Hello,
As a web developer - I have several clients who display their own tweets on their own website, and as such I’m trying to figure out what the best practice would be for getting access tokens.
I realise that setting up a single ‘timeline reader’ app on my own twitter account would probably eventually fall foul of rate limits as the number of visitors and sites increased - even with some caching.
So do I:
#1 - Set up an app on my own twitter account (where I can look after it) for each website or
#2 - Get them to set up apps on their own twitter accounts and let me have the access tokens / keys? (or let me into their accounts one time to do it for them)
It seems to me that #1 is best because it doesn’t involve me needing to ask for access to their accounts to do setup or talking them through it / emailing tokens and keys around. Also, if they wanted to change provider away from me later, their new provider could trivially set up a new app?
I just thought I’d check, though.
