NAME

Net::Twitter::OAuth::Simple - A Twitter specific subclass of Net::OAuth::Simple

DESCRIPTION

This is a simple sub-class of Net::OAuth::Simple providing an overridden request_access_token method which accepts an option PIN number parameter for use in Twitter desktop applications.

METHODS

new

Accepts the same arguments as Net::OAuth::Simple with an additional, optional, useragent argument. If provided, the useragent should be a LWP::UserAgent or LWP::UserAgent derived class. If not provided, an LWP::UserAgent instance will be created.

request_access_token [PIN]

Request the access token and access token secret for this user.

The user must have authorized this app at the url given by get_authorization_url first.

For desktop applications, the Twitter authorization page will present the user with a PIN number. Prompt the user for the PIN number, and pass it as an argument to request_access_token.

Returns the access token and access token secret but also sets them internally so that after calling this method, you can immediately call API methods requiring authentication.
