What is consumer_key and consumer_secret being use in tweepy?

I can't even find any clue about it in Twitter Developer dashboard, I look at the API key and the only word use there 'api_key', 'api_key_secret', 'access_token', 'access_token_secret', 'bearer_token', 'client_id' and 'client_secret'.

Anyone please explain this

I googled for that specific term but there's NONE exact word like that. Can I know what is 'consumer_key' and 'consumer_secret' being use here as tweepy API reference?

I even tried to use client_id and client_secret as replacement for consumer_key and consumer_secret, but still got error 'cannot authenticate'

Solution

  • I didn't use tweepy but considering that these are auth1.0 names it should be as follows: consumer_key: the same as api_key
    consumer_secret: the same as api_key_secret
