Q: How do I get "from myApp" to display on Twitter.com instead of "from API"? I set the source parameter but it has no effect. A: Register your application as an OAuth-base app and set the name there. Use of the source parameter as a means of identifying applications with Basic Auth has been deprecated for quite some time now. Q: I want to have a custom source parameter and use Basic Auth. Is this possible? A: No. -damon http://twitter.com/damon
[twitter-dev] Re: set the from [Application]
You do not need to be whitelisted to use OAuth or to have a source parameter. In order to have custom source register an OAuth application here: https://twitter.com/oauth_clients/new. If you are properly signing the updates with OAuth and *not* with BasicAuth then the from will automatically be used. If or some reason it the source still shows as "from API" open a support issue: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/entry or email a...@twitter.com Abraham On Mon, Aug 3, 2009 at 08:58, Vincent Nguyen wrote: > Here is the things i do (& success): > > 1.Apply whilelist > 2.Using OAuth > > I guess you need apply whilelist first then use Oatuh and you can set FROM > from API > > 2009/8/3 Duane Roelands > > >> If you're developing a new application, you -must- use OAuth if you >> want the "From" line to display your application's name. >> >> It used to work for Basic Auth, but Twitter disabled that. >> Applications that had been working when they disabled it were >> "grandfathered in", but apps created after that point must use OAuth >> to have access to this feature. >> >> On Aug 3, 6:47 am, Sam Street wrote: >> > I've had this difficulty too, with the 'source' parameter being >> > ignored. >> > I recommend using OAuth which handles it all fine.

Here is the things i do (& success): 1.Apply whilelist 2.Using OAuth I guess you need apply whilelist first then use Oatuh and you can set FROM from API 2009/8/3 Duane Roelands > > If you're developing a new application, you -must- use OAuth if you > want the "From" line to display your application's name. > > It used to work for Basic Auth, but Twitter disabled that. > Applications that had been working when they disabled it were > "grandfathered in", but apps created after that point must use OAuth > to have access to this feature. > > On Aug 3, 6:47 am, Sam Street wrote: > > I've had this difficulty too, with the 'source' parameter being > > ignored. > > I recommend using OAuth which handles it all fine.

[twitter-dev] Re: set the from [Application]
If you're developing a new application, you -must- use OAuth if you want the "From" line to display your application's name. It used to work for Basic Auth, but Twitter disabled that. Applications that had been working when they disabled it were "grandfathered in", but apps created after that point must use OAuth to have access to this feature.

[twitter-dev] Re: set the from [Application]
I've had this difficulty too, with the 'source' parameter being ignored. I recommend using OAuth which handles it all fine.

[twitter-dev] Re: set the from [Application]
I thought for new applications the only way was via oAuth, and then the source is taken automatically because of your access token.
