1.1/statuses/update.json "code": 32, "message": "Could not authenticate you."

[Chirag24624560]

Team,

I’m getting error while executing 1.1/statuses/update.json (https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json?status=)
API and its returns
“code”: 32, “message”: “Could not authenticate you.”

I’m able to get Direct messages from https://api.twitter.com/1.1/direct_messages/events/list.json

Please advice. Do need any setting changes in application level

This sounds like an OAuth issue. Can you share a code snippet that shows how you are invoking that endpoint?

[Chirag24624560]

Hello andypiper,

I’m using POSTMAN to trigger this API

[Chirag24624560]

Here is my C# code

          var client = new RestClient(directmsg+"?status=TestingTweeting");

            client.Authenticator = OAuth1Authenticator.ForProtectedResource(
                ApplicationConfiguration.TwitterConfiguration.Authorization.ConsumerKey,
                ApplicationConfiguration.TwitterConfiguration.Authorization.ConsumerSecret,
                ApplicationConfiguration.TwitterConfiguration.Authorization.AccessToken,
                ApplicationConfiguration.TwitterConfiguration.Authorization.AccessSecret
                );

            var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
            request.AddHeader("postman-token", "36f422a9-2fe4-0c92-991b-106f756fe402");
            request.AddHeader("cache-control", "no-cache");
            IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
            var myresponse=response.Content

Result : {“errors”:[{“code”:32,“message”:“Could not authenticate you.”}]}

Team,
Can someone help me to solve this issue

I am having the same issue as Chirag24624560.
I am using the python tweepy library and am getting the following error.
tweepy.error.TweepError: [{‘code’: 32, ‘message’: ‘Could not authenticate you.’}]

Here is my code:
https://pastebin.com/VAQDXVzH

Additionally, when I attempt to regenerate my access token and secret I get an “Error Page Not Found” Alert at the top of my screen and the token and secret do not update.
I am attempting to regenerate them at this page.
https://apps.twitter.com/app/APPID/keys

I am able to manually regenerate them by revoking access then generating them again. This does not fix the aforementioned “Could not authenticate you” bug though.

There’s currently an issue where you need to revoke and regenerate tokens on apps.twitter.com, yes.

In both of your cases, this sounds like a general OAuth issue. Things to look at - are you system clocks accurate? Are you properly encoding the request?

@Chirag24624560 I just used the RestSharp code generated by Postman in a new dotnet console application to post a Tweet update. That code looks a little different to the code you’ve posted above.

using System;
using RestSharp;

namespace testclient
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var client = new RestClient("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json?status=another%20test%20in%20dotnet");
            var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
            request.AddHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
            request.AddHeader("Authorization", "OAuth oauth_consumer_key=\"xxx\",oauth_token=\"xxxxr\",oauth_signature_method=\"HMAC-SHA1\",oauth_timestamp=\"1523311958\",oauth_nonce=\"xxxx\",oauth_version=\"1.0\",oauth_signature=\"xxxx"");
            request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
            request.AddHeader("Content-Length", "11964");
            request.AddHeader("Accept-Encoding", "gzip;q=1.0,deflate;q=0.6,identity;q=0.3");
            IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
            Console.WriteLine(response.Content);
        }
    }
}
