How to get token info from Sharekit for Twitter - ios

Question

My app displays a short list of tweets based on a given TV hashtag with the additional ability to post a tweet.
But now twitter has gone oauth for all requests, my tweet list doesnt appear as it was using the old search.atom API.
Therefore, how do I access the search api and pass in OAuth credentials using Sharekit so user authenticates just the once for viewing tweets and posting between sessions.
I have tried using SHKRequest, hoping, that as ShareKit has already authorised it will pass this information through; with no joy, is there some other way of doing this or am I just using it badly/wrong.
request = [[[SHKRequest alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?q=twitter&result_type=recent"]
delegate:self
isFinishedSelector:#selector(sendFinishedSearch:)
params:nil
method:#"GET"
autostart:YES] autorelease];
I do need to maintain compatibility with 4.3 API so I cant just use iOS5 Twitter API.
Disclaimer: I am inheriting project from someone so my XCode/ObjC knowledge is being learnt whilst I modify project (I come from C/C++ background), so please ignore my ignorance.

Answer 1

ShareKit contains an SHKTwitter class. It is a subclass of SHKOAuthSharer. As such, you can ask it to perform authorisations / refreshes and get the resulting token.
Create an instance of SHKTwitter and register as it's delegate. Implement the - (void)sharerAuthDidFinish:(SHKSharer *)sharer success:(BOOL)success delegate method. Then call tokenRequest. When the delegate method is called, if success is YES you can get the accessToken.
SHKTwitter *twitter = [[SHKTwitter alloc] init];
twitter.shareDelegate = self;
[twitter tokenRequest];
- (void)sharerAuthDidFinish:(SHKSharer *)sharer success:(BOOL)success
{
SHKTwitter *twitter = (SHKTwitter *)sharer;
if (twitter.accessToken != nil) {
NSLog(#"session: %#, %#", twitterSharer.accessToken.key, twitterSharer.accessToken.secret);
} else {
[twitter tokenAccess];
}
}

IN SHKOAuthSharer.m class You will get access Token in method:
- (void)tokenAccessTicket:(OAServiceTicket *)ticket didFinishWithData:(NSData *)data
{
if (SHKDebugShowLogs) // check so we don't have to alloc the string with the data if we aren't logging
SHKLog(#"tokenAccessTicket Response Body: %#", [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] autorelease]);
///[[SHKActivityIndicator currentIndicator] hide];
if (ticket.didSucceed)
{
NSString *responseBody = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data
encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
//piyush Added
NSArray *strArray = [responseBody componentsSeparatedByString:#"="];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]setObject:[strArray objectAtIndex:([strArray count]-1)] forKey:#"TwitterUsername"];
**self.accessToken** = [[OAToken alloc] initWithHTTPResponseBody:responseBody];
[responseBody release];
[self storeAccessToken];
//[self tryPendingAction];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:#"TwitterDidLogin" object:nil];
}
else
// TODO - better error handling here
[self tokenAccessTicket:ticket didFailWithError:[SHK error:SHKLocalizedString(#"There was a problem requesting access from %#", [self sharerTitle])]];
}
