# twitter-oob
> A Node.js CLI app to obtain Twitter credentials in "out of band" mode
## When to use it
If you ever want to write an application that connects to Twitter
but you don't want to provide everything needed for a full-scale OAuth process like
callback URLs and such. (And if you want to register your app on **account A** but use it
with **account B**)
## How it works
For cases like these Twitter has a nice feature called "out of band" or obb authentication.
Using your apps *consumer key* and *consumer secret* you can generate a *request token* that
can be passed to Twitter as an URL-parameter.
Instead of performing a callback to your backend you will receive a PIN-code for verification. A PIN-code that can then be used to obtail the final *access token* and *access token secret*
## How to use it
### Install
```
npm install twitter-oob -g
```
### Run
```
twoob auth
```
