### RapidAPI key

[](#rapidapi-key)

Our API is served via [RapidAPI](//rapidapi.com). You must sign up for a free account in order to obtain a RapidAPI secret key. The easiest way to get your secret key is to visit [our API endpoint page](https://rapidapi.com/OSoMe/api/botometer-pro/endpoints)and look in the endpoint's header parametsrs for the "X-RapidAPI-Key" as shown below:

[![Screenshot of RapidAPI header parameters](/docs/rapidapi_key.png)](/docs/rapidapi_key.png)

### Twitter app

[](#twitter-app)

In order to access Twitter's API, one needs to have/create a [Twitter app](https://apps.twitter.com/). Once you've created an app, the authentication info can be found in the "Keys and Access Tokens" tab of the app's properties: [![Screenshot of app "Keys and Access Tokens"](/docs/twitter_app_keys.png)](/docs/twitter_app_keys.png)

Authentication
--------------

[](#authentication)

By default, Botometer uses **user authentication** when interacting with Twitter's API as it is the least restrictive and the ratelimit matches with Botometer's **Pro** plan: 180 requests per 15-minute window. One can instead use Twitter's **application authentication** in order to take advantage of the higher ratelimit that matches our **Ultra** plan: 450 requests per 15-minute window. Do note the differences between user and app-only authentication found under the header "Twitter API Authentication Model" in [Twitter's docs on authentication](https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/basics/authentication/overview/oauth).
