I'm not completely sure what you want, but you could do something like this: - Obtain a request token and secret. - Start up a browser and send the user to http://twitter.com/oauth/authorize - Display a button that says something like "click here when you're done" - When the user clicks that button, assume that you're authorized with Twitter, and make a request to obtain the access token. - If that's not the case, repeat the process. The point is that you don't really need any information back through the callback other than the fact that the user has completed the authorization process. But that can be accomplished simply by having the user click a button. If you are able to register URI schemes in the operating system that will launch your app, there is a different way of doing this. Suppose you've registered mycoolapp:// with the operating system. Then you can supply an oauth_callback parameter to http://twitter.com/oauth/authorize that looks something like this: mycoolapp://twitter-authorize-complete After successful authorization, Twitter will then redirect to something like mycoolapp://twitter-authorize-complete?oauth_token=xxx&screen_name=guan&user_id=1234&other_params=values That way your app will automatically be launched after authorization and you can call access_token at that point.
