Aside from whatever issues you’re experiencing, you’ll want to regenerate your API keys and secret as soon as possible. Within the variable dump you left, your key secrets were visible – I’ve obfuscated them for you now.

On to your issue:
The oauth_token being used in this request on account/verify_credentials looks like a request token and not an access token. Are you using the right set of variables?

satanko · 2011-09-14T16:38:08.000Z

Thanks, I have regenerated the keys again. requestToken and accesToken are what OAuth returns.

cmpolito · 2012-05-18T16:36:05.000Z

you are a genius… I have been jacking with this for a month!!!

"Are you using the right set of variables? " - lol

Wow! Thanks sooo much!
