Friends,I got a question,and I have googled it,but I didn't find the answer.
I create an iOS twitter app,and apply for a twitter API.
I used my API key in my app,Xcode returns error.
Just like this: http://tinypic.com/r/262ksnk/8
("Failed to validate oauth signature and token")
and this picture is my twitter api status
(sorry,I do not have enough coin to upload a pic,so post my pic here. )
what is wrong with my twitter api,can anyone help me?
Thanks very much.
What is wrong?
Best regards.
This error message relates to a HTTP 401 response.
Please make sure you are properly signing your OAuth requests. This guide will help you with the common pitfalls: Troubleshooting OAuth 1.0A.
In particular, if you are using valid keys and properly signing your OAuth requests but still receiving 401 errors, please check your system time. Since the OAuth signature relies on the current time, it must be in sync with the one from Twitter servers (exposed in all Date response headers from the Twitter API).
The "performance issues" described on the Twitter API status page apply to Twitter as a whole, and have nothing to do with your application. If you are having issues interacting with the Twitter API, we cannot diagnose those from the information provided ("error 3").

I have a CMS account an I'm trying to get earnings data from content owners report on Analytics API using OAuth 2.0 . Whenever I'm trying to do this through my website, I get the following error ;
Error calling GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/analytics/v1/reports?ids=contentOwner%3D%3DContentOwnerID&start-date=2005-01-01&end-date=2015-11-26&metrics=views%2Cearnings%2Clikes%2Cdislikes%2Cshares%2Ccomments&dimensions=30DayTotals&filters=channel%3D%3DChannel_ID: (403) Forbidden
I'm doing the same thing on TRY IT page and it works fine.
I'm thinking that I'm having issues with authenticating my domain. What do you think is the problem? How can I solve this issue?
Thank you,
403 means nobody has access to a page. As you noticed, you may have access to a similar page, but not to this one. It is not a matter of authentication. Authentication problems give a status 401 (meaning it can be fixed by adding proper authentication); 403 cannot be fixed.
Finally, I solved the problem..
Whoever will have this issue, please use the CMS user's OAuth 2.0 credentials instead of using channel credentials..
Hopefully someone here can help me fix this. I have been trying to make a web app for twitter, I have setup my application in the developer section of the twitter website.
I have set a callback url in both the developer section and in my code.
Where I get stuck is I get a 401 Unauthorized exception when requesting the Access Token. The app correctly sends the user to Twitter to ask for authorization, and then twitter send back to my callback URL successfully. My webapp then tries to request the access token and thats when the exceptions happens.
Below is an example of the API I call:
https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token?oauth_callback=http://www.example.com&oauth_consumer_key=6Rfhub7fDgCIazdg4dMECT6fJ&oauth_nonce=1721260&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&oauth_timestamp=1403965501&oauth_token=RCbfmuvzqFjJWHwCtWfNqEQ22uXFvv422AtHfBBYE&oauth_verifier=0QuTFy5SBmAl29VIWkBjfogJQ7GiSAoR2qIjokoii0&oauth_version=1.0&oauth_signature=JRzlH5Fiv5Ani3P+oXj5dxV58cA=
Any ideas where I might be going wrong?
Thanks
EDIT: Im using code from here http://www.aspdotnet-suresh.com/2012/05/add-twitter-login-authentication-to.html
and I changed it to use https:// not http://
Couldn't fix this issue. Using TweetSharp instead.
I'm trying to develop a desktop application to access an API exposed by Groundspeak for geocaching.com. The API requires the use of OAuth.
After finally figuring out why my message signature was being rejected (I had to double-encode my callback URL, after reading somewhere that double-encoding causes problems), I now receive the following error from Groundspeak when attempting to get a request token:
oauth_error_message=Error%20while%20reading%20message%20%27DotNetOpenAuth.OAuth.Messages.UnauthorizedTokenRequest%27%20parameter%20%27oauth_callback%27%20with%20value%20%27http%253A%252F%252Fwww.mysite.com%252F%27.
Not a very descriptive error message. What's the problem here? Groundspeak uses DotNetOpenAuth on its server. Seems like my callback URL might be causing some issue, but I don't have any idea what.
I should probably also say that I'm developing a desktop application, so the callback URL isn't really valid. It does point to a website I own, but that website has no idea about OAuth at all. If I omit the callback URL, I receive the error "Callback URL not present or not valid" or somesuch.
I don't know anything about Groundspeak but I'd guess that they require that you register your app's callback URL before using OAuth. At least Google and Microsoft do this with their OAuth APIs. Look for some kind of developer settings on Groundspeak.
This is definitely something that needs to be further defined in the future: OAuth for non-web applications. But there does seem to be a few possible solutions (not the cleanest) that you can try to get OAuth working within a desktop application. You can look into the articles below that have some working solutions (I have not tested this myself). It's based off of Google's workable solution for handling OAuth from installed desktop apps:
https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuthForInstalledApps
Link to possible workaround solutions:

Here's also a related article on SO for desktop app OAuth: OAuth for Desktop apps?
Hope this helps!
I may be missing something simple, but I am having difficulty in getting information about the logged in user. I've successfully authenticated using OAuth and have obtained an access_token. I understand that a user_key is required to get access to private data. I don't seem to be able to figure out how to get this. I'm just starting with EventBrite integration so I'm not completely familiar with it. I've integrated with Facebook in the past. Any help would be appreciated.
See the bit about access_tokens and request headers here:
http://developer.eventbrite.com/doc/authentication/
Or, use one of the API client libraries to make the request for you:

I recently got oAuth working for my iOS app to log in to Tumblr. Now I'm having trouble posting using the new API calls. I'm able to generate a request and prepare Autorization headers but I'm still getting errors.
Here is my URL:
http://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/my_blog.tumblr.com/post?tweet=no&tags=my%2C%20app&state=published&type=text&title=Hello&body=I%2520finally%2520got%2520this%2520to%2520work
Here is my Authorization header with x's in place of sensitive info:
Authorization = "OAuth realm=\"\", oauth_consumer_key=\"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\", oauth_token=\"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\", oauth_signature_method=\"HMAC-SHA1\", oauth_signature=\"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\", oauth_timestamp=\"1347656207\", oauth_nonce=\"XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX\", oauth_version=\"1.0\"";
There error I receive:
{"meta":{"status":400,"msg":"Bad Request"},"response":{"errors":["Post cannot be empty."]}}
Does anyone have experience with this? I've been working at it for at least 20 hours over a two day period.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I've also tried including authorization data in the url (i.e., oauth_token, oauth_consumer_key), essentially the stuff found in the header. When I do this I get a 401 "Not Authorized" error, which I know isn't correct because I just successfully called "http://api.tumblr.com/v2/user/info" which requires a valid authorization.
found solution, see explanation here.
