It seems everyone is panicking with new Twitter API v1.1 and I'm one of them...
So far, I've been able to use my twitter app with following authentication code
import tweepy
auth1 = tweepy.auth.OAuthHandler('My Consumer Key','My Consumer Secret')
auth1.set_access_token('Access Token','Access Token Secret')
api=tweepy.API(auth1)
url = "http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/show.json?id=" + someid
urllib2.urlopen(url).read()
I tried changing the 1 in url to 1.1 but it gives me bad authentication error...
I've created new access token but it also fails...
Is tweepy still usable under v1.1?
If so, what should I modify in my current code?
If not, what is the workaround?
If anyone could help me out, I would deeply appreciate it! :)
It looks like Tweepy is retiring. There have been commits on Github since the announcement and discussion of handing over to others or merging with Twython, but that hasn't happened yet.
That said, I recommend taking a look at Twython as a replacement.

I've searched pretty hard for an existing answer to this question because I have a feeling that I've made a stupid mistake, so please let me know if this has been asked already and I haven't found it.
I'm trying to make a little installed app that needs to access the OAuth Reddit API, and since it's installed it has to be by the implicit grant flow.
Here is the process I'm trying to use:
I'm having the user open this URL (private info removed):
https://www.reddit.com/api/v1/authorize?client_id=[client_id]&response_type=token&state=[random_state_data]&redirect_uri=http://localhost:3000&scope=read
But when the user gets redirected after authorizing it goes to a URL that looks like this:
http://localhost:3000/#access_token=[token]&token_type=bearer&state=[random_state_data]&expires_in=3600&scope=read
The problem is that the access token is in a query? string after the fragment identifier (the #), so I can't access it from a server hosted on port 3000. Have I made a mistake with how I handled the authentication? Or is it something more subtle?
Thanks in advance for your help, and let me know if you need more information or I made a mistake in asking this question.
It turns out this is a classic case of missing something in the manual.
In the information about Reddit's Implicit grant flow:
he response from this request, if successful, will be form encoded into the fragment with the following values:
So it was totally intended behavior that I just didn't pick up on. I guess I'll just have to do some Javascript magic to get the token from the fragment to my server.
Sorry if I wasted anyone's time.
So, I'm very new to this. I got a generated json file from my google developer console that holds information like private keys, client id, token stuff, etc.
Now, I'm trying to use the Google Analytics Report V4 api. I put all my code into a concern, and when I run the code I get this error:
Google::Apis::AuthorizationError: Unauthorized
So I know that I have to authorize my app, but I'm not sure how. I have this json file which appears to have all the information I need to authenticate my app.
After some research, I know that (on the following code) I need to assign analytics.authorization to something, I just don't know to what.
analytics = Google::Apis::AnalyticsreportingV4::AnalyticsReportingService.new
analytics.authorization = ???
Do you know of any method I'm supposed to call that takes in the location of my json file as a parameter or something that can in turn, authorize my rails app?
Thank you so so much if you can help.
I know there are other questions like this. But they use omniauth with devise I think, and I can't do that. I already have a specific context in which users need to be logged in to my app, so logging in with google wouldn't work in my case. Also, other question/answers that don't involve omniauth and devise are outdated or don't have an accepted answer.
I want to send authorize request to twitter API in order to get followers ids, i got access token and access token secret by creating a new application as shown here. I have no idea how to send authorize request in pharo smalltalk.
I want to get followers ids by performing this in pharo smalltalk .
I wanna know if there is any documentation or packages that can help me with this.
Here is the code i tried to work with.
|client|
client:= ZnClient new.
client https;
host: 'www.api.twitter.com/1.1/followers/ids.json';
queryAt: 'q' put: 'cursor=-1&screen_name=my name'.
client request headers at: 'Authorization' put:' OAuth oauth_consumer_key="Hp6FpBU7Bbqv89RqrHJzHw", oauth_nonce="9677be3a12e128702b06348677319e75", oauth_signature="GUQR%2FI%2Bd0XhQLJP5B0IHtDfiiLE%3D", oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1", oauth_timestamp="1387729271", oauth_token=" my acess token", oauth_version="1.0" '.
client get.
Welcome to Pharo community, Irfan.
You should take a look at Zinc framework. Here is a very nice documentation, you should be able to solve your problem after reading it.
Also as far as I know there is work in progress on the OAuth protocol, you can take a look here: https://github.com/svenvc/docs/blob/master/zinc/zinc-sso-paper.md. You definitely want to take a look at it because there are also 2 demos where you can interact with twitter
I used to do the following to get user timelines:
https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=twitterapi&count=2
Now that I'm switching to Twitter API 1.1, I thought all I would have to do is this:
https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=twitterapi&count=2
but I'm getting the bad authentication data error from Twitter. I had no authentication setup previously with twitter, does API version 1.1 require authentication?
I guess I can use the Twitter gem, looks like it makes things pretty simple. But I just want to know whether I can use the above URL like I used to!
Take a read of this. Your initial assumption is correct, authentication is now required for all endpoints in v1.1. So to answer your question your request is correct you just need to pass an OAuth token or use application-only authentication.
I generated my OAuth signature using twitter's own tool at https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/post/statuses/update How do I use the "signature base string" and "authorization header" with CFHTTP to post a new status on my own twitter account. I'm not trying to access anyone else's account, just need to be able to post status updates to my own account. Your help is really appreciated.
Don't bother writing it yourself, use this: http://monkehtweet.riaforge.org/ its great I have used it many times for twitter integration.
If you want to write it yourself, you'll have to follow the instructions documented on https://dev.twitter.com/docs.
A signature is a serialization and encoding of all your request values in combination with a signing key. It's all very well documented at https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/creating-signature
You'll need the hmac-sha1 encoding to create a valid signature. If you're not using coldfusion 10, you'll need something like this: HMAC SHA1 ColdFusion
