Verify access token with Twitter

I have a Web Api project that I have already configured to use Facebook & Google authentication.

Facebook and Google both have a way of verifying the access token given on authentication step.

Facebook:

"https://graph.facebook.com/debug_token?input_token={0}&access_token={1}", accessToken, appToken

Google:

"https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/tokeninfo?access_token={0}", accessToken

These return the app_id or consumer key for my applications.

What is the process for Twitter?

The documentation I have read isn't very clear and what I have tried fails and returns a 404.

You can use the Verify Credentials endpoint:

https://api.twitter.com/1.1/account/verify_credentials.json

This requires OAuth1A authorization and will verify the credentials of the authorizing user.
