Hi,

I had working SAS code (based on examples posted here, and on
blogs.sas.com) to connect to Twitter and collect statistics on my
Twitter account.
I hadn't run it for a while, but it doesn't work any longer.
Undoubtedly this is because Twitter has changed its authorization
scheme into OAuth. I could have guessed, because the Twitter app I use
on my Windows/Mobile phone (PockeTwit) suffered from the same change.

I haven't found any examples yet how to do the authentication now with
SAS Proc HTTP. Any hints?
I don't know (yet) anything on OAuth, so I thought I'd look and ask
around before starting on that...

Frank,

I'm not yet sufficiently familiar with those feeds, but would guess
that a good source to ask would be the two SAS employees who wrote the
SGF paper referenced in the following post:

P=3D12041

Also, I'm forwarding your post to SAS-L in case any of my colleagues,
there, know the answer.
