Reply tweets - set in_reply_to_in using twitter_oauth - ruby-on-rails

I am not able to reply to tweets usign twitter_oauth.
Here is my code
#twitter_client = TwitterOAuth::Client.new(
:consumer_key => 'key ',
:consumer_secret => 'secret',
:token => token,
:secret => secret
)
response = #twitter_client.update(response_description, {"in_reply_to_status_id" => tweet_id})
logger.info response.inspect
It posts the tweet but not as a reply.

Had the same problem. You need to include the twitter username of the tweet to which you are replying.
Note:: This parameter will be ignored unless the author of the tweet this parameter references is mentioned within the status text. Therefore, you must include #username, where username is the author of the referenced tweet, within the update.
Found this at https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/post/statuses/update stated in relation to in_reply_to_status_id param.

how to properly authenticate user with devise_token_auth rails gem?

I am trying to write a simple test for a URL which should be visible only to logged in user (I use before_action :authenticate_user! to achieve this).
Even though I (think) that I properly assign all the headers I always get JSON response {"errors":["Authorized users only."]}
My test looks like this (Login (to get header info) then visit protected URL with all the headers needed)
post "/api/v1/auth/sign_in", {:email => user.email, password: 'password'}
header_hash = {
'access-token' => response.headers['access-token'],
'uid' => response.headers['uid'],
'client' => response.headers['client'],
'expiry' => response.headers['expiry']
}
get "/api/v1/subscription_status", nil , header_hash
What am I doing wrong?
I didn't know that authentication token is changing on each request by default.
conf/device_token_auth.rb
config.change_headers_on_each_request = false
I set this setting to false and afterwards I got responses which I expected.

How do I insert X-PAYPAL headers with Rails Invoice SDK?

I'm using the paypal SDK for invoicing located here:
https://github.com/paypal/invoice-sdk-ruby
This works great.
I integrated the paypal permissions SDK for rails:
https://github.com/paypal/permissions-sdk-ruby
The authorization workflow is working great.
So now I need to put them together. The documentation for the permissions sdk leaves off after you get your token. It doesn't explain how to use it with the other paypal SDKs (at least not so I could understand :D ) The invoice sdk tells you to see the Auth sdk.
Paypal tells me:
# Third-party Auth headers
-H "X-PAYPAL-SECURITY-SUBJECT:<receiverEdress>" # Merchant's PayPal e-mail
-H "X-PAYPAL-AUTHENTICATION:<OAuthSig>" # Generated OAuth Signature
Don't know how to insert that. The request is generated here in my model:
#create_and_send_invoice = api.build_create_and_send_invoice(paypalized || default_api_value)
The data itself is assembled in the invoice model like so:
paypalized = {
:access_token => self.user.paypal_token,
:invoice => {
:merchantEmail => self.user.paypal_email || self.user.email,
:payerEmail => self.client.email,
:itemList => #itemlist,
:currencyCode => "USD",
:paymentTerms => "DueOnReceipt",
:invoiceDate => self.updated_at,
:number => self.name,
:note => self.description,
:merchantInfo => #businessinfo
# project / Invoice title?
} # end invoice
} # end paypalized
return paypalized
This implementation is not working and the access_token field is being rejected. I looked through the gems associated with the sdks but can't see where the headers themselves are built or how to interact with that.
UPDATE: Found this which gives me a clue...
INVOICE_HTTP_HEADER = { "X-PAYPAL-REQUEST-SOURCE" => "invoice-ruby-sdk-#{VERSION}" }
This seems to be used here during calls in the paypal-sdk-invoice gem:
# Service Call: CreateAndSendInvoice
# #param CreateAndSendInvoiceRequest
# #return CreateAndSendInvoiceResponse
def CreateAndSendInvoice(options = {} , http_header = {})
request_object = BuildCreateAndSendInvoice(options)
request_hash = request_object.to_hash
...
I notice that there's two arguments: options and http_header. It's possible I can modify the http_header argument and pass it this way in my controller:
#create_and_send_invoice_response = api.create_and_send_invoice(#create_and_send_invoice, #cutsom_header)
or maybe
#create_and_send_invoice = api.build_create_and_send_invoice(data, custom_header)
I'll keep this updated since I googled around a lot and couldn't find any clear answers on how to do this...
You have to pass the token and token_secret while creating API object for third-party authentication.
#api = PayPal::SDK::Invoice::API.new({
:token => "replace with token",
:token_secret => "replace with token-secret" })

