Answer

App settings -> User authentication Settings -> Edit.

Enable OAuth 1.0A ->

  • App permissions Read and Write
  • Callback URL can be set to something like http://localhost if you are not going to implement sign-in for other users
  • Website URL set to something valid like your blog ideally, or use http://example.com if you must -> Save

App Keys & Tokens -> Authentication tokens Regenerate Access Token and Secret

This will grant read and write permission to the app for the account that owns the app. It will not let any the app write to any other account.
