How to setup for your Twitter
Just fill in your API keys which you'll need to apply for a Twitter developer account. It usually get's approved within 5 minutes.
const TWITTER_HANDLE = 'Deveshb15'
const twitterClient = new client.TwitterClient({
apiKey: "YOUR CONSUMER API KEY"
apiSecret: "YOUR CONSUMER API SECRET"
accessToken: "YOUR ACCESS TOKEN"
accessTokenSecret: "YOUR ACCESS TOKEN SECRET"
});
Lastly, change the default banner 1500x500.png. Make sure it's a png (as in the mimetype, not just the file extension).
