Hi,

1) Create an APP in Twitter. 
2) Provide callback url in Twitter where twitter will send a code for authentication.(https://Your instance/apex/TwitterPage)
3) After creating a App in Twitter you will get Client Key and Secreat Key which will be used in Salesforce to send a reqest to twitter for authentication.
4) In salesforce you need to provide api end point of twitter in Remote Site setting first.
5) Now you need create a page in salesforce. Apex PAge -> TwitterPage 
<apex:page controller="TwitterController">  
<apex:form>  
    <apex:pageblock>  
        <apex:commandbutton action="{!TwitterAuth}" value="Twitter Authentication">  
    </apex:commandbutton></apex:pageblock>  
</apex:form>  
</apex:page>
  
public class TwitterController  
{  
    //Fetched from URL  
    String code ;  
      
    public TwitterController ()  
    {  
        code = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('code') ;  
        //Get the access token once we have code  
        if(code != '' && code != null)  
        {  
            AccessToken() ;  
        }  
    }  
      
    public PageReference TwitterAuth()  
    {  
        //Authenticating  
        PageReference pg = new PageReference('https:// Please_PUT HERE TwitterAuthorizeURL ?response_type=code&client_id=Put client id&redirect_uri=YOUR CALL BACK URL') ;  
        return pg ;  
    }  
      
    public void AccessToken()  
    {  
        //Getting access token from dropbox  
        String tokenuri = 'https://PLEASE PRovide api hit url of twitter?grant_type=authorization_code&code='+code+'&redirect_uri=YOUR CALL BACK URL';   
        HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();  
        req.setEndpoint(tokenuri);  
        req.setMethod('POST');  
        req.setTimeout(60*1000);  
            
        Blob headerValue = Blob.valueOf('vaabb5qz4jv28t5' + ':' + 'dpmmll522bep6pt');  
        String authorizationHeader = 'BASIC ' + EncodingUtil.base64Encode(headerValue);  
        req.setHeader('Authorization', authorizationHeader);  
        Http h = new Http();  
        String resp;  
        HttpResponse res = h.send(req);  
        resp = res.getBody();  
          
        System.debug(' You can parse the response to get the access token ::: ' + resp);  
   }  
}

You need to go throught the Articals and then need to implement.

Hi  Ashlekh,

I also wanted to integrate twitter with salesforce.And i was trying the above code.
however i was not able to do that .Please guide me and let me know where i am wrong?

Here is the code.
public class TwitterController1  
{  
     //Fetched from URL  
    String code ;  
      
    public TwitterController1 ()  
    {  
        code = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('code') ;  
        //Get the access token once we have code  
        if(code != '' && code != null)  
        {  
            AccessToken() ;  
        }  
    }  
      
    public PageReference TwitterAuth()  
    {  
        //Authenticating  
        PageReference pg = new PageReference('https://api.twitter.com/oauth2/token?response_type=code&client_id=eGUoMQPlhp96GVRotc2URnkVn&redirect_uri=https://c.ap2.visual.force.com/apex/TwitterController') ;  
        return pg ;  
    }  
      
    public void AccessToken()  
    {  
        //Getting access token from dropbox  
        String tokenuri = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/mentions_timeline.json?grant_type=authorization_code&code='+code+'&redirect_uri=https://c.ap2.visual.force.com/apex/TwitterController';   
        HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();  
        req.setEndpoint(tokenuri);  
        req.setMethod('POST');  
        req.setTimeout(60*1000);  
            
        Blob headerValue = Blob.valueOf('eGUoMQPlhp96GVRotc2URnkVn' + ':' + 'CBhyr5OvzpyXLpvmge2DhaHH6VoDF9ix1b5RF6rWB2nGPV2P3X');  
        String authorizationHeader = 'BASIC ' + EncodingUtil.base64Encode(headerValue);  
        req.setHeader('Authorization', authorizationHeader);  
        Http h = new Http();  
        String resp;  
        HttpResponse res = h.send(req);  
        resp = res.getBody();  
          
        System.debug(' You can parse the response to get the access token ::: ' + resp);  
   }  
}

i replaced all the values but it got stuck while authenticating.Am making any mistake.Please let me know.



Thanks
