How to configure Twitter API With Java?
The following are some of the possibilities that you have, in order to integrate Twitter service
- Twitter4J on http://twitter4j.org/

On this Twitter4J Example, I am showing How to use twitter with Twitter4J
Twitter4J is a free open source API (Twitter4J is not maintained by Twitter service) By using this API you can easily integrate Twitter service with your Java application.

First you need to create a twitter application, for this you need to use following link
You need to login with twitter credentials, a twitter account is mandatory (please see the below screenshot)
After the registration, you will get two types of credentials

import twitter4j.ResponseList;
import twitter4j.Status;
import twitter4j.Twitter;
import twitter4j.TwitterFactory;
import twitter4j.auth.AccessToken;
//Twitter API With Java Example
public class Twitter4jExample {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Twitter twitter = new TwitterFactory().getInstance();
// Twitter Consumer key & Consumer Secret
twitter.setOAuthConsumer("l5HHK9Zif6cbQLVTm2lzTQ", "3Jp8X9B78MijlxgFXrp76S5mT2QkqK1iOytZ8z1sc");
// Twitter Access token & Access token Secret
twitter.setOAuthAccessToken(new AccessToken("371118809-g8MSGnFNZVe1ZDHynOQF4x83vIsCkJAinI4EIhRW",
"MEeLoM0rC90gucCdVpdeuacfYvWcLIhDpaS8XDlr4Ts"));
try {
// Getting Twitter Timeline using Twitter4j API
ResponseList statusReponseList = twitter.getUserTimeline(new Paging(1, 5));
for (Status status : statusReponseList) {
System.out.println(status.getText());
}
// Post a Tweet using Twitter4j API
Status status = twitter.updateStatus("Hello");
System.out.println("Successfully updated the status to [" + status.getText() + "].");
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
}
