Hi ImNick,

First you need to create a new application in Twitter.
After you create the app you will be provided with the following information:
--Consumer Key (API Key)
--Consumer Secret (API Secret)
For making a callout with Twitter, we have to use the above values. We have to authenticate the user and get the necessary token.
Step 1: Retrieve request token and token secret by sending a POST HTTP request to this endpoint:
https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token
The authorization header should contain parameters like: nonce, callback url, signature, timestamp, signature method. You can find the format here: https://dev.twitter.com/oauth/reference/post/oauth/request_token
https://gist.github.com/5667c281bb14ea83ddf2.gitCreate a base string using the following function so that you can generate the Twitter signature:
https://gist.github.com/8f8dd6c1674668fc2f04.git
To retrieve the token since Twitter is returning the token in urlencoded form.
https://gist.github.com/0fb0f45699797fc77560.git
Now that you have the request token, you need to authenticate the user using the request token. When the user authenticates the application, you will be redirected to the page specified in the call back url. You can find more details here: https://dev.twitter.com/oauth/reference/get/oauth/authenticate
Retrieve the verifier and the verifier token from the url.
https://gist.github.com/fb3a2cb7fd73cd2f695a.git
Now that you have the verifier code, you can finally get the access token by passing a POST HTTP request to this end point just like we did to obtain a request token:
https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token
The response will contain the screen name from which you can get the user details of the Twitter user.

I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.
