Hi Alex, First thing that I see wrong here is that the oauth_token you are specified doesn't look like an access token that we serve. Our access tokens tend to begin with an integer (your user id), followed by a dash, and then semi-random characters. You might be using your oauth_token_secret as

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

I am brand new at this twitter api thing. When I try this example from the docs, well, first, I was surprised that it asked for my username and password. I thought this should work with just the url, but it wanted me to sign in to the api? Should I just be using my twitter credentials for that?

Hashtags are transitive, don't belong to any person, organization, or concept. There's really no way to determine all possible hashtags that have ever been tweeted. If you narrow your problem to the hashtags that you'd like to use, you could use the Search API (or a 3rd party social media

In order for you to make OAuth-less api calls, the end point must not require auth (which this one does not), and you need a different base URL. Instead of the http://api.twitter.com/1 as the base URL, try using http://twitter.com Like this:

So where can I find a list of existing hash tags?  Doesn't seem to be anything in the API specifically for identifying them.  Thanks. .. with the Search API, you'd be bound to about a week's worth of data. Some sites archive hashtags so you may probably be able to query older hashtag data.
