Is there a good resource for doing it now? Twitter’s switch to OAuth fucked me.
curl -u user:pass -d status="status update"
was so easy.
The basics:
Script is processing feed data and taking select rows and posting those to twitter.
Triggered off a cron so I need to do it with no user interaction.
I (obviously) have the user/pass for the twitter account.
Looks like Twitter’s recommended option is PIN code auth but how long will that code persist? I can’t be worrying about updating my scripts every week with a new PIN code.
Why not just use Oauth? Reverse engineer a WordPress plug-in.
*shrug* Maybe I’m misunderstanding the requirement of being redirected to Twitter for the login process and the ability to handle that without user interaction.
