What's the difference between twitter consumer key and access token

Viewed 3490

I am following railscasts 235-devise-and-omniauth-revised. The first step is setting up a twitter app credential. I found that there is

Consumer key/Consumer secret

and also

Access token/Access token secret

My question is simple, Why there are two pairs of credential, What's the right scenario to use them.

I noticed here is another same question, which is not help much.

Okay, Then, As far as I know, consumer_key pair is for server. access_key pair is for client. check below comment. Add your answer if you have other understanding.
