If either of the command line flags are not present, the environment variables TWEETUSERNAME and TWEETPASSWORD will then be checked for your consumer_key or consumer_secret, respectively.
- If neither the command line flags nor the environment variables are present, the .tweetrc file, if it exists, can be used to set the default consumer_key and consumer_secret. The file should contain the following three lines, replacing *consumer_key* with your consumer key, and *consumer_secret* with your consumer secret:
- A skeletal .tweetrc file:
-
[Tweet]
consumer_key: *consumer_key*
consumer_secret: *consumer_password*
access_key: *access_key*
access_secret: *access_password*
