Authoritarian - Twitter OAuth Manager
DESCRIPTION
Authoritarian is a command line interface for managing Twitter authorizations to your application. God forbid Twitter give us a simple way to manually add test accounts to our application.
Authoritarian follows the rules of Semantic Versioning.
INSTALL
To install Authoritarian, simply install the gem:
$ [sudo] gem install authoritarian
APPLICATIONS
To authorize using Twitter's API, start by registering your application in authoritarian:
$ authoritarian add application
Name: My Cool App
Consumer Key: HJvxyS06ykAA5AxYruY2p
Consumer Secret: 4wftaMYXpylkveupjQ4YDDZlarS35UJHR1ZHHSfjto
You can find your Consumer Key and Consumer Secret for your application by
going to the Twitter Developer Applications site
and clicking on the application you'd like to add. The key and secret are listed
under OAuth 1.0a Settings.
You can view your registered applications:
$ authoritarian show applications
$ authoritarian show applications --all
The --all option shows the consumer key and secret for each application.
Finally, you can remove your application by running:
$ authoritarian show applications
You'll be presented with prompts to select the application you wish to remove.
USERS
Once you've registered a Twitter application with Authoritarian, you can authorize individual Twitter users to your application from the command line.
To authorize a user, simply type:
$ authoritarian add user
And to show a list of all users, type:
$ authoritarian show users
$ authoritarian show users --all
The --all option will append the OAuth token and OAuth token secret for each
user registered to Authoritarian.
To remove a user from Authoritarian (but not deauthorize), type:
$ authoritarian remove user
