I'm working on adding support for MySpace in my application, and I think I've written everything correctly, but I seem to be getting a 401 error when the MSRequest delegate method is called. I would be happy to post my source code for those who are willing to help! Thanks, Derek
without seeing your code I can't say much but a 401 is a bad auth code. How do you generate whatever OAuth token you need for their XHR requests? I'd start by looking there, post some source for more help.

I know this question may be so simple but still posting here.
I have a WebService/Restful API written in RAILS which gives response in JSON format. According to the RAILS developer, it works fine under his development but not in my case.
My problem is,
Now, I want to test that Request/Response in Browser Rest Client (like
mozilla, chrome). However, when I hit the API there it gives me 401.
So I have 2 questions,
1] How to test it in Rest Client? if I make any mistake while passing header parameter in wrong way.
2] Is there anything other approach to do this?
API Details are,
URL : http://rails4.xxxxx.com/xx/xxxxx/{id}.json
//{id} can be any integer value
header
X-xxxxxx-Client:
487txxxxhu34hfixxxxxu3hfcfxxxxx4f3f3f
For more details, please refer below snaps.
Thanks is advance.
There are a lot of ways to test rest api:
cURL (CLI)
RestConsole (for Chrome)
RestAssured (java test framework)
Frisby (javascript test framework)
Problem was due to wrong credentials.
I am using this example: https://github.com/ajimix/asana-api-php-class/blob/master/examples/oauth.php to learn how to use the asana's oauth. I already registered my app on the asana's developers webpage. But, when I get the asana's response with my 'redirect_url'?code=0%XXXXXXX, localhost gives me a 500 status. I don't know why, does anyone know how I can solve it?
I tried using the other examples in there: https://github.com/ajimix/asana-api-php-class/blob/master/examples/, but I wasn't able to make them run either, I always get a 500 status. I think that the problem must be in my server, but I don't how solve it. Maybe changing something on the .htaccess file, but I don't really know what to put in there.
If you're looking to use the Asana API from PHP may I recommend the official first-party client: https://github.com/Asana/php-asana
It also contains examples of how to use with OAuth and is officially supported by us at Asana :-)
I'm trying to handle Alamofire errors globally, similar to this: AFNetworking: Handle error globally and repeat request
One use case would be to detect a 400 status code error (unauthorized / expired API token) and present the login page. Is there a way to hook on something in the Alamofire core or should I create my own error handler and always call validate().response() manually each time?
Thanks
At the moment you will have to handle that logic in your own custom response implementation. We (the Alamofire TC) are currently working on ways that we can make this process easier, but it's very difficult to get right without complicating the rest of the APIs. We're still a ways off yet.
With that said, I built an OAuth 2.0 system that handles this process in a different non-open-source library. It is possible, it's just difficult to do. You will need to hook into the response closure for all requests that could 401. See my answer here for a full breakdown of how to do this.
Hopefully that helps shed some light. Cheers 🍻
I am trying to understand how Google authentication works with OAuth 2.0. They give some examples at this link.
I am having trouble with one of the first steps. I can execute this http request in a browser:
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?scope=https://www.google.com/m8/feeds&client_id=21302922996.apps.googleusercontent.com&redirect_uri=https://www.example.com/back&response_type=token
and that works fine.
When I try to convert it to a curl GET operation,
curl https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?scope=https://www.google.com/m8/feeds&client_id=21302922996.apps.googleusercontent.com&redirect_uri=https://www.example.com/back&response_type=token
I get a response that tells me there is an OAuth 2.0 error: invalid_request.
Converting it to a POST, I can't get this operation to work.
curl http://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth -d “scope=https://www.google.com/m8/feeds&client_id=21302922996.apps.googleusercontent.com&redirect_uri=https://www.example.com/back&response_type=token”
The response is that the document has moved.
If I try this, I get similar results.
curl http://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth -data-urlencode “scope=https://www.google.com/m8/feeds&client_id=21302922996.apps.googleusercontent.com&redirect_uri=https://www.example.com/back&response_type=token”
I have never used curl or OAuth in my code before, so I want to understand some of these basics. Can someone tell me what is wrong with my GET and POST ?
I don't have a sure answer for you, but I was working on something similar for Instagram and one thing that stumped me for a while was that my redirect URL looked to be the same as Instagram expected, but I kept getting errors.
Like you, when I 'hand coded' the redirect URL, I got the result I expected, but my automated calls to the authentication URL failed. It turned out my ampersands were a url encoded which Instagram compared to the redirect URL and saw they were not identical. I'm not sure if that will get you closer to an answer, but I thought I'd share my experience since your question reminds me of the situation I was in. Good luck.
I'm authenticating with OAuth getting my request token, authorizing, doing POST to get the AccessToken and then pulling my user_timeline.xml
At this point I try and call the destroy api on a particular status id and it returns a 401 unauthorized.
I am able to take the url and the parameters out and call this through Fiddler2 and it works, but using it in a Delphi app with Indy V10 component, doing a POST it's giving this 401 still.
What can I be missing?
Thanks,
david
If I can figure this out this app is good to go, very frustrating.
Please help!
Figured it out. Finally ran a .NET version of code, ran Fiddler2 to see what it did and noticed the Authorization Header. I then had to find a reference to this in regards to the Indy Components to figure it out. You have to add CustomHeaders with a specific format.
You may wanna try my implementation with ICS, supports Unicode as well
