Enter the twitter username. In the “Create an application” page, enter the application name, application description, your website URL and continue with the terms and condition and captcha and click the “Create your Twitter application” button.
After that go to the Keys and Access Token tab (Old name — API Keys) and click on the “Create My Access Token” link. Now you can see the API Key, API Secret, Access Token and Access Token Secret in the API Keys tab. Copy this details to Larasap config file.

After creating your Facebook app in Dashboard you can see your app details. Add this details to your Larasap config file.
Next up, you’re going to need to get a non-expiring Access Token for your page. Firstly, visit the Facebook Graph API Explorer page. You’ll see an ‘Application’ button in the top right as shown below:

As you can see, currently this is set to ‘Graph API Explorer’. Select your Facebook App instead. Now click the ‘get token’ button which you can also see in the image above. Select ‘Get User Access Token’ and make sure the publish_pages, manage_pages and publish_actions permissions are ticked, then click the ‘Get Access Token’ button. Now click the ‘get token’ button again and select your Facebook page. You now have your Access Token which we need to convert into the non-expiring Access Token. To do so, pass your App ID, App Secret, and Access Token into the following URL:
