter Bot Tutorial" video on TH-cam from The Coding Train channel. My goal is to make a Twitter bot and practice using npm and working with APIs."
and for specifics:
"I will use get a request so my bot will have an ability to search by hashtags and retweet them. Will retweet tweets with hashtags such as "cuteparrots".
And for a second spec: "Will use post command so my bot will have a tweet and retweet functionality to post tweets and pictures of mainly birds and parrots and fun facts. No direct messages functionality.". For the last 2 questions, I said no.
Thank you!
I am getting "Server error - application not submitted
Invalid data received, could not process request"
Is there any solution to this problem ?
Can I change my input and re-apply ?
You are the best!
thank you very much!!
Hey, great video!! Would you also make a tutorial on making a slack-bot as well, please?
I love his ADD, reminds me of myself.
For this documentation hopefully tutorials and lots of information ;) 5:17
Thanks for making this series, I am building my first app through all the information and knowledge you share, how much time on an avg does twitter take to verify my account???
its been 2-3 days i am waiting for their authentication.
Nice
Awesome video! Let's say I wanted to set up all the Oauth keys so that I could have a friend download my program and run it using his own account, while keeping my information secret. How could I do that?
Very Very Very Very Very Gud
Instead of that config.js file, you could store your keys in the environmental variables and access them from there. I think it's a better way doing it like this because otherwise you would need to document what the config file stores in it.
Yes! I am going to show this in a future video!
I laughed, I cried, I learned ..
hah, glad to hear!
To fix this error, Just reinstall package (npm install twit --save)
throw err;

Twitter has changed its access to the API. From my understanding, they are not currently offering essential access but you can apply for elevated access. I applied and I guess I will wait and see
3:25 That laugh though...
there is a timeout_ms under the authentication keys now?
I cannot get my terminal to display text 'The bot is starting' although it does not give me an error code.
I am trying here to run the code with the new command var T = new Twit(config); but terminal returns an error for me. I installed some extensions on Visual Studio Code, restarted it, but still not working. Any sugestions?
best is, that he finds it interesting to be hacked :D
It sure is. :D :P

MVC actually
I'm getting this error when I try to open the javascript file (bot.js in your case)

I saved a text file as bot.js but can't read it in windows cmd? Any thoughts?
I am getting "Server error - application not submitted

Is there any solution to this problem ?
Hi Dan, Loving your videos. I've been following your steps along, however Ive ran into a problem now. When I try to run the node bot.js in terminal, I get this error message - module.js:327
throw err;

Any idea? I've looked all over the net for almost 2 hours! Thanks
Hey @jordan you need to tell us way way more to get help. That's like saying 'It won't start!" and we are all like, what won't start? A car? Your computer? Your toothbrush? What kind of toothbrush? You have an electric brush? And it doesn't start? That's so weird! You are weird! ....and then we all lose interest. Now I'm sure you solved your problem by now, but I just thought the lesson of how to share your issue may still be unresolved, so hopefully the next time you have a problem you'll be very descriptive e.g. OS, what stage this error happened, what versions of NodeJS, the tool being installed, etc. All these things are the minimums for us to be able to help you. Good luck and enjoy the course, I know I certainly am :))
Hi, sorry I'm a year late, Try --in the command line-- to go to the same directory where your bote.js is located then type: node bote.js
Dan, I'm wondering what would this be like in ES6. Instead of var Twit would we use class Twit? Do you have an updated tutorial?
I'm only just starting myself but I watched a vid yesterday that might have some hints th-cam.com/video/jpV1B2N4IxY/w-d-xo.html
I'm gonna write a bot to comment all your videos with a "Big tank you Daniel".....
+bruzz pixel Haha! (thanks for watching)
Hi,
I have entered my consumer_key and other authentication information from the development page as explained but yet when ever i run my js file, the error comes which reads like ' Twit config must include `consumer_key` when using user auth.'
Kindly assist me with a possible solution.
Any luck? Same problem here. Someone would like to help us.
Please share about iptv
anyone else having issues in the first few minutes of the video? i feel like its very simple issue regarding path but ive tried this on both my mac and pc and i cant get the node bot.js command to show the console log call. i noticed that his "terminal" is showing his path or folder hes in but in my terminal it shows my name like this "firstnamelastname-- -bash --80X24" i just dont understand why i cant navigate or figure out how to use my terminal properly
Daniel, thank you for your videos! But i' ve got a problem, when i try to get a tweet. Console write this
{ errors: [ { code: 32, message: 'Could not authenticate you.' } ] }
What can i do?
+Артем Мелкумов Check to make sure your API keys are correct.
They are correct. I checked several times. I don't know what's wrong with it!
Someone knows how to instal p5.js on windows??? plase helppp
good
:)
How can use twitter data (tweets) to respond to a user in messenger bot?
I love your videos. I made a twitter just to follow along with this.
Do you mean Facebook messenger? I haven't looked it its API yet, but I'd like to sometime!
yeah. That would be awesome!
Also, how can I get all tweets from a particular user? in the example, you searched a word. How would I write the T.get(...)? thanks
do I need a developer account of twitter for this to work?
Twitter has changed their developer rules so a lot of this doesn't apply anymore, I am going to try to make updated ones soon!
I'm just watching this video, and everything has changed on twitter now :) , where can I find the updated tutorial?
Got anything?
6:38 At this moment he knew....... He f*cked up...
If you can't use google voice to create another phone number to authorize your app - just create an app on your main twitter account (that has your personal number) and use the following script to authorize your bot to use that app credentials: github.com/aparrish/example-twitter-bot-node/blob/master/get_tokens.js
Hi Dan, say I want to create a website to display projects like SmartRockets or simulation programs running on your book site, what's more videos have you not yet taught for me to do so? By the way, thanks again for all the great videos you have done, and it just came to my mind that if there is rating for the richest people in the world in terms of their video value, I will definitely rate you Number 1 :)
+Kenny L Take a look at this wiki page! github.com/processing/p5.js/wiki/Embedding-p5.js
Thanks a lot Dan

