# Twitter API keys

This article describes how you can obtain a Twitter API key for your AppMachine app. This key allows you to make authorized requests for data. An API key can only be used for one app. \
\
In this tutorial we assume that you either have a basic Twitter account without access to the development environment, or no Twitter account at all.
