Hi Yannik, sorry for late answering...
just go on http://developer.twitter.com and register an application. After that you get the CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET, TOKEN_URL and ACCESS_TOKEN_URL from twitter. define those variables in a file called twitter_oauth_data.py in modules dir under your application and keep the file *secret*. After that any user that authenticates with the application will be redirected to twitter and twitter will let your application act on behalf of the user. You do not have to ask any secret from the user! For more info on how twitter authenticates see http://oauth.net michele 2010/9/5 Yannick <[email protected]>: > Hello Thanks for the note. > I was using the Simple Authentication on my application to send > tweets.
