"Generating your API key" needs to be updated

[nancym]

Twitter disabled their old user interface on 2020-June-1 so I'm in search of a new way to use Twitter and I'm optimistic about Oysttyer so thank you for this! I'm going through http://oysttyer.github.io/docs/userGuide.html#apikey and have some feedback and questions.

• For Website, it says Please use “http://oysttyer.github.io/” but I wonder if this should be https rather than http?
• For Callback URL, it says (leave blank) but on https://developer.twitter.com/en/apps/create, it says Callback URLs (required) -- what should I put in this field?

Thank you!

It should. I'll fix that.

It's only required if you use the sign in with Twitter option, which you don't need. Uncheck that boc and it should work.

Full disclosure, though: I'm still using Oysttyer, but I haven't done any development in...a few years at this point. 😔

This documentation seriously needs to be thrown out and rewritten. It doesn't reflect ANY of the new "apply to be a developer" stuff. Nothing in your docs is where you say it is on the website, nothing is called the same thing.

WELCOME TO oysttyer: Authorize oysttyer by signing into Twitter with OAuth

When I try that, I get:
Request from https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token ...... FAILED!: "{"errors":[{"code":32,"message":"Could not authenticate you."}]}"
unable to fetch token. here are some possible reasons:

• root certificates are not updated (see documentation)
• you entered your authentication information wrong
• your computer's clock is not set correctly
• Twitter farted
  fix these possible problems, or try again later.

You can't tell me to "see documentation" in an error message for root certificates when the user guide doesn't contain the word "root" or the word "cert".

I tried using the API key and API key secret, and I tried using the Access Token and Access Token Secret. Neither of those worked, both giving the above error. I have regenerated the Access token/secret and the API keys multiple times. Is the Bearer Token supposed to be given somewhere? Basically I have 5 separate codes, and your docs only tell me to give 2 of them (oauthkey and oauthsecret).

My system is using ntp, and has the correct time and timezone.
