Help / FAQ / Basics / How do I login to your.flowingdata?

You need a Twitter account to use your.flowingdata. Assuming you have one, click on the "sign in with Twitter" button in the top right of the screen. If you're not signed in to Twitter already, Twitter will ask for your credentials. When you sign in, you'll be taken to your.flowingdata.

In case you're unfamiliar with this login process, your.flowingdata uses OAuth, which is a well-established protocol to allow secure API authorization. Basically, it lets you login to a third-party application with credentials from the API provider without actually giving your login information to the application. You can read more about OAuth here.
