how to send Twitter OAuth access tokens with ajax request?
I want to load in a user's home timeline after authenticating through 'sign it with twitter' using OAuth. I'm using this library to ha开发者_运维知识库ndle the authentication part https://github.com/jmathai/twitter-async
The authentication part is working fine but I'm unclear about how to send requests to twitter api as the given authenticated user. I want to make an ajax request for for the user's home timeline like this:
// this call produces "is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin" error
$.getJSON("http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/home_timeline.json", function(json) {
console.log(json);
});
So my question is how do I send the user's access token along with my request and where is the token stored? Or am I approaching this problem wrong?
You need to make this request into a JSONP request, so you can do cross-domain AJAX.
$.getJSON("http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/home_timeline.json?callback=?", function(json) {
console.log(json);
});
The ?callback=?
converts this into a JSONP request.
The link you provided is for a PHP library. If you want to make API calls in JavaScript, you need to use a JavaScript OAuth library.
