Twitter Oauth login duration

Question

Does Twitter Oauth provide an opportunity to authorize a consumer for a long period of time?

For example, if a user uses a consumer application that automatically generates status updates, can the user allow this consumer once and then let him send status updates over the next 12 months?

Answer 1

Yes. When the user clicks the "Allow" button, the third-party application receives an access token with an indefinite duration. Currently, tokens are valid until the user cancels them.

Answer 2

When a user permits your application, they are returned to you with the original request markers. They have a limited window before expiration to avoid forced coercion. These request tokens can be exchanged for access tokens that do not currently expire.

Users can cancel access tokens at any time.
