Posting tweets using API secrets for own app eg "via <myApp>"

Question

Hey Guys

I originally used this tutorial - http://icodeblog.com/2009/07/09/integrating-twitter-into-your-applications/ to put twitter into my app. It works great, however, the tweets say 'via API' - I don't want this. I'd like it to say 'via myApp' - (I have registered my app with Twitter and have the secrets etc.

If you've done this, or know of anything that could help, please let me know.

Cheers

Answer 1

To get your tweets saying 'via myApp', you need your app to authenticate with Twitter using OAuth or xAuth, which the tutorial you've been using does not cover.

OAuth/xAuth are being required for all Twitter apps by the end of next month, so you'll need to find a more updated tutorial.
