Twitter API Keys, Secrets, and Tokens

It looks like Twitter changed terminology over the years and did not update their docs appropriately, which leads to confusion (at least on my part).

According to https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/authorizing-request I need to use oauth_consumer_key and oauth_token.

At this time I want to access the account that is owned by the website that is making the request, so I am not trying to get a token for a website user, but instead use the tokens provided by Twitter for the Application.

In the Application details page, I have values for API key, API secret, Access token, and Access token secret

Can you tell me how these keys/secrets map to the oauth_consumer_key and oauth_token? And what are the other two used for?

Thanks!

OK, I figured it out.

It looks like Consumer maps to API and Access Token maps to OAuth Token, so to clarify:

oauth_consumer_key : API Key

oauth_token : Access Token

Consumer secret : API Secret

OAuth token secret : Access Token Secret
