Re: [twitter-dev] Get screen name with OAuth

2009-11-20 Thread ryan alford
In the query string of the returned response, there is a field called "screen_name". That will contain the screen name of the user that authorized the application. So when you get "oauth_token" and "oauth_token_secret" from the response, get "screen_name" also. Ryan On Fri, Nov 20, 2009 at 10:5

I never knew that asking questions would be considered "whining". Twitter has never officially stated that OAuth is in "production" like they announce other features (like Lists). Now they seem to be telling developers to start moving to OAuth. You state to "don't" use it. It doesn't look like

Twitter is going to be making changes to OAuth to where the user can give you their credentials, and you can use those to get an Access Token. This is an option to bypass the "PIN" workflow. On Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 10:03 AM, Fauzil Hamdi wrote: > some body please > > 2009/12/10 Fauzil Hamdi >
