public class TwitterTemplate
extends org.springframework.social.oauth1.AbstractOAuth1ApiBinding
implements Twitter

This is the central class for interacting with Twitter.

Most (not all) Twitter operations require OAuth authentication. To perform such operations, TwitterTemplate must be constructed with the minimal amount of information required to sign requests to Twitter's API with an OAuth Authorization header.
