401 Unauthorized using oauth-python-twitter - twitter

I'm trying to implement "twitter oauth" in appengine(python) using http://code.google.com/p/oauth-python-twitter.
I use the following code to redirect the user into twitter:
twitter = OAuthApi(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET)
request_token = twitter.getRequestToken()
response.set_cookie('request_token', request_token.to_string())
signin_url = twitter.getAuthorizationURL(request_token)
return redirect_to(signin_url)
the user is successfully redirected but when he returns in my application i receive the following error:
HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized
File "/base/data/home/apps/app/controllers/users.py", line 46, in authenticate
access_token = twitter.getAccessToken()
File "/base/data/home/apps/app/lib/python/oauthtwitter.py", line 183, in getAccessToken
token = self._FetchUrl(url, no_cache=True)
......
File "/base/python_dist/lib/python2.5/urllib2.py", line 506, in http_error_default
raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp)
the error occurate when i try to get an access token.
request_token = request.cookies['request_token']
token = oauth.OAuthToken.from_string(request_token)
twitter = OAuthApi(app_globals.CONSUMER_KEY, app_globals.CONSUMER_SECRET, token) # everything works good
access_token = twitter.getAccessToken() # then, i receive the error.
Any idea?
Thank you!

i solved the problem just using the trunk version of oauth-python-twitter and python-twitter.

Make sure the user (or your self) has entered your app name in the Twitter authenticated section of their/your Twitter account so that your application has permission to connect.

Discord OAuth2 throws Missing Permissions error when I already granted it the right permissions

Literally every single post I see when I search this is about a bot. If you are here for a bot error leave, this is not about a bot.
I am trying to create a bot that allows users to join a server from OAuth2, and I already have the access token (which works) and I am able to successfully get their user id and everything. However, when I try to join a server it immediately throws the error '{"message": "Missing Permissions", "code": 50013}'.
OAuth link: https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1044368734988546068&redirect_uri=*****&response_type=code&scope=identify%20guilds.join
^ The link above works fine, it's just when I try to use it to join a server, it throws the issue.
my code:
def add_to_guild(access_token, guildID, userID):
url = f"{API_ENDPOINT}/guilds/{guildID}/members/{userID}"
data = {
"access_token": access_token,
}
headers = {
"Authorization": f"Bot {TOKEN}",
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
r = requests.put(url=url, headers=headers, json=data)
return r.text
PLEASE help me with this. Thank you

LinkedIn API Get Access Token Failed

We are trying to implement the LinkedIn API authentication module based on: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/authentication/authorization-code-flow?context=linkedin/context.
We have the redirect url for the application setup as our company's main page (https://www.{site}.com) and we are able to get the auth code from the redirect URL. However, it gives us 401 error below when exchange for access token:
b'{"error":"invalid_request","error_description":"Unable to retrieve
access token: authorization code not found"}'
The weird thing is, it works and we are able to exchange the code for access token if we switch the redirect url to a different site like https://www.example.com in the API Console. Below is the Py3 code we use:
from requests_oauthlib import OAuth2Session
from requests_oauthlib.compliance_fixes import linkedin_compliance_fix
# Credentials and redirect uri you get from registering a new application
client_id = 'client_id'
client_secret = 'client_secret'
redirect_url = 'redirect_url'
# OAuth endpoints given in the LinkedIn API documentation (check for updates)
authorization_base_url = 'https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/authorization'
token_url = 'https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/accessToken'
# Authorized Redirect URL (from LinkedIn config)
o2_session = OAuth2Session(client_id=client_id, redirect_uri=redirect_url, scope=['rw_ads', 'r_ads_reporting'])
linkedin = linkedin_compliance_fix(o2_session)
# Redirect user to LinkedIn for authorization
authorization_url, state = linkedin.authorization_url(authorization_base_url)
print('Please go here and authorize,', authorization_url)
# Get the authorization verifier code from the callback url
redirect_response = input('Paste the full redirect URL here:')
linkedin.fetch_token(token_url, include_client_id=client_id, client_secret=client_secret, authorization_response=redirect_response)
token = linkedin.access_token
Understood that the auth code has short life span, so tried both redirect URL seconds after the code is post back to the URL. Can anyone think of any reason could cause this weird different behaviors for different redirect URLs.

tweepy Not Authorized - tweepy.error.TweepError: Not authorized

I get the following error when I try to use tweepy for twitter authentication.
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tweepy/models.py", line 146, in followers
return self._api.followers(user_id=self.id, **kargs)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tweepy/binder.py", line 197, in _call
return method.execute()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tweepy/binder.py", line 173, in execute
raise TweepError(error_msg, resp)
tweepy.error.TweepError: Not authorized.
I am not building a web app. So, authentication is simpler.
consumer_key="----------"
consumer_secret="----------"
access_token="--------------"
access_token_secret="-----------------"
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)
api = tweepy.API(auth)
api.get_user('---').followers()
Fixed. The particular user had protected tweets. Hence, .followers() was failing.
I had a for that looped through my followers in order to get all their followers. And i got crashed with the same error.
My workaround was:
try:
api.get_user('---').followers()
...
except tweepy.TweepError:
print("Failed to run the command on that user, Skipping...")
Although it makes you miss some of the users. My loop has successfully finished and got about 99% percent of my followers. So It is probably really rare that a user has protected tweets.

