Our application never has to make API requests on behalf of the end- user. We don't even call API methods that require authentication. That's why we haven't implemented OAuth.
However, we did make the requests on behalf of a white-listed account using Basic Authentication, to benefit from the 20,000 calls/hour rate limit. If we were to use the single access token-approach, we'll have to register an application first in order to generate the access token. Will this application or access token be white-listed automatically if the application is registered using the white-listed account? -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk?hl=en
