Twitter REST change "from API" to something meaningful

rest, twitter

Solution

This is covered in the Twitter API FAQ

If you would like tweets from your application to recieve a source parameter, please register an application and implement OAuth authentication. We will automatically include your application as the source for any tweets sent from your application.

Problem

When using simple request to post to Twitter the messages are signed with "sent from API". Is there a way to change that to the actual name of your application? Is it another post parameter or something else?
