The file says: “discordBotToken”:””, “twitterConsumerKey”:””, (continuous)

  • To find the discordBotToken, go to https://discord.com/developers/applications , create an application by pressing “New Application” or go for a pre-existing application, then in the section “Bot”, create one. Beneath the username it should say “Token”. Hit “Copy” and enter it in

You will need to have access to Twitter Developer, and create an application in https://developer.twitter.com/en/portal/dashboard for 4 of the values.

  • To find the twitterConsumerKey, in the Twitter Developer Portal, in the new project created, select “Keys and tokens” and go to “Consumer Keys”. Besides “API Keys & Secrets” please view it. Regenerate if needed. The API Key is the value
  • To find the twitterConsumerSecret, stay on the tab stated in twitterConsumerKey and copy the “API key secret”.

  • The following is an array, so you can follow multiple people, so the value may look like [“twitter-a”] or [“twitter-a”,”twitter-b”] or even [“<twittera”,”twitter-b”,”twitter-c”]. These values however must be the user’s ID, which you can find at https://tweeterid.com/ – so for example, @ESLotherwise is 4293668297

  • The title is the title of what you want to come up, so for example “New Tweet”
  • The colour is the colour that the line is, so for example #1A91DA is the Twitter Blue
