Hi Thomas,
There are a few ways you retrieve this information. When you are on the
final leg of your OAuth transaction (exchanging a request token for an
access token), part of the response that you get back includes the user id
and screen name for the authenticating user:
oauth_token=819797-Jxq8aYUDRmykzVKrgoLhXSq67TEa5ruc4GJC2rWimwoauth_token_secret=J6zix3FfA9LofH0awS24M3HcBYXO5nI1iYe8EfBAuser_id=819797screen_name=episod
(Notice both screen_name and user_id keys)
You can also make an OAuth authenticated call to
http://api.twitter.com/1/account/verify_credentials.xml and receive the
information you're looking for back in either XML or JSON format.

Hi all,
I have created a Twitter app using oAuth for authentication.
However, I cannot find any info on how I can retrieve the user's
username in order to get his details. By user, I mean the one that
granted my app permission and for whom the app is making the API calls
Thank you
