Sinatra Twitter OAuth Sample

This is a sample Sinatra application that shows how to use Twitter's OAuth authentication and authorisation mechanism

It needs "bundler" to work properly.

Usage

First, install dependencies:

bundle

Inside server.rb, replace CONSUMER_KEY and CONSUMER_SECRET with the real ones from your Twitter application. Also, make sure to use the real CALLBACK_URL with your hostname and port.

CONSUMER_KEY="consumer-key-from-twitter"
CONSUMER_SECRET="consumer-secret-from-twitter"
CALLBACK_URL="http://your-server-name.com/oauth/callback"

Then, run the server:

ruby server.rb

And finally, go to http://localhost:4567/oauth/request_token (replace "localhost" with your actual hostname), copy & go to the displayed Twitter's URL.

The user's screen_name and access_token will be displayed after authorising your application.
