Authentication Problem while connecting to https://stream.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/sample.json url

#1

Hi,

I have created an application under the url, https://apps.twitter.com/
and generated the corresponding access tokens. I have consumer key, consumer secret, access token, access token secret.

I have tried accessing the url, https://stream.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/sample.json for getting the live tweet data using the above credentials.

But I am getting unauthorized error like below ,

<h2>HTTP ERROR: 401</h2>
<p>Problem accessing '/1.1/statuses/sample.json'. Reason:
<pre>Unauthorized</pre>

Please help me in resolving this error.

Thanks in advance…

Hi,

You have everything required to connect on sample endpoint, however there could be a problem in the way you are creating the request. Can you provide more details on the language and library you’re using to connect?

Thanks

I have the same issue using ROAuth in R. Is this related to the OAuth tool being down currently?

I am also having the same issue and I can’t figure it out. I’ve also tried three REST api testers and none of them work. They all give the 401 Unauthorised.
Even when i try non-OAUTH authentication (basic auth) with a twitter username and password, it doesn’t work.
Logging onto twitter itself with that username and password combination does work however.

@lfcipriani : Thanks for your reply. I am using Java and org.scribe library for interacting to twitter streaming API.

No, this is not related to OAuth tool.

#7

This kind of authentication is no longer available, you should use OAuth 1.0a.

#8

Are you able to execute the example this lib provides? -> https://github.com/fernandezpablo85/scribe-java/blob/master/src/test/java/org/scribe/examples/TwitterExample.java

My response is below:

I’ve obfuscated the keys but that’s the error i’m getting.

@Ifcipriani: I just regenerated the access tokens again and it started working for me . Thanks for your reply

I’m also having this problem, but I’m using python with tweepy. Does anybody have a solution?

Are your keys current and valid?
