用oauth令牌签署twitter rest请求

Question

I have an app using the twitter rest API. Everything is working fine but we're bumping into rate limits so we need to authenticate using oAuth. I have the oauth token and secret. It's not a consumer facing app and we will only need to authenticate using this token and secret.

My question is how to include the token and secret in the rest request to authenticate?

There's a plenty of documentation on how to obtain the token and secret but I can't find any on how to use them.

Using the TwitterOAuth PHP library it is as simple as this:

<?php
require_once('twitteroauth/twitteroauth.php');
require_once('config.php');

$connection = new TwitterOAuth(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET);

$content = $connection->get('account/verify_credentials');

There are several more example requests in the demo index.php.
