Deal with OAuth timing out #16

Closed frabcus closed 11 years ago

frabcus commented 11 years ago

When does Twitter time out OAuth?

Apparently we can renew it on cron, perhaps the current code does this naturally, but it might not.

Let's wait to see this happen.

This claims it doesn't timeout:

How long does an access token last?

We do not currently expire access tokens. Your access token will be invalid if a user explicitly rejects your application from their settings or if a Twitter admin suspends your application. If your application is suspended there will be a note on your application page saying that it has been suspended.
