Twitter Authentication

This page illustrates how to authenticate Twitter identities with the Provenance SDK

Twitter Authentication Flow

When users attempt to verify their Twitter statistics through Clique's social oracles, they will undergo the Twitter authentication flow, as shown in the following diagram:

Setup

In order for the above authentication flow to work, we need you to provide the following two pieces of information:

Redirect URL

This is the URL of your website you will redirect your user to after he/she authorizes our Twitter Application to access his/her personal information. After installing the Clique SDK on your website, the Twitter client must be able to identify your frontend to perform secure authorization.
You will need this Redirect URL when applying for Twitter Application.
