[twitter-dev] Re: oAuth and applications that run in the background

2010-09-08 Thread marvMcK
Abraham, thanks for the link. Just to be clear: I am assuming that
CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET are specific to one application, but I
can use them with ANY application, or do I have to register each
application (in this case PHP script), and use the keys specific to
it?

[twitter-dev] oAuth and applications that run in the background

2010-09-08 Thread marvMcK
I have an application (PHP script), that runs as a CRON job on a Linux
server. It uses cURL and basic authentication to retrieve users
profiles and statuses.

Now that basic authentication is no longer supported, I need to switch
to oAuth, but with oAuth, there's a level of interactivity with
Twitter, to login. This is not an option for this script, since it has
no user interface.

Any ideas how to proceed?
