I noted that the screen name (and user id) are returned along with the Access token and secret.
It this a documented feature that I can rely upon? The only related thread that I found on this topic was: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/8b24ab7dbb326d5f/10e6b73bd9fdce69 That thread was apparently referring to the callback after authorization and why screen_name and user_id were removed for security reasons. Matt mentioned that the verify_credentials method was the solution in that case. If I have the screen_name available with the Access token/secret, I don't see a need for calling verify_credentials at all in the process. I don't really need the screen name until after I exchange my request token for an access token. Can I rely on getting the screen_name this way? Am I missing another reason for needing to call verify_credentials? Thanks, - Scott Carter @scott_carter http://bigtweet.com
