Tweepy twitter oauth authentication does not return oauth_verifier

Question

I am using a python library called tweepy for twitter. When I try to authorize a user, Twitter should redirect to the callback URL using auth_token and oauth_verifier. I only get auth_token in the url. Has anyone else had the same problem?

Answer 1

Twitter uses only oauth_verifier(PIN codes) for desktop applications. For web applications, Twitter circumvents this and does not use it. You can re-check your application settings at http://dev.twitter.com/apps
