#Twitter Application-only Authentication (OAuth) using Python Provides a set of functions to allow authentication via Twitter's Application-only authentication protocol. Methods include the following:

• getting bearer token
• invalidating bearer token
• simple search function

If you wish to use this script you will have to have registered your application with Twitter via dev.twitter.com Then modify the following lines:

consumer_key = 'c' # put your apps consumer key here
consumer_secret = 'd' # put your apps consumer secret here

At the bottom of the script you will see a demo of getting a bearer token, using the bearer token to perform a search and then invalidating the token.

Notice

This code is not tested and probably shouldn't be put into production systems, and is only supposed to reperesent the steps involved in performing application-only authentication. It is really really quickly and dirtly mocked up.

It also includes a bunch for rubbish at the bottom which I will clean up shortly
