How to set keys access tokens for Twitter Spark streaming

Question

I am executing a Spark Streaming example where I am fetching data from Twitter based on the specified tags. When I am running TwitterPopularTags.scala, I am getting authentication failure issue.

Later I figured out I am haven’t set the twitter login keys, which need to be provided.

System.setProperty("twitter4j.oauth.consumerKey", "****");
System.setProperty("twitter4j.oauth.consumerSecret", "****");
System.setProperty("twitter4j.oauth.accessToken", "****");
System.setProperty("twitter4j.oauth.accessTokenSecret", "****");
 

Can anyone explain me this how to do this?

Answer 1

Either you have to create a Twitter4j.properties file where you need to specify the four keys or you can go ahead and specify the keys in you program as well. But you need to use twitter4j jar for that.

oauth.consumerKey=****
oauth.consumerSecret=****
oauth.accessToken=****
oauth.accessTokenSecret=****

Go to  https://apps.twitter.com/ link. There you need to create a Twitter application and you’ll get the keys in Keys & Access Tokens tab.
