Twitter made several changes when they launched 1.1 of their API. One of the most notable changes is the introduction of authentication. That is, applications need to be authenticated before they are allowed to send requests to the API.
Authentication is powered by OAuth - an open protocol to allow secure authorization in a simple and standard method that allows users to approve application to act on their behalf without sharing their password.
In this tutorial, we will learn how to programmatically interact with Twitter's API as we develop a Twitter timeline WordPress widget that displays a list of latest tweets made by a Twitter user.
Here is a preview of the Twitter timeline widget to be built at the end of this tutorial.
