For your own twitter account, you can obtain consumer key and access token for ADAMS (= application trying to access twitter) here:

    as it is.
 

-stop-flow-on-error (property: stopFlowOnError)
    If set to true, the flow gets stopped in case this actor encounters an error;
     useful for critical actors.
