<p>Both APIs are REST based.</p>

<p>LinkedIn API</p>

<p>You can either use a scripted data source / data set. Or use an ODA that has been developed by the community. There are at least two Twitter ODAs that I am aware of:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Twitter ODA (from <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='
https://github.com/MApps-Actuate/TwitterDashboard)'>https://github.com/MApps-Actuate/TwitterDashboard)</a></p>
;
<p>-- UI ODA .jar @ <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='
https://github.com/MApps-Actuate/TwitterDashboard/blob/master/com.actuate.birt.labs.data.oda.twitter.ui_1.1.0.v20130805.jar'>https://github.com/MApps-Actuate/TwitterDashboard/blob/master/com.actuate.birt.labs.data.oda.twitter.ui_1.1.0.v20130805.jar</a></p>

<p>-- ODA .jar @ <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='

<p> You will need to get your own Twitter API key credentials for the above ODA.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Another ODA (on DevShare)</p>

<p>I have used the first ODA up to the latest commercial BIRT version, iHub 16, and it should work in OS BIRT too.</p>

<p>You'll need to get the Twitter API credentials from the Twitter Developer site after signing up and creating an app.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This site has detailed steps (<a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='

<p>Hi Clement,</p>
<p> </p>
<p> My main focus is to getting data only.When i get into the page,it asks application name,website URL.I dont know to how to fill it.Please guide me.Thanks in advance.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>Emy</p>

<p>Sorry, but it should be straight forward as to what the Twitter Developer API sign up page is asking. For application name, do you have a project name for example? For URL, do you have a URL for your app? If not, you should be able to just use your company's URL.</p>
