Using Twitter OAuth to post updates automatically

Question

Here's my scenario.

I have a web site, which automatically posts updates to Twitter using cURL at the moment.

But I hear Twitter is going to turn this feature off and move to OAuth.

I tried implementing OAuth in my site, but the user actually has to manually authenticate before being able to post anything to twitter.

How can I use OAuth and still let my website post updates automatically, without me having to manually click on "authenticate"?

Answer 1

You can post updates automatically with OAuth. The token does not expire automatically, so you can store it in the database and use it repeatedly later.

Answer 2

If you are planning on using a single Twitter account have a look at this page: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/oauth_single_token