Rails, OmniAuth, google_oauth2, google-api-client, Moments.insert... 401 unauthorized... why?

I haven't been able to find an answer to this online -- aside from using the Google+ Sign In button, which I don't want to use at this point because I don't want to get into Javascript if I don't have to.
I have a Ruby on Rails application (ruby v1.9.3, rails v3.2.13) in which I've hooked up OmniAuth and I'm using the google_oauth2 gem to integrate with Google+.
My simple goal is to allow a user to authenticate with Google+, grant access to my Google API project, and then be able to post a moment to the Google+ user's vault using the google-api-client gem.
I have already setup my Google API Project, created the OAuth 2.0 for Web Applications, and enabled Google+ API service.
I have OmniAuth setup with the following provider and I've added the request_visible_actions option to allow me to post (I think this is correct but haven't seen this used from any code examples I've looked at online...):
provider :google_oauth2, CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, {
access_type: 'offline',
scope: 'userinfo.email,userinfo.profile,plus.me,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login',
request_visible_actions: 'http://schemas.google.com/AddActivity',
redirect_uri: 'http://localhost/auth/google_oauth2/callback'
}
When I redirect my user to /auth/google_oauth2, it sends the user to Google+ to authorize my app and when the user approves, it returns to my callback where I can access the request.env["omniauth.auth"] and it has all the information I would expect, including tokens, email address, etc. I'm storing the access_token from auth["credentials"]["token"].
So far so good, right?
When I try to post the moment using the following code, I encounter an exception indicating a 401 unauthorized error.
client = Google::APIClient.new
client.authorization.access_token = self.access_token
plus = client.discovered_api('plus', 'v1')
moment = {
:type => 'http://schemas.google.com/AddActivity',
:target => { :id => Time.now.to_i.to_s,
:description => message,
:name => message
}
}
# post a moment/activity to the vault/profile
req_opts = { :api_method => plus.moments.insert,
:parameters => { :collection => 'vault', :userId => 'me', },
:body_object => moment
}
response = client.execute!(req_opts).body
I have also tried replacing
client.authorization.access_token = self.access_token
with
credentials = Hash.new
credentials[:access_token] = self.access_token
credentials[:refresh_token] = self.refresh_token
credentials[:expires_at] = self.expires_at
client.authorization.update_token!(credentials)
But no luck.
I think the issue either has to do with:
OmniAuth not issuing the request_visible_actions to Google correctly
Me not setting the token in the Google::APIClient object properly
I've gotten this far using the following resources, but I'm officially stuck:
http://blog.baugues.com/google-calendar-api-oauth2-and-ruby-on-rails
https://developers.google.com/+/api/latest/moments/insert
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Here is my working code from web app using 'omniauth-google-oauth2' along with 'google-api-client'. This sample code uses calendar API, but I guess it will work for you.
require 'google/api_client'
class Calendar
def initialize(user)
#user = user
end
def events
result = api_client.execute(:api_method => calendar.events.list,
:parameters => {'calendarId' => 'primary'},
:authorization => user_credentials)
result.data
end
private
def api_client
#client ||= begin
client = Google::APIClient.new(application_name: 'xxx', application_version: '0.0.1')
client.authorization.client_id = ENV["GOOGLE_KEY"]
client.authorization.client_secret = ENV["GOOGLE_SECRET"]
client.authorization.scope = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar'
client
end
end
def calendar
#calendar ||= api_client.discovered_api('calendar', 'v3')
end
def user_credentials
auth = api_client.authorization.dup
# #user.credentials is an OmniAuth::AuthHash cerated from request.env['omniauth.auth']['credentials']
auth.update_token!(access_token: #user.credentials.token)
auth
end
end
In the API console, did you register as a Web application or installed application?
I think for your case you must choose the installed application, so that the token is valid if user is not online.
Try changing https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login with just plus.login. Its working for me with the same setup.

