[twitter-dev] Moving from white-listed account to single access token

2010-09-01 Thread Niels van der Rest
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?

Hi Taylor,

Thanks for your quick reply, that's everything I needed to know!

 Hi Niels,

 Our whitelisting system still operates almost exclusively on IP address and
 accounts -- not applications. So yes, once you move to using OAuth for
 your account, it will be given the same whitelisted limits. You can more
 quickly implement your single access token example by making use of the my
 access token feature on dev.twitter.com that will provide the access token
 for the user who owns the application without having to bother with the
 entire OAuth request cycle.
