You’ll use the Twitter gem to interface with Twitter.[65] You’re also going to need the VCR and Webmock gems in the test environment.[66] [67] Add them to the Gemfile:
| | gem 'twitter' |
| | gem 'vcr', group: :test |
| | gem 'webmock', group: :test |
You’ll also have to reinstall the bundle with bundle install.
You need a Twitter API key and a secret key, which you can get from the Twitter Application Management page.[68] In Rails 5, those get placed in the secrets.yml file, which typically is not stored in your code repository, though I’ve put it in the sample code for ease of setup:
| | shared: |
| | api_key: 123 |
| | |
| | development: |
| | secret_key_base: 1fe3edb870eff077105cff3ed19f0bdf15a5f999ef09ba1043a4916 ... |
