iOS twitter API single User oAuth

Question

I'm looking to make the move from twitter 1 api to 1.1 and I understand the need to use oAuth to authenticate my requests.

All my app does at present is retrieve a set user's time line and displays that to the app user.

I dont want the user to have to sign in to twitter to view the user's timeline. The usage-restrictions are not an issue (15 per 15 minutes)

Can someone explain to me where to go from here, I want to keep my deployment target at 4.3 and not having much look finding documentation on twitter iOS single User OAUTH.

Thanks,

Answer 1

After creating the app ID at dev.twitter.com , in the "details" tab there will be a place to create a single user token. Use this in place of the user's token and token secret.

I recommend only doing this on a read-only access level.

I managed to resolve this using 'ABOAuthCore' library available on Github.. This created the relevant header value for me and was used as such:

NSString *authorizationHeader = OAuthorizationHeader(newsURL,
                                                     @"GET",
                                                     postBody,
                                                    KConsumerKey, 
                                                     KConsumerSecret,
                                                     KAccessToken, 
                                                     KAccessTokenSecret); 

[request setValue:authorizationHeader forHTTPHeaderField:@"Authorization"];
