I'll see if there's anything we can do about offering a give me /my/ access yes, please let us know. That is why I wrote this qyuestion. I think this option should be somewhere within 'my account' settings on Twitter On Apr 26, 6:17 pm, Taylor Singletary taylorsinglet...@twitter.com wrote: Obtaining a single access token for your application without necessarily implementing the entire OAuth dance shouldn't be too difficult -- there are many OAuth libraries that include command-line tools to acquire access tokens in this way. You could also use Twurl (http://github.com/marcel/twurl). My OAuth Dancer (http://bit.ly/oauth-dancer) tool also lets you do this through a server interface your run on your own machine. I don't recommend sharing your consumer key or secret to any third-party website to acquire this information, but using a tool locally on your own machine is likely the best method. I'll see if there's anything we can do about offering a give me /my/ access token access token secret for my application feature on dev.twitter.comto help with this. It'd then be as simple as porting those two pieces of information into whatever database, configuration file, or otherwise you would use to store the access token and access token secret. As with any of these kind of keys though, it wouldn't be appropriate to distribute access tokens of any kind with your software -- whether on github, in a desktop application, or in plaintext in a Javascript file.

A bit messy though - need to change the requesting app's callback URL - but it's doable. Is someone already doing this? Would that violate ToS? Just FYI, I am working on a similar concept.

[twitter-dev] one application authentication
For the upcoming basic auth shutdown: What if I have own application that requests data from my own twitter account. What is an easiest way for the authentication in this case? It is the only one application that works with this account. And it works with this account only. Is it still OAuth? -- Subscription settings: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/subscribe?hl=en
[twitter-dev] Re: one application authentication
There are a number of REST API calls that don't require authentication yes, I know :-) Application uses DM - so it must be authenticated. But yes, if you do authenticate, use oAuth. it looks curiously - confirm my password usage to myself :-) That is why I'am asking. On Apr 25, 9:51 pm, M.

There are a number of REST API calls that don't require authentication at all! For example, you can get the list of friends, list of followers and 16 pages of up to 200 tweets from any non-protected user, including yourself, without authenticating. The only advantage to authentication here is that you get the higher oAuth rate limit instead of the default 150 calls per hour, and the rate limit is assessed per account and not per IP address. But yes, if you do authenticate, use oAuth. -- M.

[twitter-dev] Re: user+password
and how to read list memebers (just id's) without credential? How to read list names for the particularly user without credential? Twitter API (draft for lists) requires authentication here. E.g. with this draft JSONP for lists is practically useless - how to pass username/password there without exposing them clearly in the javascript code.

I just used this API method without credentials. http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/[InsertScreenNameHere].xml No credentials needed. Some API methods do required you to be authenticated, but some do not. You can view the methods athttp://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-API-Documentation and it will tell you if you have to be authenticated to do the method.

[twitter-dev] friends/ids returns 400 Bad request
requests for friends/ids return 400 Bad request via API (through Yahoo Pipe). The same request for .xml data right from browser returns correct data. E.g.: http://www.twitter.com/friends/ids/abava.xml - always work from browser and the same request does not work via API (through Yahoo pipe) We've started to see that problem maybe several hours ago. Before that (the previous week) it was Ok.

I don't believe there's a setting in Twitter itself that is causing the issue...but perhaps I'm wrong. Any help/assistance would be most welcome and appreciated. Thanks in advance.
