[twitter-dev] Re: Cron Jobs w/ twitter auth

2010-08-31 Thread Mahmoud Sakr
Thanks a lot, I was able to port my auth successfully using the second
link.

Just a heads up for anyone interested - this mechanism was described
here in depth: 
http://masnun.com/blog/2010/04/30/setting-up-twitter-bots-with-oauth/
(turns out my twitter account is called a twitter bot.) Also, the
application I had to create from the same twitter bot's account (the
access token given in the app belongs to the actual developer account
in charge of the app) - wasted a considerable amount of time before
figuring that out.
