Basic Auth has been deprecated.

Attention! August 31, 2010 Basic Auth has been deprecated. All applications must now use OAuth. Read more »   x

Don't fret! @twitterapi is here to help! Feel free to reach out to us directly, or via our Twitter Development Talk group.

The switch to OAuth is a good thing! You, as the application developer,

  • don't have the burden of keeping potentially damaging credentials for your users (especially considering that a lot of people use the same password for multiple services);
  • don't have to worry about the user changing their password — a user can change his or her password and the OAuth "connection" to your app will still work;
  • don't have to worry about other applications masquerading as your application as only your application can set the byline with your application name;
  • will eventually have access to more trusted APIs from Twitter that will only be available to "trusted" OAuth-enabled applications; and
  • will be contributing to the web of trust between users, service providers, and applications.

  • include_entities When set to either true, t or 1, each tweet will include a node called "entities,".
