OAuth

The driver includes embedded OAuth credentials in order to connect to Twitter. You can connect without setting any connection properties for your user credentials. When you connect the driver opens the OAuth endpoint in your default browser. Log in and grant permissions to the application. The driver then completes the OAuth process.

All tables require authentication. You must use OAuth to authenticate with Twitter. OAuth requires the authenticating user to interact with Twitter using the browser. For more information, refer to Using OAuth Authentication.
