## 🗝️ Obtaining a Twitter token To get a Twitter token, it is required to apply to the [developer program](https://apps.twitter.com). It's a bit tedious, but requests seems to be approved quite quickly. Create an app from the [developer dashboard](https://developer.twitter.com/en/portal/dashboard) and register your bearer token in repository secrets. ![Twitter token](/.github/readme/imgs/plugin_tweets_secrets.png) ## ℹ️ Examples workflows ```yaml name: Latest tweets uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest with: filename: metrics.plugin.tweets.svg token: NOT_NEEDED base: "" plugin_tweets: yes plugin_tweets_token: ${{ secrets.TWITTER_TOKEN }} plugin_tweets_user: github ``` ```yaml name: Latest tweets including attachments uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest with: filename: metrics.plugin.tweets.attachments.svg token: NOT_NEEDED base: "" plugin_tweets: yes plugin_tweets_token: ${{ secrets.TWITTER_TOKEN }} plugin_tweets_attachments: yes plugin_tweets_user: github plugin_tweets_limit: 1 ```