Twitter 3-legged authorization in Ruby

I am trying my hand ruby on rails. Mostly I have written code in Sinatra. Anyway this question may not have to do anything with framework. And this question may sound a very novice question. I am playing with Twitter 1.1 APIs and OAuth first time.
I have created an app XYZ and registered it with Twitter. I got XYZ's consumer key i.e., CONSUMER_KEY and consumer secret i.e. CONSUMER_SECRET. I also got XYZ's own access token i.e ACCESS_TOKEN and access secret i.e. ACCESS_SECRET
XYZ application type: Read, Write and Access direct messages
XYZ callback URL: http://www.mysite.com/cback
And I have checked: Allow this application to be used to Sign in with Twitter
What I am trying to do is very simple:
1) Users come to my website and click a link Link your twitter account (not signin with twitter)
2) That opens twitter popup where user grants permission to XYZ to perform actions on his/her behalf
3) Once user permits and popup gets closed, XYZ app gets user's access token and secret and save in the database.
4) Then XYZ uses that user's token and secret to perform actions in future.
I may be moron that such work flow has been implemented on several thousands sites and Twitter API documentations explain this 3-legged authentication, still I am unable to figure it out.
I have read https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/3-legged-authorization and https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/implementing-sign-twitter Unfortunately no ruby code found on internet that explains with step by step example.
What link should be used to open twitter authentication page when user clicks Link your twitter account.
Can anyone here, write some pseudo code with my pseduo credential above to achieve my goal from beging till end of this work flow? Thanks.
UPDATE:
I started with requesting request token as
require 'oauth'
consumer = OAuth::Consumer.new(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET,
{ site: "https://twitter.com"})
request_token = consumer.get_request_token oauth_callback: 'http://www.mysite.com/tauth'
redirect_to request_token.authorize_url
I'm not familiar with ROR but here is the workflow of the OAuth 'dance' that you need to follow when the user clicks your button:
Obtain an unauthorized request token from Twitter by sending a
request to
POST https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token
signing the request using your consumer secret. This will be done in the background and
will be transparent to the user.
You will receive am oauth_token and oauth_token_secret back from
twitter.
Redirect the user to
https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=[token_received_from_twitter]
using the oauth token value you received from Twitter in step 2.
When the user authorizes your app they will be redirected to your
callback url with oauth_token and oauth_verifier appended to the
url. i.e.
http://www.mysite.com/cback?oauth_token=NPcudxy0yU5T3tBzho7iCotZ3cnetKwcTIRlX0iwRl0&oauth_verifer=uw7NjWHT6OJ1MpJOXsHfNxoAhPKpgI8BlYDhxEjIBY
Convert the request token into an access token by sending a signed
request along with the oauth_verifier to
POST
https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token
signing your request
with your consumer secret and the token secret received in step 2.
If everything goes ok, you will receive a new oauth_token and
oauth_token_secret from Twitter. This is your access token for the
user.
Using the access token and secret received in step 6 you can make
Twitter api calls on behalf the the user by sending signed requests
to the appropriate api endpoints.
Hope you solved your problem by this time, but I built this sample Sign in with Twitter ruby web app that provide all explanation you need to do this integration. Below there's a class that implements all necessary methods with comments:
require "net/https"
require "simple_oauth"

db.lock { db[obj["oauth_token"]] = obj }
db.close
return obj["oauth_token"]
end
# See https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/implementing-sign-twitter (Step 2)

# access Twitter API in behalf of logged user
dbtoken["access_token"] = obj["oauth_token"]
dbtoken["access_token_secret"] = obj["oauth_token_secret"]
db.lock { db[oauth_token] = dbtoken }
else
oauth_token = nil
end
db.close
return oauth_token
end
# This is a sample Twitter API request to
# make usage of user Access Token
# See https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/account/verify_credentials
def verify_credentials(oauth_token)
db = Daybreak::DB.new DATABASE
if dbtoken = db[oauth_token]
# see that now we use the app consumer variables
# plus user access token variables to sign the request
oauth = #oauth.dup
oauth[:token] = dbtoken["access_token"]
oauth[:token_secret] = dbtoken["access_token_secret"]
response = TwitterSignIn.request(
:get,
"https://api.twitter.com/1.1/account/verify_credentials.json",
{},
oauth
)
user = JSON.parse(response.body)
# Just saving user info to database
user.merge! dbtoken
db.lock { db[user["screen_name"]] = user }
result = user
else
result = nil
end
db.close
return result
end
# Generic request method used by methods above
def request(method, uri, params, oauth)
uri = URI.parse(uri.to_s)

# Oauth magic is done by simple_oauth gem.

google-api-client gem, fetch_access_token! - "Invalid Request"

Following is what I am trying to do -
client = Google::APIClient.new
client.authorization.client_id = 'XXXX'
client.authorization.client_secret = 'XXXXX'
client.authorization.scope = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar'
client.authorization.redirect_uri = 'http://www.aaaaa.com/'
calendar = client.discovered_api('calendar', 'v3')
In order to get access_token to make further requests, i make a call to
client.authorization.fetch_access_token!
Response I get is :
Signet::AuthorizationError: Authorization failed. Server message:
{
"error" : "invalid_request"
}
from D:/main/tools/jruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/signet-0.4.4/lib/signet/oauth_2/client.rb:865:in `fetch_access_token'
Later I changed made a few changes and set the grant_type to password and supplied user name and password.
client.authorization.grant_type = 'password'
client.authorization.username = 'aaaaa'
client.authorization.password = 'aaaaa'
Still facing the same issue.
Documentation is not of much help. Is there any setting that I am missing?
You probably already figured this out, but I think I know what the problem is. You must first navigate (in a browser) to client.authorization.authorization_uri, which is where you will be asked to grant access to the Google account. After that, you will be redirected to client.authorization.redirect_uri, which is http://www.aaaaa.com/ in the code you provided. There will be an authorization code appended on to the URL: http://www.aaaaa.com?code=<code here>. You must set client.authorization.code equal to that authorization code. Once you have done that, you should be able to call client.authorization.fetch_access_token! and then make calls to the API.