Cant find the "Manage Your Apps" link? Go to apps.twitter.com
He should pin this!
got subscription on lynda just to find out there is such an awesome stuff for free on youtube
hey,
i am having this error "ReferenceError: require is not defined" do you know what is the reason of it ?
😅
started doing but now i have to have a developer account and have to wait until authentication..
Yep, I'm with some others here. Can't go any further with your vids. Stuck here. When I try the node bot.js command I get the following:
SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL
at Object.exports.runInThisContext (vm.js:76:16)
at Module._compile (module.js:513:28)

at run (bootstrap_node.js:352:7)
at startup (bootstrap_node.js:144:9)
at bootstrap_node.js:467:3
And trying to go the next step of npm start gives me:
Failed to parse json
npm ERR! Unexpected token '“' at 7:5
npm ERR! “start”: “node bot.js”,
npm ERR! ^
npm ERR! File: /Users/drivenamewithheld/Documents/Node/Gracebot/package.json
npm ERR! Failed to parse package.json data.
npm ERR! package.json must be actual JSON, not just JavaScript.
npm ERR!
Also, worth mentioning that loading up Twit did NOT create the "dependencies" in the package like it does in your demo. I had to type those in by hand which I've checked and triple-checked in case I put something wrong in. Those are:
],
"author": "",
"license": "ISC”,
“dependencies”: {
“twit”: “^2.2.4”
}
You are using the wrong ". Copy an existing one from the JSON you showed at the end of your comment.
I get this error: Can't find variable: require Have any tips on what might cause this?
+Janko Bosch This is likely some weird syntax error (comma, semi-colon, parentheses, etc. out of place.)
good day, how come i am having this error Error: Twit config must include `consumer_key` when using user auth., i have all my keys and tokens and veried from dev.twitter.com but still i get that error what could be the cause of this?
i just moved the tokens and keys back to Twit({}) then it started to work
@@ThabangBosaka I know I'm three years late but you probably didn't comment out the var T = new Twit() line in your code before running it
Maybe this should be updated to reflect twitters changes as of july 2018. Now an application is requiered to setup a dev account @twitter
Yes, I'll have to revisit these videos, oy.
@@TheCodingTrain has this been revisited?
Hay qua!
hay c2
Since July 2018 you need to have a verified twitter developer account.
You need to apply for it and hope to get the permission to use the dev tools ...
Alas, yes, I need to revisit these tutorials. .
Try printing T to see errors.
isn't there a way for you to make a twitter account for all of us where our bots would post pictures all into that one account?
+BaconKwagga Thanks for the comment. That's an interesting idea, certainly possible. But at the moment I think it would be too much trouble to maintain and support.
