Hi Everyone, Before the auth migration, I had a server-side application which using Twitter username and password along with Zend Framework (Zend_Service_Twitter) made checking one's follower list very simple. This process was run autonomously, without client intervention, at a regular interval.
More importantly, I would store a few sets of usernames and passwords and run these for each of the former. With the advent of OAuth, I've dug up all the documentation I could find to discover that (please correct if wrong): 1. I had to register an application 2. I had to get this application's consumerKey and consumerSecret 3. Using the above I generated a "request token" 3. I had to use this "request token" to authorize the application from within a browser session through a set of steps 4. This redirects me to a callback where I can capture and store an "access token". I've done all this pretty simply [kind of a pain that I have to do it for each username that I need, but w/e -- I just need it working right now]. I've tried using this access token to perform basic queries, but I always get a "Could not authorize you". Bummer. Digging further, I've found that there exists a "single access token". This apparently lets me perform queries against the API using an app that I've registered [I've gotten this to work insofar as I can successfully complete a query]. Great. Do I however, have to now register an app for each and every user I want to use in order to use this method? As you can tell, there's a degree of confusion here. If anyone can point me in the right direction, it'd be much appreciated. -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk
