I've encountered a strange problem where sometimes verify_credentials
gives me the wrong user id. In these cases the number is usually very
large and is different each time. All the other user details are
correct. How can this be?
Thanks Vincent! I've applied to be on the whitelist.
So it seems the only scalable solution is to cache the data and update
once a day using verify_credentials. Thoughts?
I've got an OAuth site that lets people register through Twitter to
create a profile and post to my site. When you see comments or posts
by these users I show their Twitter profile information and have been
retrieving it with users/show. The problem is that I can only show
this information 150 t
Jim,
What you're suggesting is basically what they offer with OAuth. Apps
are given a token to represent logins and a secret key to represent
passwords for their authenticated users. Both are very long and
impossible to guess. This mechanism works very well and basically
corrects all the issue
