Save the file and upload to your web host (or copy it to the www folder of a locally running Apache server) and open it in your browser. Then, download and extract the zip with the demo, open proxy.php and copy over the required keys from the application page that you just created. Important: If you only want to set up this widget on your site and you don't want to follow the tutorial, follow the steps above and create the twitter application. This will give you access tokens, client secrets and other keys, that you have to enter in proxy.php in the last step of the tutorial, for the demo to work. This is required by some of the API endpoints. This will allow the app to read data from your account as if it was you (read only). On the application page, click the 'Create my access token'.

In order to use twitter's newer, v1.1 API, we will have to use a PHP proxy script, that will communicate with the API securely for us. It will show your or your friends' latest tweets. In this tutorial we are going to create a jQuery, CSS & PHP twitter ticker which utilizes Twitter's Search API.
