We are able to get past step 1, which returns us a temp_token or code.
When we try to invoke the URL for step 2, we get a "page not found"
response. Below is a sample of the URL we are generating and posting to
in order to get past stage 2.

As Jan mentioned it looks like you're passing your params in the query string, GET-style.
You need to make a POST request to that endpoint, and place the parameters in the body of the resquest.

I am working on a CustomerEngagement solution that is integrated with twitter. Looking for suggestion with implementation.
I have configured multiple twitter-apps with a call back URL for each twitter-app (same callback URL), pointing to the same end point in CustomerEngagement application.
I have 2 java methods written, 1 for responding to CRC challenge by twitter(authentication) and 1 for actually receiving the tweet from twitter.
I would like to configure multiple twitter-apps to be served/used by the same single instance of the CustomerEngagement-application from the same endpoint
However, the CustomerEngagement application should have a hint about which twitter-app is responsible for posting the tweet to the application, so that CRC response to twitter can be generated accordingly.
Can I pass a different request parameter in each call back URL of different twitter-apps to identify the app?
I already see a conversation on the same
https://twittercommunity.com/t/callback-url-with-fixed-query-string-parameters/107821
however, can some one please elaborate on how to achieve this ? I am assuming that this a 2 step process where registering the call back URL ( along with request parameter ) happens to be step 1, followed by setp 2 in which the call back by twitter having the request parameter registered in step 1 is passed !
Thanks in Advance!!
Say your configured callback_url is xyz.com/social/
append the query strings params when parsing the callback_url
tweepy
import tweepy
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret, 'xyz.com/social/?var=val')
url = auth.get_authorization_url()
You get an authorization URL that redirects to a twitter login page. After login, it returns
xyz.com/social/?var=val&oauth_token=****$oauth_verifier=***
Steps to reproduce
Register a redirect_uri in the client: http://example.com/publisher/auth
Direct a user to the /oauth/authorize endpoint with the redirect_uri including a query parameter:
https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=xxx&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fpublisher%2Fauth%3FinviteId%3D00001000-cf33-11e4-9f26-8789dd0b3e01&response_type=code&scope=basic&type=web_server
For reference, those query parameters are:
client_id=xxx
redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fpublisher%2Fauth%3FinviteId%3D00001000-cf33-11e4-9f26-8789dd0b3e01
response_type=code
scope=basic
type=web_server
Authenticate an instagram user and allow the app.
The user is redirected back to the correct redirect_uri.
Use the code query parameter from the redirected URI to post to Instagram's /oauth/access_token endpoint.
Expected behavior
The endpoint responds with 200 and an access token.
ACTUAL behavior
The endpoint responds with:
code=400
error_type = 'OAuthException'
error_message = 'Redirect URI doesn't match original redirect URI'
What I've Investigated So Far
To confirm that this is a problem with Instagram, I checked the API docs which very clearly state that adding query parameters to the redirect URI should be possible. I also tried varying only that query parameter. For example, when replaced with this /oauth/authorize URL I get the expected behavior:
https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?type=web_server&client_id=xxx&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fpublisher%2Fauth&response_type=code&scope=basic
For reference, those query parameters are:
client_id=xxx
redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fpublisher%2Fauth
response_type=code
scope=basic
type=web_server
Notes
This question is actually a duplicate of another question which actually didn't really turn out to be a question, and which never got any answers.
I have submitted a bug with Instagram, but I wanted to see if anyone had found this or come up with a workaround.
Had the same issue today. To get the custom data passed between requests you must include it as state param. My authorize request url looked something like this:
https://www.instagram.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=SOME_CLIENT_ID&response_type=code&redirect_uri=http://example.com/auth/InstagramRedirect/&state=855C0114-F860-420A-AEB1-A276644FCCEA
Notice the & and state=...
You have to provide the redirect_uri with your extra search params as the last parameter:
https://www.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=be1b911b487f4919b9c2fb7df0c4142c&type=web_server&response_type=code&scope=basic&redirect_uri=https://wpwifidemo.alepo.net/instagram/joinus/?inviteId=00001000-cf33-11e4-9f26-8789dd0b3e01
User will be redirected to:
https://wpwifidemo.alepo.net/instagram/joinus/?inviteId=00001000-cf33-11e4-9f26-8789dd0b3e01&code=CODE
It might be too late reply for this question. But i faced the same issue today & got this question already posted and solution for passing parameters to authentication URL is as follows.
It seems that your extra parameter is type=web_server , taking that into consideration, your URL for getting for code should be as follows
https://www.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=be1b911b487f4919b9c2fb7df0c4142c&redirect_uri=https://wpwifidemo.alepo.net/instagram/joinus/?type=web_server&response_type=code&scope=basic
And then while calling the accessToken API append your redirect_uri parameter with your passed parameter (not the same configured in the app).
e.g.
redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fpublisher%2Fauth%3FinviteId%3D00001000-cf33-11e4-9f26-8789dd0b3e01?type=web_server
I've downloaded this repo (api-presentation) to experiment with api in rails app.
Here's an article with video that explains what is api and how to use it....

Now I'm trying to add a record through POST request with Postman extension and I'm geting:
param is missing or the value is empty: contact
What am I doing wrong?
Here's a screen with the error:
I added Header/Value and it worked for me. The question's probably lame.
I'm writing some functional tests for a POST API endpoint. I've reviewed the documentation and can't find a way to add content to the POST body. The post method for sfBrowser:
post('some url',array('x'=>'y'))
Only creates POST parameters (in this case x=y). Is there anyway of adding content to the post body using sfBrowser?
From what I have found here, here and here, the POST format takes parameter:value format, so you can send your JSON with some code like:
post('some url', array('json_data' => json_encode($toJson))
and then decode in your action with
$jsonObj = json_decode($request->getParameter('json_data'));
but you need to associate your JSON data with a parameter name in your POST to retrieve it on the server side.
As a side note, after looking at the Symfony code, the parameters are given straight to $_POST except for CSRF, which is tweaked.
I am using "/reader/api/0/stream/items/ids" API to get the item ids for sources that I want.
I have quite a number of sources, so I repeated "s=" parameter to include in the api url.
However, google has given me an error of "URL is too long".
So the question is that How can I solve it so that I just use one time api call to get item ids for that many sources?
Thanks
It seems that /reader/api/0/stream/items/ids path supports a POST method. This means the amount of data you could pass by using POST verb is much more than by using a query string and a GET method.
So use https://www.google.com/reader/api/0/stream/items/ids URL for the post, and pass your query string as a post data. Don't forget to include an action token(T) which is required for POST requests.
