Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Verify twitter with ASP.NET
Well I guess you have not provided enough details about what your app is expected to do. ;-} -- robbie -- 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
Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Verify twitter with ASP.NET
If I understand correctly what you suggested, it's still something the users can fake. A user can say @aplusk (Ashton Kutcher) is his username and that's fake.

[twitter-dev] Re: Verify twitter with ASP.NET
I know that I can just ask them, but I don't want users to start giving fake aliases and I want it to be verified and up to date. All I want is just verify them using a twitter app and get their user id/name. Let's say I'm creating a twitter app. What should I do next? How the authorization works? On Dec 10, 6:08 pm, Taylor Singletary taylorsinglet...@twitter.com wrote: It depends on how deep you want your integration to be. If you simply want to keep track of the Twitter user's screen name on your site, you can simply ask for it -- no need for an API integration. If you just want to add some simple Twitter functionality to your site, you might want to look at @Anywherehttp://dev.twitter.com/anywhere/begin-- you can integrate Twitter with your site using mostly just Javascript and HTML. By using callbacks, you can store the screen name and user id after authorization occurs. If you want deeper integration recommendations, please specify a bit more on what you'd like users to do with a Twitter integration in your app. Taylor On Fri, Dec 10, 2010 at 7:53 AM, Chief chie...@gmail.com wrote: I have a web app written in ASP.NET (C#, in this case).

[twitter-dev] Re: Verify twitter with ASP.NET
You can use the users/show endpoint and pass the screen_name param for what your user submits.

[twitter-dev] Re: Verify twitter with ASP.NET
First of all, thank you both for responding on my question. I thought doing something like this: Asking the user to allow my twitter app gain access to their account. After that, redirect the user to a page where I'll get his username using Twitter API. Then, redirect him back to my site after I've put his username in my user database. What do you think about that? Is it possible at all? -- 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
