Get username from client

[Eileen]

Is it possible to get a twitter account's username from a Twitter client?  Specifically, I would like to get the name for the twitter account associated with the client's access tokens and secrets.  I searched through the documentation on rubydoc but wasn't able to find anything.  I did try using attributes and `client.screen_name`, but received an unknown method error.

For context, I'm currently working on a twitter bot that gives auto-replies in response to hashtags when it is called into a conversation.  We want to prevent the bot from tweeting at itself, so we are currently hard-coding in the bot name as an account not to tweet at.  It would be helpful if we could replace the hard-coded name with something like `client.account_name`.

You should be able to use Client#verify_credentials:

irb(main):011:0> client.verify_credentials.screen_name

=> "pengwynn"

That worked perfectly.  Thank you!
