To create a twitter application, go to https://apps.twitter.com/

For this please click on the “Apply for the developer account” and continue the process.

One the developer account is approved, please go to the twitter apps page and enter the details.

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.