Sending a post query sent via HTTParty

I'm working with the Buffer App API with HTTParty to try and add posts via the /updates/create method, but the API seems to ignore my "text" parameter and throws up an error. If I do it via cURL on the command line it works perfectly. Here's my code:
class BufferApp
include HTTParty
base_uri 'https://api.bufferapp.com/1'
def initialize(token, id)
#token = token
#id = id
end
def create(text)
BufferApp.post('/updates/create.json', :query => {"text" => text, "profile_ids[]" => #id, "access_token" => #token})
end
end
And I'm running the method like this:
BufferApp.new('{access_token}', '{profile_id}').create('{Text}')
I've added debug_output $stdout to the class and it seems to be posting OK:
POST /1/updates/create.json?text=Hello%20there%20why%20is%20this%20not%20working%3F&profile_ids[]={profile_id}&access_token={access_token} HTTP/1.1\r\nConnection: close\r\nHost: api.bufferapp.com\r\n\r\n"
But I get an error. Am I missing anything?
I reviewed the API, and the updates expect the JSON to be in the POST body, not the query string. Try :body instead of :query:
def create(text)
BufferApp.post('/updates/create.json', :body => {"text" => text, "profile_ids[]" => #id, "access_token" => #token})
end

Ruby/HTTParty: Timing out when adding feed to Google Reader using its API

I'm attempting to add a subscription to Google Reader, using it's API, however I'm getting the following error:
execution expired
I've had no problems reading (using 'get') a list of subscriptions or tags. But it times out when I attempt to add a sub (using 'post')
The code is written in Ruby on Rails and I'm using HTTParty to handle the communication with the web service.
My code is as follows (I'm still new to Ruby/Rails so sorry for any bad practices included below. I'm more than happy to have them pointed out to me):
class ReaderUser
# Include HTTParty - this handles all the GET and POST requests.
include HTTParty
...
def add_feed(feed_url)
# Prepare the query
url = "http://www.google.com/reader/api/0/subscription/quickadd?client=scroll"
query = { :quickadd => feed_url, :ac => 'subscribe', :T => #token }
query_as_string = "quickadd=#{CGI::escape(feed_url)}&ac=subscribe&T=#{CGI::escape(#token.to_s)}"
headers = { "Content-type" => "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8", "Content-Length" => query_as_string.length.to_s, "Authorization" => "GoogleLogin auth=#{#auth}" }
# Execute the query
self.class.post(url, :query => query, :headers => headers)
end
...
end
For reference, this is how I'm obtaining the token:
# Obtains a token from reader
# This is required to 'post' items
def get_token
# Populate #auth
get_auth
# Prepare the query
url = 'http://www.google.com/reader/api/0/token'
headers = {"Content-type" => "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "Authorization" => "GoogleLogin auth=#{#auth}" }
# Execute the query
#token = self.class.get(url, :headers => headers)
end
# Obtains the auth value.
# This is required to obtain the token and for other queries.
def get_auth
# Prepare the query
url = 'https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin'
query = { :service => 'reader', :Email => #username, :Passwd => #password }
# Execute the query
data = self.class.get(url, :query => query)
# Find the string positions of AUTH
auth_index = data.index("Auth=") + 5
# Now extract the values of the auth
#auth = data[auth_index,data.length]
end
I'd be happy to provide any additional information required.
Thanks in advance!
After a great deal of messing around, I've found the solution!
I simply had to set the Content-Length to "0". Previously I was setting it to the length of the 'query' as per the PHP class I was basing it on (greader.class.php). I mention this just in case someone else has the same problem.
