Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to check if a user still allows
my application to access his twitter account.
We are building an application that will post tweets on the user's
account and read new tweets from his account.
Therefore i would like to check if the user hasn't revoked
I'd have thought calling verify_credentials would do it - you'll get a 401
and a specific error message to tell you that the key is no longer valid.
Alternatively, why not try to perform your actions (like posting a tweet or
retrieving tweets) and if they return a 401, use that to indicate that
Tom is correct. The easiest way to check if your application is still
allowed by the user is to call verify_credentials. This is a read-only call
without any parameters which will return 200 OK if you are allowed access
and 401 if you are not.
Best,
Matt
