[erlang-questions] Twitter Account Activity API (webhooks) problems

[Marc Worrell]

Ah yes… was a bit confused.  Forget about twerl and just poll the other Twitter APIs.

We use oauth for the authentication and calls.

Here are the controllers that do the “OAuth dance”:

	https://github.com/zotonic/zotonic/tree/master/apps/zotonic_mod_twitter/src/controllers

We use this oauth library (copied from rebar.config):

	{oauth, ".*", {git, "https://github.com/tim/erlang-oauth.git", {tag, "v1.6.0"}}}

I started out using the erlang-oauth lib on github (https://github.com/tim/erlang-oauth <https://github.com/tim/erlang-oauth>) to generate a valid oauth 1.0 signature, but then Twitter authentication failed and I did my own oauth signing function. My function produced the exact same result as erlang-oauth though (go figure!), so the signature itself is probably not an issue. Maybe I'm not getting the parameters right, or the actual request.
