Verify OAuth Token on Twitter

I'm storing the oauth info from Twitter in a Flash Cookie after the user goes though the oauth process. Twitter says that this token should only expire if Twitter or the user revokes the app's access.

Is there a call I can make to Twitter to verify that my stored token has not been revoked?

Solution

  • All API methods that require authentication will fail if the access token expires. However the specific method to verify who the user is and that the access token is still valid is GET account/verify_credentials
